Haste has been returned to its previous versions. I really enjoyed the extra spell casting action, but even I'll admit that it made my sorcerer seriously outshine the group.Disintegrate did not really need to be changed, but it still sounds like a very potent spell.Hold spells are still useful, but now they truly are only good for a coup de gras attack. Multiple saves on hold spells will make it much harder to capture PC's or NPC's without beating on them alot first. I know for many the Hold spells were used mostly to coup de gras enemies, but we used them to capture enemies as well. We would cast a hold on a single enemy, kill his compadres, and then question the held individual. Will be real hard to continue this practice.I didn't use the buff spells all that much anyway. I never liked it when other players buffed themselves up for the duration of the game either. Ability buffs should be useful for only a combat or two, not all day. Heck, even a 3rd level cleric could buff their strength up for 3 hours.So far, I haven't seen any changes that will make arcane casters useless. I feel only a person who is not well-versed in playing a caster will be impacted. Personally, I have killed or eliminated enemies with illusion spells (no Phantasmal Killer or Wierd). Given the versatility of the mage, I don't think their ability to contribute effectively to combat or otherwise will be too greatly impacted.You are overreacting.</blockquote>
