4E Class Survivor - Round 15 (To determine the final 3)

[Theroc]

That is simply not true, thunderwave pushes opponents, Cloud of Daggers creates an obstacle in that any entry into the square will cause damage and storm pillar will automatically zap any creature that moves adjacent to it.

Hrm... I must have been tired/mentally debilitated when I looked over the wizard powers. I stand corrected. So, my reason shifts towards the more nebulous, "I prefer innate power over book-knowledge as a concept".

Get ye gone Sorcerer.

I'm now pulling for the Wizard for the first time in any edition. As a DM, wizards lay waste to more of my devious plans far more than any other class. As a player, hanging with multiple wizards is really interesting and great as a solo defender with little other front-line help much of the time. They can funnel the battlefield so baddies have to deal with me.

Voted Sorcerer.

Honestly, next round I may not vote anymore.

Sorcerer needs to go down. Then the rogue.

 

[Hunter In Darkness]

Kinda clear the sorcerer goes down in a ball of flame this round

 

[Simm]

Get rid of the wizard, when it comes to fonts of magical power sorcerers are just better at it.

The current numbers confirm part of my theory from Round 2: people hate new things. (The other part of my theory is that people hate Leaders.) Everything "new" other than the Sorcerer is gone, and the Sorcerer is poised to get the boot too.

I think a more accurate (if less dramatic) conclusion is that people who dislike new things outnumber people who dislike other types of things, with the possible exception of people who dislike Leaders.

Save the Sorcerer!
Burn the Wizard!

Burn them both! However, since I can only vote for one to leave, I am voting Sorcerer.
