[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9409204, member: 5889"] I would change this slightly to be.... "when the encounter starts, and the sorceror has a good spell for the encounter, the wizard is just an inferior sorceror". And frankly that is supposed to be the niche right? The whole idea is that the sorc is the most "powerful" caster in raw terms. They can do things with magic that makes other casters green with envy, its in their blood and bones. If a sorc is casting spell X, and a wizard is casting spell X.... the sorc is supposed to win. The wizard excels in the swiss army knife function. Sure on Spell X the sorc triumps, but on Spell Y (which the sorc doesn't have or in some cases cannot even take), the wizard gets to step into the sun. Downtime is also the wizard's playground, getting to use their wide selection for whatever particular activity is needed. As to the question of "who blasts better", an Evoker Wizard or a Sorc.....the answer is a sorc. Again, that's the niche. If a player is looking to just have raw dumb fun, they want to just sling as many fireballs and blasts as humanly possible and just revel in fire....than the sorc is the better option. Now if a player wants to do a lot of blasting....but then wants to do all the crazy cooky things outside of combats or in downtime, than the wizard might be more their style. [/QUOTE]
