The long standing issue with wizard ISN'T that the crew is cannon fodder, you could say the same about nuke ops and in general, that mode is quite fun.
It's the fact that the current load out for months on end have not changed to reflect a balanced nature, resulting instead wizards becoming repetitive and stale as fuck. Go do a quick search on this forum about wizards and you'll see what I mean.
With being fair, there has been some minor changes. Staff of cthlulu was buffed so it's now well worth the cost. Cluwne was nerfed so that you don't drop all your clothing. Shocking grasp has been changed so that it no longer instagibs (fuck instagibing)
The problem is not with either of those spells though. Fireball has become the center of attention in almost every thread, and rightly so. It's pretty much an instant "fuck you" button. It has been suggested that perhaps fireball needs to become 2 spells instead of one. One spell being a flamethrower spell similar to genetics fire-breath, and another that sets explosive traps similar to mousetrap pipe-bombs, but with the addition of only the wizard being able to see them.
I'd like to see ice blast and bulls rush buffed, but prioritizing fireball above both.
