Wizard at 30 still using magic missle?

[Pistonrager]

1st level magic missile 20 int wizard. (7-13) (13 on crit)
30th level magic missile 28 Int wizard with +6 implement. (19-31)(31+6d6 on crit)


seems pretty good to me....but it wouldn't be my first action in a combat.

At least. It's not. A crossbow.

Thats why Wizards have improved initiative and encounter battlefield control powers

Ah, quite right. I guess I am looking forward, and realising that at-wills will be with them from 1st to 30th and for some reason it feels weird.

Yeah but when you are in round n+1 (where n is "I used up my last encounter power, and all the ways to get it back") of combat n+1 (where n is "I used up all my daily and utility powers, and all the ways to get them back") then those at will powers are going to look pretty damned good again.

That's one of the things I loved about City of Heroes when I played it. The powers you got at level 1 scaled up with you and, assuming you worked them into your build, were always useful.

So- your'e saying 4e IS like a video game? I knew it. I'm burning all my stuff

While the Fighter has changed his weapon for the 6th time to the brand new exciting "+5 magical 'oh-god-not-the-face' Greataxe of doom."

Will I, as a wizard, still be firing magic missle?

Yes, just as the fighter is stll phoning in a Cleave or Reaping Strike with his spiffy new greataxe when he isn't throwing down an encounter or daily exploit, you'll still be using your +5 magical wand of 'this one's got your name on it bubba' to negligently toss the occassional magic missle when a more potent spell isn't called for.
