[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5625770, member: 82106"] Nice class design. I like the reuse of existing elements. Notice reused but also recontextualized so they will work in a different enough way to keep things from seeming like you're just another wizard, and yet you definitely ARE a wizard. Mechanically this should be pretty solid. You've got a few choices, go for charge optimization ALA Slayer, go for high mobility skirmisher like tactics, possibly with say a Drow Knife and picking up a rogue power somewhere, or almost defender-like maxing out defenses and taking feats that amplify stickiness. Picking up a daily power swap to another class would probably make good sense as well, it is a feat but in this case since you're 'trading up' from an encounter power to a true daily it may actually make sense. Seems like Frostcheese would work pretty well with this guy too. I think the wizard utility powers are actually going to be a pretty key piece of this class. having Shield or Expeditious Retreat on a melee character should be pretty handy. Overall it is a pretty elegant design, probably the best we've seen from WotC in a while. It will almost certainly perform better than the last few. [/QUOTE]
