[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 4289025, member: 29014"] The at-will for Warlord is a melee basic, but a bunch of the other higher-level Warlord powers just give a basic attack. But yeah, in the absense of that, for a high-Wis build Cloud of Daggers starts out slightly better than Magic Missile and moves up to incredibly-awesome if you have allies who can exploit the cloud with some sliding exploits. And if ever you come across an allied Warlord with those powers (due to PC death or whatever), you can always just retrain. But yeah, Wizard is one of the few instances where the Human ability to add a new at-will goes beyond worthless (most classes) or tolerable (a few others) to awesome. I would still trade that away if there existed a reasonable +Int +Wis race, but since there doesn't, Human is a pretty strong choice. Though Tiefling is good too for the Int and then for giving you that starting 12 in Charisma without putting any points in it (at which point the level 11 bump gives you 13 Charisma and you can take Spell Focus).
