I think it took a lot of that (emoticon elided) because of its popularity. People had very high expectations, in contrast to the Fighter, which went from unplayable to pretty darn good.Considering that the wizard has probably taken morethan any other class (especially during the first 6-8 months of 4e), I am very happy to see it ranked in the top 5.
Apparently, 4e is the Dune edition:
"Long live the Fighters!"
My favorite to play so far have been Wizard, Barbarian, and ... pacifist Cleric!Favorite to play at the table? Barbarians or Wizards
