[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8846883, member: 50987"] Yikes, ya'll need to calm down. Someone disagreeing with you isn't the same thing as being condescending. Some people DO have different ideas about what is fun and balanced. And some people DO have considerably more experience than others. It's not an indictment. I've played wizards before (most recently an Abjurer, but I've also played an Illusionist and a Necromancer) and I never felt like I made a poor choice. I have never felt that a wizard was a bad character class: not bad in the sense of being too powerful or not powerful enough, not bad in the sense of having too many spells or not enough, not bad in the sense of their spells being too focused or too versatile, not bad compared to (insert character class here). The worst thing I can say about it is that it's not as fun to play as the Warlock in my opinion, but "because it's not a warlock" is a pretty weak condemnation. I think the wizard is a good character class, and I understand why it's so iconic. This isn't internet theory-crafting from the same three people on the Internet; this is my personal experience with playing the class over the years. And we clearly have had very different experiences with playing this class. It doesn't mean my experience is better than your experience; it just means they aren't compatible. [I]We are never going to agree[/I], and we need to be okay with that. [/QUOTE]
