[QUOTE="hbarsquared, post: 6403439, member: 4550"] A couple things stood out to me in your original post: So, you're playing a diviner and want to be god-like in battlefield control [i]and[/i] buffing [i]and[/i] debuffing [i]and[/i] defense [i]and[/i] direct damage? The answer I'm sure is pretty definitively "No," wizards can no longer be the best at everything, all the time. If you want a focus on direct damage, go sorcerer or evoker. Take advantage of your diviner abilities. Those re-rolls are amazing. And play a diviner: communication, planning, investigation - a lot of non-combat abilities and emphasis. If you're concerned with opponents shrugging off your spells, (possibly?) up your Int. The new Ability Score/Proficiency save system is nothing to sneeze at either: casting spells with a save for the right ability against the right monster takes planning and forethought. Casting [i]web[/i] on an orc is not a good play. [i]Suggestion[/i] is. [/QUOTE]
