[QUOTE="Ashkelon, post: 6661237, member: 6774887"] A few things to note: 1. You can bypass resistance to your elemental damage spells with a single feat. 2. If you are trying to deal damage as a spellcaster, you are doing something wrong. AoE spells are good for clearing away mooks, but against single targets or powerful enemies, spells like hold person/monster, polymorph, walls, forcecage, banishment, contagion, reverse gravity, hideous laughter, etc are far more powerful. 3. The paladin and barbarian are both limited to primarily melee combat, as a result, they have many "wasted" rounds in high level combat where many enemies are twice as fast as them and have much better mobility due to flight, teleportation, etc. A smart DM can make it so melee PCs are almost never able to get into combat without assistance from magic (such as flight or haste). 4. You rarely need to use concentration for defensive buffs. It is much better to use it on spells that completely disable enemies. [/QUOTE]
