Weird, in my experience, sorcerers are really really powerful.On my last server, I had on my team x3 of the toughest characters on the server, 2 clerics and my weapon master. On their team; 1 sorcerer. We went after this dude intelligently. Staggering one at a time so we all wouldn't get caught in "time-stop". So we went one at a time, got Time Stopped and Greater Missile stormed one at a time, while the next in line would rush out to try to get to the sorcerer. Rise and repeat. This dude had SEVEN time stops... pretty much infinite greater missile storms and managed to whittle all of us down to near death before teleporting to safety when he ran out of time stops. Three fully buffed high level powerful character absolutely punked by one sorcerer who spammed us with a total of 2 different spells. No strategy, no planning, no skill.. just spam super powerful spells that you don't even have to prepare or think about in advance.Maybe this server has fixed the spamability of those spells, but holy crap sorcerers are bloody powerful. Personally I hate the class and I think it robs soooo much of the classic wizard who had to hunt down magic tomes and study. Its almost like someone finally getting Shadowdancer and unlocking HiPs, and suddenly someone tosses a feat to every stealth character and now they can all get HiPs too. Too me, Sorcerer is "easy mode" wizard. Its like if you want to glimpse that super wizard power but don't want to have to bother with finding magic spells and preparing in advance.
