[QUOTE="fearsomepirate, post: 8218444, member: 7021420"] You calculated the average damage a 14th-level sorc does in a 2-round nova based on the assumption the target doesn't have Legendary Resistance. What exactly are you blowing all your biggest resources on? Is it the traditional Nonthreatening Cube of Infinite Hit Points that lives in the middle of every white room on the internet, or is this something you regularly see Sorcerers do in actual high-level games?
