D&D 5E What can a wizard do in that other casters can't?

[FrogReaver]

Rope Trick, Tiny Hut, and Polymorph beg to differ.

Wizards get all those spells. What exactly are you begging to differ about?

That Wizards get the whole kitchen sink, including healing. As opposed to excluding it.

Wizards get healing?

Wizards get healing?

I just listed three of the best spells for it in the game.

None of those spells heal.

None of those spells heal.

Of course they do. Let's look at Polymorph, for instance.
Your ally is low on health, to the point where the next couple of blows might drop them.
You cast Polymorph, they are now a Giant Ape.
They just went from 10-20 hp to 157 hp.
That's healing.

Or Leomund's Tiny Hut. The party as a whole is struggling, low on health and out of Hit Dice for you to heal them with a Rope Trick with.
You pop a Tiny Hut, they whole party can heal. Your one spell was just responsible for a full refreshing of all party resources, including hit points. That's healing.

Then you don't understand what healing actually means.

Polymorph doesn't heal
Rope Trick doesn't heal
Leomund's Tiny Hut doesn't heal

There's absolutley no point to this disagreement because none of the spells you cite for a wizard actually heal.
