I have been DMing the 3rd edition rules pretty much since the beginning. I have an 8th level wizard/3rd level bard as well as an 8th level cleric in the group who have the potential to do this. so far it has never been done! To be honest, as the DM I have never used it as well. In discussion with my players their response is usually something along the lines of "The best defense is a good offense". Nobody wishes to wait around to counter an opponents spell when they have a nice arsenal of their own which they can cast prior to the enemy (they have to ready an action and await their enemy to cast, etc.). The people I play with are all very experienced and we play what I would call a sensible game.
I understand their point and play my npc's by the same philosophy when the battle is in its height. I understand that it might be best suited if there were numerous npc's where as a sorcerer could stand in the rear preparing to counterspell the players spells.
I am just curious as to what experiences other players/DM's have had with this (if any).
