[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5122689, member: 61155"] Flaming Sphere has the advantage of inflicting similar damage on multiple enemies for the entire encounter without needing to roll attacks - hence why it is so awesome. And providing a high-damage At-Will attack for the encounter as well, essentially. On the other hand, it isn't friendly fire which can make it harder to use, and can be limited by board positioning while Wizard's Fury let's you blast Magic Missiles wherever you want (and take advantage of various buffs for Ranged Basic Attacks.) Even as cool as those are, the PHB1 dailies can remain competitive - Freezing Cloud is really good nova damage on an area, and Sleep is potentially a powerhouse in terms of outright control. Acid Arrow... isn't great, and will have trouble comparing to the raw damage output of Flaming Sphere. But some of the others from Arcane Power remain decent due to control effects. Which I like - as good as Flaming Sphere is, if damage alone isn't what you are looking for, other options remain viable. [/QUOTE]
