Actually the D&D mage got a little away from the pathetic creature that was the butt of every class joke there was with 3rd edition though not far enough as demonstrated by the 1st level Classic WoW mage.

Ironically WoW shows the major downside of levels - stuff that gave you problems at low levels is can now be one shotted with ease and you have to come out with all kinds of wacked out reasons as to why many of these guys are still a problem.
