[QUOTE="Zinovia, post: 5107251, member: 57373"] There's no question but that Wandering Swordmage has some great features, but I really dislike how focused it is on using Wisdom as a secondary stat. To make effective use of the Wandering Swordmage abilities, you need to plan your character for this particular paragon path starting at level 1. Swordmages don't use wisdom for anything in particular, other than will defense, so they are unlikely to have a bonus in it. Sure, you could do it for roleplay purposes, and that's cool. I'm just saying they aren't very likely to have a bonus there. My players aren't the type to plan the development of their characters out in detail ahead of time. When selecting a class, they focused on what the class can do in heroic tier, and primarily at first level. That approach invalidates PP's like this one, because how would you know you will need a good wisdom in 10 more levels? It's a nice PP, but I chose one that doesn't require advance planning. The swordmage in our group is likely taking the Elemental Tempest genasi PP. [/QUOTE]
