[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9636971, member: 6716779"] True but I think I would still pick sorcerous burst. It's 2 more damage on average vs SB. But if everything's vulnerable to fire those both explosions will be more useful. I'm noting most of the time PCs over kill things often by 7 points or so. Very rarely would 1-2 hit points matter. Can't white room that. Class features eg innate sorcery and empower spell also swing it for me. 2 points extra damage vs shave off 50% of hp or kill. In a vacuum I pick ray of frost over firebolt for example even though firebolt does more damage. Not fire is very appealing to me. Fire resistance is common enough to be annoying not so common enough I want to burn a feat on ignoring it. SB scales better as well and heading into higher levels I don't want to be using fire. Real game I'm picking lightning try something new acid. I've been wanting a ranged lightning cantrip since 2015 or so. 1d8 ranged was all it needed to be. [/QUOTE]
