[QUOTE="AngryPurpleCyclops, post: 4717575, member: 82732"] Exact same experience I'm having with mine and pretty much the experience I've seen when I've been the rogue, the warlock or the cleric in other parties. The wizard is super effective at dishing out damage just not massive damage to a single target in one round. Sphere adds up though. Even on a solo encounter the wizard with sphere in play will keep pace with a rogue who gets CA every round. yes the 6-7 target hands is a joy to behold even if very rare. Same with fire shroud that is both surgical and has a massive area of effect. 49 squares makes getting 4-7 attacks possible quite a bit of the time. Nothing like the joy of scoring 4 or 5 ongoing damages. This is my favorite spell on the round I just got a power bonus for such as the +2 for a turn from divine glow. I had a 5 for 5 outing with shroud this weekend and the damage was 1 below max for 14 per target. Coupled with 4 missed saves I was up around 100 damage by the end of 3 rounds. Not typical but 100 dmg for a level 3 encounter power is pretty nasty. I'm happy if I'm getting two attacks per round with my wizard. I always look for more, that sweet spot where my eladrin can teleport to and drop a burning hands in just the right spot and catch a bunch of guys with it. But as long as I get to attack two creatures a round I feel like I'm getting more than my fair share of bang for the buck. i'm unsure about too conservative a design for wizards and if the arcane power splat book gives too much additional crunch for wizards they might easily become too powerful. They certainly not struggling to contribute already. [/QUOTE]
