[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 4692985, member: 7006"] Everyone has the same number of options for the most part, because everyone has the same number of powers (give or take one or two). So if he's feeling like all he's doing is firing magic missiles over and over, it's because he's not using his other spells effectively. How often does he face off against numerous opponents at range? Scorching Burst should get used almost as often since it can hit multiple enemies at once, provided he's seeing the board correctly and his party members are paying attention as well. And as far as his encounters and dailies... he has a varied mix... he just needs to know when to use them. If he hasn't learned how/when to use his slowing effects, moving into combat to use his close blast power, when to select the right daily or utility power etc... then perhaps playing a controller isn't the right class for him. It sounds like he wants more varied ways of doing damage... which means he perhaps should change character altogether to warlock or sorcerer (if he wants to remain a spellcaster). Because unless he's fully into the idea of changing the gametable by using his controller powers to the fullest... then perhaps being a wizard is not his best fit. [/QUOTE]
