Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brisk-sg" data-source="post: 1693137" data-attributes="member: 5037">I will likey be avoiding Dispel Magic because my Caster level is 3 levels below the other casters in our party, who handle most of the dispelling that is needed.  I agree that Evard's Black Tentacles and Wall of Force would be good choices as they are usefull and scale well at higher levels. I wasn't suckered into Archmage simply because of spell-like abilities Sledged.  As the game has evolved and we are getting into the meat of the campaign, my ideas for what to take have changed.  Initially I was planning on taking Arcane Reach, Mastery of Elements, and Mastery of Shaping, and only one Spell-like Ability used on a 9th level spell (cost one 5th and one 9th lvl slot).  But since I don't use too much in the way of artillery at this point, Mastery of Elements wont be as usefull, and Arcane Reach doesn't have the range I need for the scale of our battles.   We are only using the CORE 3.5 books, so I cant use the PGtF, and I have not looked at that book yet so I am not sure what is in there.  The two greater spell focus's that I took are way more valuable then Silent and Still spell to me.  You are right, I could just take Quicken spell and memorize quickened versions... which would give me more flexibility.  But to be honest my character has a ton of extra spells for utility due to being a Mystic Thurge.  I figure I might as well expend a 5th lvl spell slot and a higher level spell slot to get the equivilent of 2 of the higher level spell slots.  And I figure I might as well get 6 quickened spell-like abilities at the cost of 3 5th lvl slots and 3 higher then 5th level slots.  That will give me 6 rounds of two spells per round.</blockquote>
