Boys are wizards. Girls are witches. Problem solved. Ultimately the only real difference involves whether or not the staff has straw (or similar) bristles on the end.

Mine has a knob on the end.

He does in the movies, though, and that's one of his primary melee attacks in that AWFUL Lord of the Rings third person action game.

Yeah, but in the movies he also has a Wizard Wresting Federation throw-down with Saruman, so I try not to go there for any canon beyond 'Hey, Minas Tirith looks really pretty!'.

Death is part of my attack chain.

meh, there were cheaters like that before we got to meet any of the Midnight Squad. Faathim the Kind is a defender with... I think empathy, force fields and kinetics. That's even more..... cheatier.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Psht. Tolkien lost all rights to having an immutable "canon" when he retcon'd the Gollum scene in the Hobbit with a weak "oh, Bilbo lied about it" excuse.

(Also he was trying to create a mythology, and having minor details of a story change from one telling to another is perfectly normal in mythology.)

As far as I can tell, the powers he uses are "Rush Into Combat Before Everyone Is Ready", "Ignore Health Bar", and "Die Quickly."

That, and wizards aren't real and there's no actual rules. Unless they're KKK wizards, at which point let's not talk about that.
To be fair, you talk about withes and wizards, I think "HA! The wizard is screwed if anyone was doing the floors".

Soapy Lemon Water for the win.

That, and apparently brooms don't trigger draconian allergies, unlike wizards and/or their staves. Cause Fire-sneezes are killer on the epidermis.

He's very squishy too. He was alas following my Brute around, dying every fight and then saying "lolz. Rez or Sml ylw?".

My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

Amazing how I was always able to keep Dream Doctor alive when I ran through the Dark Astoria missions. In fact, in that one Cimerora mission (you know the one), it was always Imperious that died.

This just in, the Omega slot will let us chose a secondary primary.

Well one can dream ;P

And yet, as a level 50+, you can gain none of the powers for that new set and being the final incarnate slot, there are no slots left to put in those powers if you could get them in the first place

I've been reading him as an Illusion/Staff Dominator without Domination and a little Kin thrown in for NPC-Awesomeness. Probably because dominators are my favorite set.



and he's a Magician-Sorcerer-Wizard-Witch-Warlock-Casting-Conjurer-Priestly-Enchanter-Druidicious-Diviner-Necromantastic-Thaumaturge...

O_O [Say that five times fast.]

..at least in my book he is. Coolest wielder of the powers and energies that are beyond basic folks.

He's okay of you are playing a tank or defender, but otherwise he's dead in a second. The problem is the AI for companions in the DA missions is set to "aggressive". I think most people who have used the MA know that it's usually better to set mobs to "defensive".

I really should do something about this signature.

I was playing a corruptor and a mastermind.

I think this is also true for characters like Fusionette, Lady Jane and probably a few others.

I'm fairly sure that Lady Jaye has a default aggression setting of "Actively Seeking Death."
