[QUOTE="Sitara, post: 4261913, member: 58107"] Wizards got the nerf stick very, very bad. Its understandable in intent, but the execution went way beyond expectations. At least, upon first glance. ANyhow, this thing about 'controllers' is getting very annoying. All the other classes too have roles but they still basically do what they did in earlier editions and in many cases do it even better (i.e. the fighter fights on the front lines and now thanbks to his dailies and encounter exploits can dish tons of damage, far more than 3e). But the wizard...now players are being forced to play this 'controller' guy who only slows enemies down/confuses them just so the rest of the party can defeat them. Fireball now, is a sad, sad joke. I can already see a ton of fixes being put out in supplements. Furthermore, this now invalidates actions of key npc's. I mean, how exactly did elminster survive alone in hell given that his powers are so mcuh weak; how did raistlin take on half the dragon queens army, etc. [/QUOTE]
