[QUOTE="RyvenCedrylle, post: 4734018, member: 66726"] I still feel that in both flavor and mechanics, this Cosmic Sorcerer is stepping on some toes. I suppose the primary fluff difference could also be described in terms of proximity. The Cosmic Sorcerer is dealing with the Sun and Moon - stuff nearby relatively speaking - whereas the Warlock is toying with entities really far away. To this end, I might reskin all the Cosmic Sorcerer's flavor text to meteors or comets or something to retain the different feel. I also almost wonder if the devs picked up the concept of tropical vs. sidereal zodiacs for this one. The tropical zodiac puts 0° Aries on the position of the Sun at the vernal equinox regardless of the constellation's actual position - it's time based and feels like the Sorcerer's phases. The sidereal zodiac is the actual 'what does it look like up in the sky' zodiac and is space-oriented, like the far-off and foreign sounding star names mentioned in Dragon #366 in the Warlock 'Class Acts'. Just a thought. Mechanically.. are we sure this is a striker? I mean, alright it's only a half-dozen powers so far.. but really? Cages? Maybe its secondary role is controller and that's what we're seeing now. [/QUOTE]
