[QUOTE="JD029, post: 7960709, member: 7022523"] My apologies if my responses weren't as receptive or composed as they should be. Seeking to refine a character build designed to fit around whatever else the party has to shine in the fringe scenarios, I didn't respond as well as I could have to the (build an entirely different type of character) comments. A buffer/debuffer/battlefield control build would certainly be a powerful addition to a party, being a force multiplier... but it is a very specific build for a role that was not the one I asked for help refining. The role I was seeking advise on refining was a Swiss Army Knife approach to encounters, not having the specialization of the rest of the party, but covering the bases so the party will never have zero-ability to overcome a situation. Advise on how to improve the character is still welcome. I'd appreciate if anyone else comments, to please make it an improvement on the role this character is designed to fill, not an unrelated build. Ex1: Having Guidance was good, because the character had a lot of redundancy in damaging cantrips, and Guidance is useful. Ex2: Suggesting that "flashy", "powerful and reliable spells" were somehow a wrong choice and that the character should be a designated buffer/debuffer... was not a useful suggestion. [/QUOTE]
