[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 4659459, member: 9789"] And I still think it's all dependent on whether or not you took Flaming Sphere as your level 1 daily (and Stinking Cloud as your level 5, if you made it that far). One other thought that just occurred to me: I keep wondering why things like "hitting your own party members" keeps coming up, as I've never found this to be a problem. So I'm thinking, maybe another thing that can negatively impact someone's impression of a wizard is the old "gotta save 'em" mentality in regard to powers (perhaps brought on from playing a 3.5 wizard where you DID have to save 'em?). More specifically: if you blow your encounter and daily powers in the first round or two, you have a very high chance of a) not hitting your allies, and b) feeling extremely powerful as you turn the tide of battle before it even begins. If you save up your stuff, then you're more likely to have a harder time not hitting your buddies who are engaging the enemies, and your powers aren't going to do as much. For those who dislike wizards: do your wizard experiences typically involve people blowing all their big shots in the first round, or do they hold back most of the time? [/QUOTE]
