So it’s either a damage caster way, or shapeshifter way. Both are good (didn’t play spore). The class is versatile, rich from RP perspective, has very strong “vibes”.

Wanna know disappointment? Try arcane trickster, Eldritch knight, champion, wild magic sorcerer etc.

I can't disagree on arcane trickster or champion. Although champion was a disappointment in tabletop as well. I actually think eldritch knight and wild magic sorc are fine. Mostly the same as it was in tabletop. What issues do you have with those two?
