[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6661208, member: 5834"] I have for myself. I did not think low level wizards sucked. I found interesting ways to use spells. Obviously they get more fun at higher level, most of the classes do. The hardest part might be surviving to level 5 if you get focused on. You have the lowest AC of the classes. In a point buy campaign, it's difficult to obtain an AC better than 16 with [I]mage armor[/I] if you use the 1st level slot. I sort of feel they should have just given caster's a mage armor type ability similar to the barbarian and monk's defense. It wouldn't have imbalanced anything. It would have made sense in the context of the game. Overall, wizard's are quite fun in 5E. I think you have to build them differently than the traditional wizard. Rather than being an erudite fellow that studies books all the time, it's better to be more well rounded. I highly recommend taking the Stealth skill if you can. [I]Minor Illusion[/I] and Stealth are quite fun. [/QUOTE]
