Hopefully this finally eliminates an arcane being able to solo epic quests.
I find quite amusing by someone who has in his sign "ignorance is strenght" a pro-melee post. And not only a pro-melee one, but a "pro-Shade-style" melee one. Not that i have something against Shade, but his playstyle is emulated by many barbarians, who think that the cleric mana bar is part of their red bar.
Also, in pnp wizards are MORE over powered than in DDO. Many spells that we have in pnp here lacks, like the whole wish/miracle line, the various dweomers that emulate clerical spells, and so on.
