Help me Choose my Caster Class

[SamOftheUels]

So, I normally opt for a Caster in RPGs -

 

So, Wizard, Druid or Cipher -

 

What are the pros and cons of each?

 

Ideally I'd like to top the damage charts, but other than that, what do people have most fun with??

 

I heard Wizards are slow starters but do get better..

 

How much is a hinderance to damage potential early on with the per rest spells or druid and wizard, as opposed to Ciphers pretty much bieng able to cast spells at the same rate in both small and large scale skirmishes??

 

How actually viable is a melee cipher opposed to a ranged one??

 

Thanks for any and all help -

 

I'm terribad at making such desicions.
