I always play some sort of magical character. Once you get to higher levels you are hilariously more powerful than the fighters and rogues in your party. There is even a trope for it:
Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards
There is a D&D entry on there.

Eh no, it kinda is balanced in a way I guess though. Magical characters are incredibly weak at lower levels. Fighters can wade into battle and endure a lot of punishment. The trade off is later on the mage becomes more powerful.
