Most people want all the classes to be balanced with each other in combat, and when they say combat, they mean "defeat enemies by force", not necessarily in armed combat.  And it does not mean the Wizard losing his powers, or everyone else gaining similar powers. The Wizard is always going to be able to do more things than anyone else (except maybe the Cleric) by his nature.   The wizard is going to GAIN flexibility in 4e. Chances are, the balancing within combat will be achieved by fighter types gaining a wider, more effective range of fighter-type abilities and options, especially at high levels. So that the Wizard can keep his powers, without rendering everyone else (except the Cleric) irrelevent at high levels.  The only class I see getting a big reduction in abilities is, hopefully, the Cleric.</blockquote>
