Wizard or Cipher?

[IrithylStarym]

Guys I am planning to play a spellcaster that stays ranged all the time. I want to be able to do awe inspiring stuff during battles:P

 

What would you suggest: Cipher or Wizard?

 

On one hand cipher can cast spells alternated with soul whip to gain focus, on the other the wizard can cast more spells without interruption.

wizard will have less spells without resting.

druid is apparently flat out better than wizard currently

 

I really hope Wizard gets some tweaks to be on par with druid, really dissappointing that my favourite RP class is so sub par atm.

For goodness' sake.

Yeah I am guessing many of us you played the wizard/mage from previous Infinity games were spoiled of the raw damage abilities of the class.  I still intend to roll a wizard as my main regardless.

Wizard seems to be more aoe destruction, while Cipher has a lot of single target heavy damage abilities and aoe disables

That pretty much the standard MO for a wizard class. Flinging fireballs and lightening bolts.  From one of the class previews I watched on youtube  the wizard class didn't seem gimped to me at all.
