Its one fomrula of combat dictating to them what spell will work well. Its very possible that your creating your own problem. If so getting ride the spell will not solve the problem because players will find another natrual counter for your "typical encounter" that works everytime and that will become your replacement problem spell or tactic. You will not cure players of tailoring to your play style by removing options that work over... and over ... and over again. If this is the case, It could also mean your making encounters on a formula because your bored of combat. Players will not pick the same solution every time when it doesn't work every time.Pretty much every single post I have read on this thread suggesting something is suggesting changes to the encounter. They are all suggestions to mix up the formula to get different results from the players.</blockquote>
