You can already attest that I really like the former, but I'm just getting started with the later. I've done plenty of research on how to make a really good Sorceror, though! That quickly became an absolute boon to play! Nothing survives a Quickened Empowered Intensified Maximized Dazing Fireball (and the follow up, since Quickening is awesome like that) !
It's one of the reasons I find myself slowly moving away from the Pathfinder RPG as my go-to system (despite having stuck with it since the Alpha).
Well... that and prep time.
It's increasingly difficult to balance plot and world-building with the fact that at higher levels, players can pretty much do whatever the heck they want (and that adventures start looking less like dungeon crawls and more like commando raids.) Plus, keeping encounter balance and my players entertained are difficult for both my players and myself when a properly specced Wizard can pretty much solo an adventure on their own.
Seriously, one of my players sent me this clip after a particular fight where the pre-fight buffing list was frustratingly longer than the fight itself.
