If that was the case, you wouldn't have nade this post

So the last part, it takes 10 levels before the cantrip can out damage a level 1 spell. That means great scaling in my eyes.

How many spells do you expect to cast in a day? The number of spell slots went down only a little from 2e. There are still more than enough slots to cast only slotted spells at higher levels. And I see you completely missed my point when giving the examples of spells. Like I stated before...

I can give you tips on how to be a better player, but if you lack the capacity to understand, then that's a problem you have to solve. The class is not broken, your capacity to understand it is limited.

They are senseable. At what point does a cantrips out damage. A level 1 chromatic orb? At level 11. At that point you have 6th level spells. You can easily boost the spell to level 2 or 3 to outdamage the cantrip at that point. What's the maximum amount of people can you possibly hit with a...

We're on fundamentally different views. You want me to help you solve a problem I don't believe exist. The difference between level 1 and 2 damaging spells is, they can hit multiple targets, where cantrips only hit single targets. The reason they don't scale better when you cast them at higher...

I feel like you don't understand how a wizard works, and therefore probably shouldn't play one. If you like single target damaging spells, then maybe you should just play an eldritch blast spamming warlock. That's not the purpose of the wizard. To put it in 4e terms. The wizard is a battlefield...

Why is this still going? Most spells at levels 1 and 2 will do more when you cast at a higher spell slot. They don't need to get strong because YOU GET HIGHER LEVEL SPELLS. At higher levels, you don't even need to use cantrips, becsuse you have so many slots. Boohoo that your weakest spell slots...

The wizard isn't broken.

Yes I object. The reason is, for the most part, non-magic users don't really have a way to increase their damage at all except more attacks. Most spells do scale of you cast them at a higher spell slot. Also, if you feel that there isn't a reason to cast low level spells for damage, don't. This...

Again, not necessarily a telltale sign. Someone can look like they haven't taken a single hit at the end of a fight and die from brain damage. There are many creatures tha might not look like they were damaged at all such as slimes, or incorporeal beings. Then there also creatures like undead...

Describing how badly hurt something is shouldn't be based off a creature's HP necessarily. O hate the idea of the DM saying "the creature is bloodied" as a clue that it's at <50% health. Bloodied should mean it took damage. At 50%, an intelligent living creature should be looling to escape (in...

It can be used this way at higher levels, except the problem is, the players never know when the moster is thst wounded, so it becomes a gamble, but it is a good tactic if used right.

Then it becomes up to the DM if he/she wants to the advantage/disadvantage cancel each other out, or if they want to grant one or the other, by the RAW, they should cancel each other out, and it becomes a straight roll. Also, the wizard only gets 1 attack per round and usually isn't very strong...

Also, to add to that, to fire bolt has disadvantage to prone targets, and more importantly he has to beat all 29HP on his sleep spell roll, which has a pretty low chance of that happening. He never included races in his scenario, if anyone is playing an elf or half elf, they would be outright...

The average party is 5-6 players. The fact that you are actively wanting to reduce the number to make your argument shows the fallacy in it. Also you're forgetting you habe to roll dice, and while it's possible to roll 40hp and take out 3 or 4 members of your party, it's just as possible to roll...

Ok let's use your lvl 1 PvP example. Let's say it's a party of 6. Fighter, Paladin, rogue, cleric, and sorcerer. The wizard casts sleep on the party. Let's say they are all optimal builds. So (Hp), F=13, P=12, R=9, C=9, S=6. Wizard rolls 22hp for sleep. He will take out the sorcerer and cleric...

It has the chance of wiping out a group of Kobolds. Mist creatures with more than 5hp, you'll be lucky to take out more than 2 or 3. Also, the spell does no damage and ends when someone takes an action to wake a sleeping person up, or they take damage. The spell is good for taking 2-5 minor...

No because it doesn't scale well, and in indiscriminately puts to sleep everyone in the area including the caster and their allies. It always go from lowest HP to highest, so that usually means the most dangerous enemies are usually unaffected, and the spell does nit scale well. Most casters...
