Fire bolt is my go-to Wizard cantrip. Read on for why.
Source Page 242 Player’s Handbook Page 90 Basic Rules v3.4 Classes that may use it Sorcerer Wizard Why is it good? It’s good because its base damage is 1d10 instead of 1d8 like Ray of Frost and the other damage cantrips that are 1d8 + something. Fire Bolt is 1d10 + nothing other than things might catch on fire. Many times, that extra 2 points of possible damage outweighs the extra effect tacked onto such spells like Ray of Frost.
