I'm a wizard and all of my friends get to say "I use my bonus action to do X".

I am feeling left behind in the economy of actions as I have this whole bonus action that I have nothing to do with it.

Sure, there are a few Wizard spells with the casting time of Bonus Action, but who knows when or if I'll learn those.

I'm not too keen on using two weapon fighting with a wizard either, but I suppose that's possible.

 

Am I missing anything that a Wizard can do as a bonus action?

There are a few spells like Flaming Sphere that allow you to do stuff with them as a bonus action, but there are not alot of abilities inherint to the Wizard class that rely on bonus actions. You can think of it as your tax for being able to bend reality.

For being a concentration spell, Flaming Sphere is really cost efficient, if all you're planning on doing for the encounter is blasting with cantrips. Just throw out Flaming Sphere, and then cantrip them all to death while also bashing with the sphere for more damage. Sometimes... sometimes you just don't need to use your spells.
