    Casters Suck? Please explain.

    We can't flank, however. Any feat I could take to give me CA when my team flanks is bunk. Two ranged characters and one melee character. The answer is that our party just won't work, I guess. I think that is sad.

    I still have to hit with my powers to perform the heals and other effects associated with the ability. Otherwise, my turn consists of Healing word, and that's it. Not to mention, that is only TWICE per encounter. Yes, I have a CD that allows me to heal in a burst. My issue last night is that NO...

    First of all, we lack a defender and a controller in our group. I am a cleric, therefore I am a Leader. No one is sucking at their intended role.

    Then we can all miss horribly together? We are a party of 3 implement users. No one targets AC. That should be balanced according to most of the posts in this thread, but I can't help but feel we are just going to be epic fail unless we power game the crap out of our characters and go strictly...

    Combat advantage with spells? Tell me how I can do this. Melee classes get higher attack bonuses and can easily get CA. I do not like that I have to work extra hard to hit something simply because I chose to be a caster. Is that supposed to be balanced because I should get hit less often? I...

    I didn't have a single target build, but you wouldn't believe the amount of wizards I know that do go single target as often as possible with their spells. I do understand the intention behind my lower attack. I just don't like it. XD

    To hit anything last night I had to roll at least a 10. I suppose I am just bitter! I only hit once in each of the 4 encounters. I just know that I had the same issue as my Wizard in the first 4e campaign I ever played.

    Gender Inequality Issue...

    I know it has already been said several times, but I think as long as you discuss that part of your world with your players, then you can get a clear answer based on their opinions. As a female player, I would have little issue with it. I love to roleplay, and I would not mind working with it...

    So, I now understand that the Monk cannot use her +3 Prof with Unarmed on her attacks. That puts her on par with me. It makes since because she doesn't attack AC, just like I do not attack AC. When is a monster's Reflex so much different from AC to warrant the serious lack of attack bonus for...

    Unless you do a single target Wizard build. But then you could argue that you really ought to take as many feats and things as you can to get your attack up. My biggest point is this: WHY must I pull out the stops to be on par with my martial friends? WHY must I try so hard and "waste" feat...

    Casters Suck? Please explain.

    I know that the Monk uses Unarmed. She gets a +3 Prof. with her unarmed fists. Is that not applied to her attacks? The powers I have that actually use attack: At-Wills- Astral Seal (vs Ref) Sacred Flame (vs Ref) Encounters- Bane (vs Will) Daily- Beacon of Hope (vs Will) As far as taking...

    So, the reason for lower attacks on casters is that we are attacking the lower defenses? They really aren't that much lower very often, though. :/ I will check with the Sorcerer on his attack. I knew it was fishy!

    Casters Suck? Please explain.

    I generally just lurk around the forums, but I finally have a question of my own. I have been playing 4e since it came out, and have played almost every class at least once for funsies. My favorites are still Wizard and Cleric, but I have been noticing more and more that I am not having fun...
