[QUOTE="auburn2, post: 8195489, member: 6855259"] I played a single class bladesinger several times. I did not use it like any other wizard, really completely the opposite of a regular wizard. To start with she has more defensive spells in the build and fewer offensive spells. You do have powerfull spells you use to take down bosses and large numbers, but you are not using lowlevel offensive spells in every battle like most wizards. You are using low level defensive spells instead. The biggest difference in my games is she was in the very front, ahead of the martial characters even, where a traditional wizard is typically in the very back. When you deploy your nukes as a Bladesinger you do it from the front line. Both of the bladesingers I have played were the character in the party that went into melee range first. They did not do a ton of damage up there unless they were throwing a lighting bolt or cone of cold or something but they were always the ones trying to draw the enemy attacks because they are very hard to hit. That is their role, get as many enemy as possible to atttack them and not other party members. A lot of people on this board don't like that style but it works very well in my experience. A multi class rogue will not be as effective at that because you get less spells and will run out of spell slots to cast shield. You will need to play more like a Rogue and be tactical about where you insert yourself where a single class bladesinger charges straight into the thickest part of the battle. [/QUOTE]
