[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 4290928, member: 2525"] I disagree. If you check character optimization threads on Wizards, or read the various Wizard handbooks being generated right now, a slight majority seem to think that the best Wizard is optimized for max Wis, with Int being the second stat (and of course you raise both as you get stat raises). They usually use various other abilities (like elven precision or action surge) to compensate for the loss of that +1 to hit, in exchange for the -1 to the targets saves versus effects like sleep. And though there is a slight lack of things that can increase your attack bonus, there is even more of a lack of things that can decrease the targets saves (though the use of an orb). There are lots and lots of threads on this topic, and while opinions differ, I think you cannot really say you know for sure that you have to "max Int or else you won't hit anything, ever." Even the uber min/maxers don't agree on this point. [/QUOTE]
