The reason they're revising a lot of the cantrips is that most of them were worthless and there were only a short list of viable picks. So of course these new cantrips are way stronger than the old average. The old average was terrible and they're trying to bring it up.You have to compare Blade Ward against the other improved cantrips here and the relatively small number that most classes get to select. Yes, Blade Ward is very good. Do you think you're going to be in melee enough that you really need it? Need it when you may want Fire Bolt for your long range attack, Poison Spray for your stronger short range attack, and Acid Splash as your AoE cantrip? I don't know about you, but that looks like a hard choice to me.</blockquote>
