Nothing in D&D is an absolute - it has so many Variables that what you hold as the best way to play a Wizard will not always work and what you hate most for the class to do will.
All Classes work well when played well.
On this note - my all time favourite spell in the game is (Explosive Forceful) Great Thunderclap. Make ALL the saves!
sonofzeal, you're like a megazord of awesome and win.
