[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8537565, member: 6879661"] I’ve seen a lot of casters in 5e across three gaming groups. I’ve never seen a caster use the first three rounds of a combat to cast mirror image, fly and blink… mainly because the combat is usually done by then. Add in those shield spells, and misty steps to keep you alive while you’re doing it and you have have just wasted a third of your daily spells and done nothing of value apart from possibly soak damage. For the record. The 6 out of your 18 spells is actually a major resource drain. They’re worth taking sure, but it’s not a minor cost. 12 remaining spells definitely isn’t abundant, when you take into account utility spells, battlefield control and damage dealing. Most importantly though. The Fighter doesn’t need to ‘bridge the gap’ because they are [I]pret a porter[/I] from round one with the most important and most commonly required abilities in the game, taking hits and dishing hits out. That’s why a 20th fighter is on par with A 20th wizard. [/QUOTE]
