I don't think we disagree with that. We are saying that it is possible to add more interesting Wizard at-wills in the future, even as Scorching burst retains its own niche vs. the powers of other controllers.

I definitely see your point. Gribble's idea (just a couple posts above) to have Lightning Vanguard target Fortitude instead of Reflex is also intriguing. All that aside, I think it is excellent that you have been addressing this fan feedback directly. Even if we end up not agreeing on the...

Hi Mr. Mearls, How do you feel about EasyT's idea to lower the damage or range of the Invoker's Lightning Vanguard power (even if only slightly) just so that Scorching Burst is not overshadowed by it completely, then just introducing more control-oriented at-wills for the Wizard in Arcane...

I hadn't considered this point before, but you are absolutely right. Rather than decide "Scorching Burst doesn't have a control component, so we will revise this power later", it would be much better to lower the damage or range on Vanguard's Lightning (thus giving Scorching Burst a raison...

Sounds like a personal problem. Go ahead and change it to suit your taste in your game. In the real world, the Romans had no difficulty adopting the Greek gods and identifying many of those deities as being the same entities as their own gods. It was very common in polytheistic societies for...

Thanks so much for the insights into the design thought-process, Mr Mearls! It would be really nice to get an assurance that the Wizard will be brought up to speed in Arcane Power, so that we can know that this class won't just be left low on the power curve. Are you able to speak to that point...

Off the top of my head, the Wizard in my game has Sleep (talk about a status effect!), Stinking Cloud (5x5 persistent zone that blocks line of sight, damages and can be moved), Ice Storm (7x7 area immobilize with some damage, and turns area to difficult terrain for encounter), and Wall of Fog...

I could not disagree more. As someone who DMs a game that has nearly completed Heroic tier, I can say that anyone who says that Wizards (or Controllers in general) are underpowered needs some in-play experience with a well-built one. The Wizard in this game is considered by all of the players...

This one is a bit annoying to me. Page 172 of the Player's Handbook introduces the concept of the Destiny Quest, the final quest of the campaign which leads to the culmination of the PCs' respective epic destinies. It explicitly says that detailed information about Destiny Quests can be found...

Hey Valen, Are you still planning on your game and, if so, are you still looking for players? I live in Livermore and I'm looking for a game to join. Let me know if you've got an open slot!
