IMHO, this means you don't need any other single-target, range 10 powers. So I'm going to ignore all of the rest of those.Blazing Starfall: 3x3 radiant damage. Low damage die, but who cares, you're a Sorcerer and you add lots of damage on top. Also, radiant damage. Oooo yeah.Acid Orb: range 20, basic attack. It's your Magic Missile. Do you have a Bard in your party? Do you have an Archery Ranger? If you have either, this might be a good choice.Burning Spray: 3x3 close blast. Do you expect to be in melee range very often? Does your DM allow White Lotus Riposte (from Dragon magazine)? If either, this is a great choice.- - -Encounter powers:These could be used to consolidate your role (e.g. close blasts for melee-range dude), or to compensate for gaps in your at-will powers (e.g. taking area bursts if you don't have Blazing Starfall).Level 1:Tempest Breath, Thundering Roar: 3x3 close blast powers, both are decent, don't take either if you have Burning Spray.Pinning Bolt, Explosive Pyre: single-target with some nice control. I like both.Ray of the Moon: single-target with poor control, unless you have a Fighter in the party -- then it becomes good.Bedeviling Burst, Mists of Disarray: these look like they'd play quite similarly. Not great control, but nice area Psychic damage.Level 3:Essence Prism: Ooooo yeah!Swirling Stars: Two damage types in an area burst. Tolerable.Thundering Gust: Decent as a "get away from me!" power.Dancing Lightning: Nice to kill minions screening a controller.Flame Spiral: VERY nice targeting, VERY nice to kill minions swarming you.Spectral Claw: Single target, good control.Level 7:Chaos Ray: Situational, but can be hilariously good.Spark Form: Mobility power with an attack glued on. Good.Chaos Storm: Meh.Thunder Bomb: Area damage, but only good control vs. one of the targets.Daily powers:Level 1:Dazzling Ray: ZOMG awesome.Howling Tempest: movable damage zone? Not bad at all.Shocking Magnetism: you get an aura of kill minions. Nice.Cosmos Call: are you playing Wild Magic because you love unpredictable effects?Chromatic Orb: as above, but even more random.Level 5:Slaad's Gambit: Nice way to negate a crit AND give a monster the finger.Glacial Armor: Do you plan to suffer many melee attacks?Reeling Torment: Could be nice.Moon and Stars: Great if you have a Fighter in the party; otherwise situational.Cheers, -- N</blockquote>
