Now tell me again how many sorc's can fit in Spell Pen feats?
I can hear you whineing now "Oh but my sorc never fails a spell pen checks, and he dont have spell pen feats".
Bull shit. Run EE. Go find an epic drow.
More whining "Oh but your wizard can't DPS bosses like my Sorc can! You will run out of SP on your wizard"
Bull shit again.
3 past life wiz gives passive spell pen checks.
Also, PWK does not have a save on mobs. I have a source.

On the same note, PWS (power word stun) and PWB (power word blind) work the same way.
And also - you can just use direct damage against spell resistant mobs. Most elemental spells do not have an SR check.
When my caster was in her sorc life, I played like a wizard: instakill spells everywhere with elemental SLA backup. Max empower PL: wiz, PL:barb, spell pen, SF:necro, GSF: necro, and went elf for the spell pen off elven arcanum. That's 7 feats, and I could cc the drow in EE eveningstar chain.
Then I TRed into monk. It was a sad, sad day.
