Message: <blockquote data-quote="Victim" data-source="post: 578718" data-attributes="member: 78">Many wizard spells are more powerful and more interesting than cleric spells.  In the first 3 spell levels, wizards get shield, haste, fly, invis, knock, etc.  They have the full array of ability buffs and have level 2 invis counters.  Clerics are better at fighting, but shield of faith is inferior to shield, searing light is worse than wizard evocations, etc.  Even if the cleric uses domains to get some good wizard spells, they can't get all of them.  While cleric spells get more interesting at higher levels (flamestrike is equal to similar wizard attacks), wizards get their own cool tricks.While clerics get a few more spells than wizards, they also have other leeches - I mean teammates - sucking away their spells in the form of healing magic.I think clerics and wizards are about equal.  At least as long as the cleric isn't being completely selfish with his abilities.  EDIT:  Magic Stone is junk.  The Fire domain has such amazing offensive spells as burning hands, Icendiary Cloud, Wall of Fire, Fire Storm - which clerics get anyway.  The best spells in there are Fire Shield - which is much better for melee combatants than wizards and the Sun domain grants it sooner - and Elemental Swarm.</blockquote>
