[QUOTE="gnfnrf, post: 3846828, member: 2373"] In play, my main experience with a warmage actually felt a little overpowered. It was the second half of a Red Hand of Doom game, and the warmage in the party could drop on CR dragons with orbs incredibly quickly, and clear huge blocks of lesser foes. The advantage of the warmage is the sheer flexibility of damage dealing. At any time, you have access to all five orbs, fireball or lightning bolt, and so forth. As a sorc or wizard, even good spell selection can still be trumped by an unexpected encounter, but the warmage is always equipped to deal with changing circumstances. My problem with warmage, aside from slight balance issues with Sudden Maximized Orbs of Force, is that it is virtually impossible to distinguish warmages from each other. The character design just doesn't include any real choices other than feats and equipment, and that's not enough to make characters that seem very different most of the time. -- gnfnrf [/QUOTE]
