[QUOTE="emanresu, post: 6294605, member: 6686506"] I get that vs the BBeG or the "boss" but vs multiple targets those area spells can cause some major damage. As an example fireball, a 3rd level spell, 5d6 damage to 20' radius. Lets say I avg roll 17 pts of damage. Thats a lot of half dead worgs n Ogres. Not to mention the fear of the BOOM spell. No metamagc feats to increase effectiveness, just the plain ole 5d6 save or damage. Its not likely half dead creatures are going to be anything less than startled by the BOOM. Im not saying Im a huge fan or not Im just trying to figure out why the all the negative press? Also 2nd part of my post was about the Psion as a Blaster? OR better worded Psion vs a Sorcerer vs the War Mage to fill the blaster roll. They can pick n chose energy type, if the warmage could do this, his spell list would be gimped majorly, prolly cut n half, and he would be more efficient. [/QUOTE]
