Most of my characters were Wizards, Warmages, Druids or some other type of primary caster.And I have to say that after playing some 4e I just can't go back to playing those 3.5 classes. Despite their awe-inspiring power at higher levels, the lower levels weren't very "magical". By comparison the 4e Wizard is extremely versatile. The idea of playing a low level 3.5 caster again (other than MAYBE a Warlock) is really unappealing. Too much of a low level Wizard's time in 3.5 was spent doing non-magical things because either 1) the resources had run out; or 2) resources needed to be "saved for later".I recently got invited to play in a friend's 3.5 game and started to roll up a Warmage. I got to the point of buying equipment and realized I would need the ubiquituos Light Crossbow for when my spells ran out and just crumpled up the character sheet and threw it away. The idea of playing a *BANG*BANG*BANG* now break out the crossbow-type character after playing 4e was just too frustrating. I rolled up a Fighter instead.</blockquote>
