You see the Spellcaster as my current Avatar.
Drows have crossbow profession. I guess that played its part as well.
And yeah I invested alot in dex just for inniative and evasion reasons.
At this point in time I feel that nothing can beat the Magic Missles.
You are right with groundhitting but same holds true for throwing something that can explode.
And there is ALOT of stuff in this game we can pick up on the way and just throw instead.
What I hope from a Spellcaster is to be able to inflict some kind of damage.
The fireballs is nice and cute and the Iceray makes enemys slip and fall very often, but is that all?
I feel the fact that Wizards are ranged is factored in their current power. Imagine having just the right distance to always attack and just back off from a Melee enemy.
Imagine the whole group fighting like that.
Cheesing is very ez at this point.
But if I want to make a stand with my group and my spells do just nothing, it just feels very bad.
" Hold that person in place. Or make it sleep. Or... brainwash it. "
Ah no it failed.
And now the Wizard did nothing for a whole round.
And someone has to Tank the dmg from this one enemy the Wizard couldnt keep busy.
" You had one job, guy in the robe. One job! "
Wizards are supposed to be impressive people in the Forgotten Realms.
Not so much in this Demo though.
