[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8613958, member: 7030563"] In the games I play fighters outdamage wizards in game by a wide margin. There are times when a Wizard hits a bunch of enemies hard, but usually the Wizard shines most when he debilitates enemies with save or suck (or save or suck that also do damage). In a numbers game in a white room a Wizard using AOE blasting might look great, but the problem is that is so hard to set up. There is also an inverse relationship between the potential damage from an AOE and your opportunity to use it. Something like fireball can catch a ton of enemies and do mega total damage, but you almost have to win initiative beating both enemies and allies to make this happen and there has to be a lot of enemies .... making it less likely you will win initiative. Otherwise you are usually getting only a few bad guys and sometimes it is so congested you can't use it at all. Lightning bolt is a lot more reliable because it is easier to place without causing friendly fire but you can't get many with it. [/QUOTE]
