Question: What do those numbers mean? Example:

2. ..., Arcane Defense(2.34,53,44015)

2 is obviously the overall rank, and 2.34 is the average score, but what do the 53 and 44015 represent?

The 53 is the number of votes it received. No idea about the 44105.

I also voted a 9 since casting Chained GMW at level 18 basically covers every item in the party and then some (even with a party of 7). Then I am desperately waiting to cast my Chained Finger of Death with a 41ish fort save. Did not think about the Chained Targeted Dispel Magic use but I am definately going to keep that in mind.

Thank you for that lovely suggestion, and then there is that Chained Polymoprh Any Object which happens to be a WILL save ( I believe ) which will do nicley for my fish tank.

You're most welcome

However, please don't overlook the elegance and simplicity of a Chain GMW combined with a Chain Launch Bolt (only a 3rd level spell), or a Chain Battering Ram combined with a nearby Prismatic Wall or Otiluke's Dispelling Screen. Also when you're able a Chain Greater Dipel is also most desirable when you don't want to blow up all of the magic items with a Disjunction, or if your party is in melee.

Polymorph lines are great as well, but unfortunately I mostly play in campaigns that ban them so I don't give them much consideration.
