Bladesinger?
Maybe I am late to the party, but does Wizard really need a Bladesinger subclass?

This sounds so much like a Bard variant....

It's as much a Bard variant as a Warlock is...

It's more akin to an Eldritch Knight, but instead of being a fighter with high intelligence, it’s a wizard with a focus on their melee weapon.
Much more interesting, imo, and I’m looking forward to the drop of P8.

As someone who has played it at the table, it is more akin to an eldritch knight, but with the wizard's full spell options and spell slot progression. They can attack with cantrips and get high AC. Almost like a front-line Wizard.

It's also an excellent 2 level dip for an EK.

Yeah, it might make the wizard maybe finally useful.

Nobody needs any class.

If you don't like the class, don't use it.

I rarely play Clerics and have never used a Monk.

A lot of people talking about EK and I scoff my nose at that. However I am really looking forward to wizard getting blade singer because I might finally unbench Gale.

Everyone has their own preferences

theres no class that would make me use gale... for me, the only use for gale is his necrotic aura, thats it :steammocking:

I don't think Larian Studios design new subclasses based on "Need". I think its more "I really want to make this, this sounds cool!" so they do. And Bladesinger is one of the most popular Wizard Subclasses.

Lol. My best way to deal with Gale is to leave him in the unstable portal. If I want a wizard in my party, I will use a much less annoying char.

But on topic, I have zero interest in this sub class. If I want a melee caster, I will stick with a cleric or EK.
