[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8396754, member: 762"] The thing about this the PAM and Warcaster feat on a sorcerer - it's single target. I've found sorcerers do MUCH better when they let the martials deal with single targets and focus on multiples - either for buffing or for damage/incapacitation. Truly effective sorcerer tactics at 7th level: Twin haste on 2 party martials for 3 sorcerer points you now have 2 seriously buffed party members AND you can still cast non-concentration spells. simple and effective. or Open with Hypnotic Pattern and use careful spell as necessary. Hypnotic pattern is a great spell but it's a pain to position in many circumstances because it's not party friendly. Careful spell does not eliminate damage on AoE damage spells so is only semi useful for spells like fireball. Combine these 2 though and for 1 sorcery point you get the absolute best of both worlds - only the evoker can pull the same stunt. So again, interesting tactic - but I guess I just object to it being placed on such a high pedestal. [/QUOTE]
