You seem to be conflating my view of the overcorrection of the PF2 wizard with the correction of the PF1 wizard.That's balance, and then some. Like, having your balance cake with a thick layer of fun frosting on top.
And, I'm sorry, but I'll get, like, the world's smallest violin playing for you, in sympathy, since you've only had 45 years to enjoy OP wizards before PF2 pulled this heinous trick on you...
...which, honestly, I'm not even convinced has really happened, because, Iike I said, we've seen this reaction, before, and it still turned out, fairly quickly, that the wizard was still top of the heap, afterall.
With respect, everyone is arguing the PF1 wizard is OP.No one is arguing that the PF1 wizard is OP.
Again with respect, this has already been done, at least in my view. The system that truly and fundamentally fixes the caster-martial imbalance (and the whole d20 spellcasting infrastructure with it) is 5th edition.It should have been designed in the next iterated system with a tight rein.
Rather no one is arguing the PF1 wizard is not OP. Will correct.With respect, everyone is arguing the PF1 wizard is OP.
What were the problems with the Sorcerer and Druid? I would be concerned if full spellcasters were 'over corrected'.
The closest we ever saw to a balanced D&D wizard was 4e, and even then, it had a clear, if thin, edge in versatility & out of combat options /and/ only widened that lead in Essentials.Again with respect, this has already been done, at least in my view. The system that truly and fundamentally fixes the caster-martial imbalance (and the whole d20 spellcasting infrastructure with it) is 5th edition. .
As someone who has been running and playing 5th edition since the day in came out, how can there be a notion that wizards are more balanced? Any caster class in 5th Edition eats up all the special things the other classes do such as a wizard with the correct background is a better rogue than a rogue at breaking into places, sneaking, convincing people lies etc. Play a Bladesinger and not only can you fight but your ac is off the charts high and you get full spells. There has never been a truly balanced version of D&D / Pathfinder but they are all trying with every iteration. Here's to another attempt and hopefully it keeps being fun at higher levels!
