It wasn't until I got to the last sentence that I realised you were one of the D&D design team!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />From what I've seen in local play, most players think that Scorching Burst is one of the better wizard at-wills - certainly it's usually one of the two that first level wizards take (while Thunderwave is better stats-wise, it has the downside of usually being harder to use effectively and putting your wizard in harms way). Can you comment on what Scorching Burst being considered sub-par means for the other wizard powers?Are we likely to see errataed wizard at will powers (or just wholesale better/replacement powers in Arcane Power)? Or will the wizard just languish at the bottom of the controller at-will totem pole as more controller classes are released with better at-wills?IME, your at-wills really determine the relative power of classes, as they're the powers which are always available and generally always useful in a particular encounter...Oh, and I agree wizards aren't "crippled" per-se, but I think they can be noticibly weaker under most circumstances... and I can see it getting worse once Druids and Invokers hit the gametable for real!</blockquote>
