[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4519615, member: 63763"] The warlock and cleric may have some solid ranged/magic attack powers with effects that do interesting things. The Cleric may have some area attacks, zones and conjurations ... but nowhere near the ammount the wizard does. Clerics already had some of those in 3.5, and in both cases, the wizard was better at those types of things. Also, wizards gets free rituals more so than anyone else. They are in the only controller in the first book [and even spoiled so far, we've seen the barbarian [striker combo'd with defender/leader], the swordmage [defender] and the artificer [leader]. Wizards are still "unique" as they are the only ones that specifically fill their class role as controller [as opposed to warlock/swordmage/cleric that dabble in controller elements]. It's not a glass cannon of doing the most damage, but you are the best at spread shots, either hitting lots of targets, or creating dangerous places for the baddies to be. You aren't a cannon, your a missle launcher/mine layer. [/QUOTE]
