[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9486348, member: 87792"] There are two different answers based on whether you're looking at at creation/level up or in play. [B]At creation[/B] it's probably the cleric. You cast spells and if you don't know what to do you heal or hit people. And it's basically it's impossible to mess up making a cleric unless you dump wisdom. And they are flexible in play because of a variety of magic, and if you don't like what you've done you can just prepare a different set of spells - but most just go with a static spell loadout and are fine with that. [B]In play[/B] it's easily the warlock. You only have two resource pools for the magic; magic you can [I]always[/I] cast (which can be some pretty impressive stuff like Invisibility) and magic you have a [I]shared two slots for[/I]. There's no need to worry about upcasting or even metamagic (although not worrying about upcasting makes the levelling up process harder because you should sort that out at level up). You don't have so many spells as everyone else (one of IMO the few missteps in the 2024 update that isn't about zones) and you don't have to check which pool the spells come out of. [/QUOTE]
