[QUOTE="Silverblade The Ench, post: 4817139, member: 19083"] By the way, regarding wizards, Arcane Power has the Dual Implement Spellcaster feat, so they can two held implements to damage...can you say [I]OUCH[/I]!? :p I am personally peeved that so many wizard AOE's hit allies, grr!! A few don't though. Some feats can stop allies being hurt by the way: War Wizardry (paragon), from Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide 4th ed, reduces damage and attack vs allies, it's damn good, IMHO. Spell Accuracy (epic) feat lets you omit 1 square per Wis modifier in the PHB, so many wizards are control wizards and use that stat...so that's a good one. I was using the character builder, to test stuff, Eladrin wizard, with Eladrin Sword Wizardy (heroic) lets you use a sword as a wand...now that could be interesting! At lvl 30, he does 2d6+19 damage with Thunderwave, with push 5 [LIST] [*][B]Epic Resurgance [/B](regain encounter power on a crit), since he uses a lot of area powers, lot of chances to crit. [*][B]Wizard Implement Expertize[/B] (epic) crits on 19-20 [*][B]Destructive Wizardy[/B] (paragon), he does +4 bonus damage to every one struck when he hits 2 or more targets at lvl 21+, less at heroic and paragon levels (so that will apply a lot) [*][B]Burning Blizzard[/B] feat (heroic) bonus damage on acid or cold powers [*][B]Arcane Admixture[/B] onto his other at will power to add fire, Chilling Cloud, which does 22hp damage every hit.,.area burst [*][B]Arcane Fire[/B] feat , target gains vulnerable 5 fire with 1st arcane attack you use against the target before end of next turn. So Chilling Cloud does 27 hp [*][b]Wintertouched[/] feat, gain combat advantage creature that is vulnerable to cold...see Chilling Cloud! [*][B]Alertness[/B] and [B]Imporved initiative[/B], so he gets that crucial first-strike chance! +22 initiative at lvl 30 [*]Dual Implement Spell Caster for more damage, he uses an orb and sword [*]War Wizardry to reduce any chance of hurting allies. [*]Second Implement (so he has wand and orb mastery) [*][B]Improved Orb of Imposition[/B], paragon, so when you use Orb of Imposition power, each time enemy fails it's save it takes a total of 10 damage and takes -2 saves anyway from [B]Spell Accuracy[/B]. [*][B]Explosive Spellcasting[/B], epic, implment extra damage crit can be aplied ot any single creature. [/b][/LIST][b] Arcane Wayfarer paragon path, crit hit = teleport the target 4 spaces. as a lvl 30 Magister epic destiny, he gets bonuses to the defence type he last attacked and twice per day can perform rituals as standard actions (now is that useful or what?!)
