Wait, what?

An airy mist quickly gathers around a greater ghoul.

No, that's not a sorcerer. That's my wizard of the same level (13), who is, apparently, a better sorcerer than my sorcerer. (?) (??) (?)

You trace an intricate sign that contorts in the air while forcefully invoking Disintegrate...

It doesn't account for everything, but the wizard has a better stat bonus (25 aur + 14 wis) vs the sorcerer (16 aur + 15 wis).

[The Ponzzz]

Yup, what Alex said. The stat difference is +8 for your CS, and the wizard has two more spells than the sorc which results in +1 more CS.

84 - 75 = 9

Close, but for elementalists CS only uses Aura bonus. Sorcerer circle averages aura and wisdom bonuses. 25vs(16+15)/2.

I hadn't really taken that into account, but I guess that contributes. I mean, I did try to set up the stats so they would be effective, but apparently there was minor fail.

Oh, well. It'll get better. I just thought it was funny.

I would also like to announce that I suck at math

According to my experience, wiizards are a LOT more fun. My experience being, oh, about 30 days' worth of playing one. :yes:

Sorcs are the shizzle... but not till later.
