[QUOTE="Wulfgar76, post: 6246018, member: 61867"] Not me. I think this person is likely looking at the 'non-scaling' Wizard in D&DNext without actually playing it. They see spells like fireball that doesn't automatically get better with level, and assume 'high level wizards suck'. The wizard in our group is not high level (9th), but usually always has a potent spell ready to drop round 1. His spell most of the time is an "encounter-buster" that puts a tough fight into easy mode. For an easy fight, the spell ends the encounter. Right now monster HPs and save bonuses are quite low, so that might be inflating the Wizard's effectiveness. Rarely does our 9th level wizard run out of effective spells to use, and I would say he probably has more influence on the encounter's outcome than any other single party member. 'Nova' potential is certainly there if he wants to pull the trigger. Right now the wizard, like all classes, grows in power linearly, which is quite refreshing IMO. [/QUOTE]
