Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
Warmage is only better if you can get into 10/10 Rainbow Servant. Otherwise, Wu Jen.

Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
Wizard or Sorcerer, actually. Warmage's damage bonus does not compensate for their poor spell list, and Wu-Jens are very poorly supported.
Actually, the best Blaster outright is either the Artificer or the Spell to Power Erudite. You can't really beat their novas...

Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
1: Bards are very powerful if played right (they got a lot of love from splats).
2: Duskblades can't channel spells into arrows. That requires a different class entirely.
3: Your Duskblade's player is doing it wrong, though he can still benefit from a Dragonfire Bard.

Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
Sorcerer definitely has more potential as a blaster than either warmage or wu jen. Ask if he'd consider a colorful backstory and a vivid character persona as acceptably clever.
My last blaster sorcerer was a githyanki plainswalker who had been everywhere, seen everything, and was bored with it all. He wore pajamas and slippers on adventures, because he really couldn't be bothered to get dressed just to adventure on the boring old prime material, and was constantly pulling anachronistic devices he'd acquired on his travels out of his handy haversack, like Marlboro cigarettes, an iphone ("dammit, it still says no signal!", packages of marshmellows, and such.
Which is to say, playing a sorcerer doesn't make you uncreative or dull.Subclasses for 5E: magus of blades, shadowcraft assassin, spellthief, void disciple

Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
Snake Darts deal Con damage: you can kill things easily that way. Remember you get 2 darts per spells: Each dart deals unerrantly 3d6 damage. Then each dart causes poison of 1d6 Con damage (1 minute later as well) if fail fort save.
Best Wu Jen spell: one thing Wizards can't imitate.

Number one: On the subject of the Duskblade, he's imbuing his bow, which it was ruled as an "Enchantment" he casts on it every round, then the arrow is thus imbued with flesh to ice. He also took a feat that lets him affect creatures larger than medium as a medium creature for the sake of spells, grapple, ect.
Number two: What about Jester from Dragon Magazine Compendium? Isn't it a good class for Inspiring allies while debuffing foes?
Number three: I like Wu Jen over wizard and Warmage over sorcerer. Wizard/Sorcerer in our campaigns are cliches.
Number four: I say bard is not a real class because either they are inspire-nazis, sorcerer wannabes, or are sitting with their thumbs up their bum. Not to mention bards in our campaigns die rather frequently, due to our DM's thought that bard is "broken," which I say the opposite. If it had a good analoge for its LOST SPELLCASTER LEVELS, then it'd be worth it to me (though I adore Master of Masks from Complete Scoundrel and can find joy in Sublime Chord: the staple PrC for any bard)

Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
dragon shaman
wait, hear me out
though its not spelllobbing blasting, it is a decent area damage affect on a continual basis with some nice auras and enough hp, and through 1 of the auras hp regen, to have the cleric not need to worry about healing and just tank away.Last edited by Escheton; 2010-03-25 at 08:22 AM.

Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
Warmage. Use the PH2 Eclectic Learning ACF to cover the gaps.
You know why? 'Cuz the rest of you have taken this batmannery way too far. Being a pure blast caster is acceptable and will only fall short in the most optimized of campaigns. And I doubt yours is that.

Re: Wu Jen or Warmage Blaster? <3.5>
*Hisses at the mention of the infamous Batman Warmage*
We habe things like a Warforged Fighter, Warforged Monk, and a Human Cleric/Prestige Paladin/Radiant Servant of Pelor/Shadowstriker (Lot of DM negotiation). So I'd assume its non-optimized. Christ, we have an Incubus Assassin!
