[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 2902886, member: 2525"] Not really. Everyone else seems to be on the topic of direct damage spells. We all agree that there are other options for spells. In fact, I mentioned (and then re-mentioned, and then re-re-mentioned) that one reason why a sorceror would choose to use a magic missle in a higher level spot is because those other non-direct-damage spells are easier to chose because you already have such a universally appealing and powerful direct-damage spell at your disposal that you don't need to burn another spells-known slot on a direct-damage spell and can use that spells-known slot on something else (like the spells you mentioned). It's not an issue of whether a sorceror can choose other spells. It's a question of whether relative to other spells in it's same category (which is direct damage) magic missle is overpowered. Just like, if discussing whether mage armor is overpowered, we would compare it to other AC boosting spells (or miss chance spells like Blur). And when discussing whether or not Entangle is overpowered, we would compare it to other battlefield control spells (like web and grease and Black Tentacles). [/QUOTE]
