What else are you going to do, besides move and cast?No.You should actually try playing a high-level wizard some time. A twinked _archer_ getting 5 attacks can seriously damage a flying wizard, yes. A twinked melee guy using a bow as a secondary weapon, not so much.If you are going to use a bow, that makes you a less twinked warblade with your primary class feature in the first place, and so again nothing is broken. In particular, spending the gp to enchant up both a melee weapon _and_ a ranged weapon is going to be fun for you.Most top-level wizards I've seen have Dex at least 20, and usually around 24. Are you really going to pump that much into Dex when you're playing a class whose primary feature revolves around melee?If by "clarity" you mean "true strike"... that's spending one round to quaff, and another round to attack. And displacement keeps going and going, while true strike works for one attack only. See above re speed being everything at high levels.(Using multiple potions of true strike is not a winning proposition, no.)Prep time. The ace in the hole for a wizard is time to prepare. You do not go into a duel with nothing up, and spend the first 5 rounds buffing.Really, try playing (or watching) a high-level wiz some time. It's a completely different play style, and might affect your perspective on how these things pan out.The mage spends that action laying the beatdown on the warblade BY casting a spell, which might or might not have a save attached. Heavens above, do you actually think "beating down" an opponent for a wiz means hitting them with a sharp stick?</blockquote>
