[QUOTE="Rofel Wodring, post: 7274052, member: 6873189"] When I need to throw down and lay down some additional DPR when I don't think the martials will really be able to help, I usually use spells like Contingency -> Melf's Minute Meteors, Bigby's Giant Hand, Animate Objects, Storm Sphere, Conjure Elemental, Flaming Sphere back in the day (though it's fallen off bigly), and even upcasted Fireball. Conjure Elemental is my favorite, since it often lasts me two or even three combats and Earth/Air Elementals are useful between combats. I've just been using those elementals, but I'm hoping to use a Galeb Duhr with a couple of boulders from my Bag of Holding in my game Saturday. Haste and Greater Invisibility are there for spell slot efficiency, not for 'we need DPR and we need it NOW'. I have a Flametongue shortsword and am level 13 right now, so that's only worth an additional 3d6+4 damage -- about the same a Melf's Minute Meteors for damage in Haste's case. This might change if I ever get Tenser's Transformation and I decide to let my Familiar have one of my attunement slots for my Ring of Spellstoring. Then I could have, with that spell and a Tressym Haste, an attack routine next level of 11d6 + 8d12 + 36, or 138.83 DPR assuming critical hits (quite plausible since Tenser's Transformation gives advantage on all attacks). It occurs to me that I might have to really redo a lot of my 'retire your melee buttkicker assumptions as you gain levels' assumptions in my guide due to that blasted spell, needless to say. I'm not a big fan of Tenser's Transformation balance-wise, let me say. [/QUOTE]
