It was simply more effective to buff summoned creatures and other party members than to buff only herself.Earlier in a discussion like this, someone said it is more effective to cast a single Haste than several fireballs. Well, that is true if the DM goes easy on you. Here, you generally need Haste AND Fireball to finish a tough fight. But comparing the two, I agree Haste mostly is better.What I find really affects the balance between casters and non-casters is the amount of magic items - warrior types benefit more from theirs, so many items shift the balance their way. We generally play rather high-magic games with lots of magic items, so this may account for our experiences. If the fighter has Wings of Flying and Necklace of Missiles, the wizard suddenly seems a lot less privileged.</blockquote>
