[QUOTE="keterys, post: 6369152, member: 43019"] Yep, the wizard has a ton of powers. The sorcerer in 4e was actually in a pretty solid spot though. As good or better as any of the later classes, and a far cry from the actually more painful disparities like runepriest or seeker. That was my assumption for what you were thinking, yes, and why I said "[COLOR=#000000]it is certainly possible to build a very good AE blasting wizard"[/COLOR]. That does not change what I said in any way, though.[COLOR=#000000] The genasi blaster was merely quite strong, as opposed to a flame (or lightning) spiraling sorcerer who was so broken it had to be nerfed multiple ways and still remained lethal, or the absolutely degenerate dragon sorcerer breath build.[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR] The 5E sorcerer is closer to the 3e warmage or 4e sorcerer in concept, yes. I'm not sure that's a bad plan, even if it invalidates your previous character choices. After all, the only real conceit of sorcerers in 3e is had by just about anyone casting spells now.
