I've learned: to make a specialist more effective, buff him, not yourself. The fighters are able to use combat maneuvers that a cleric will never learn. Fighting tactical (not just having a good buffed Strength and high Hitpoints) and being able to make moves on the battle map, that the enemies couldn't do, always helped my groups to get their asses out of problems (can you say Whirlwind Attack or Greater Cleave?).So, is a MT buffing himself all the time really the best way to play him? I think no. And it's no fun either, it has the taste of munchkinism.I've seen a couple of people giving examples of how much the MT can buff up himself. Now, maybe it's the most effective way to make the MT look extremely good (and extremely overpowered). But i think using the spells like this doesn't help the TEAM much. And usually the best team wins the hardest fights.I think we all should think twice about those examples and playtests people present us in messageboards. I think the MT is balanced and a worthwhile addition to a group low of either arcane or divine magic, when he is played in the BEST way, which means helping the team.</blockquote>
