Have you? I think in a super-deadly fight, you have to expect to burn more than average resources.I'm not inflating. You appear to be counting the casts I reporting for a super-deadly encounter, and extrapolating out that same resource expenditure across the whole day. Let's put it another way: do you think BS expends the same resources in medium to hard encounters? Because I'm not finding that necessary in playing through them.Previously you argued that we should use the values in the DMG. Giants have better accuracy than the "standard" CR 5 creature, which has +6. With +6 against AC 22 most creatures are hitting only 1:16.Yes, in super-deadly encounters, I agree our BS needs to occasionally Shield. On average so far, I have found that to be 1-2 times. Super-deadly, remember. As I said, in most encounters, BS will hardly ever need to Shield. I'll also point out that you seem to be assuming no contribution by another Wizard and comparing with that. In a super-deadly encounter, characters will get hit. There will always be resource expenditure. BS can choose not to contribute, or could contribute with exactly the same spells... or can overshadow the martial tank in their party.</blockquote>
