I guess you haven't found the necklace that gives Magic Missile an additional d4 for each missile making anything in the game a piece of cake, or the Staff of Arcane Blessings, making it impossible to miss with spells that have attack rolls for 10 rounds.
Wizards are literally the strongest class, if you know where to go and how to get there safely, early.
Even without these the Fire Bolt and Ray of Frost cantrips are the very best abilities in the game right now. Your low AC can also easily be offset with Magic Armour and then you tank / dodge just as well as Lae'Zel or any fighter would.
