I've liked the previous iterations of the bladesinger.But the current incarnation of the bladesinger just seems off to me.It seems to be a wizard that gives up the best parts of being a wizard (range, cover from allies etc.) to be a barely competent melee combatant - and that for only about 2 minutes a day.As a matter of fact, it seems the best way to play a bladesinger (certainly from a survivability standpoint) is to ignore the "wade into the fray" fluff hang back and enjoy the high AC and (at higher level) damage absorption (for the VERY limited times you get them) - and just be the full wizard you are.So what am I missing?</blockquote>
