I don't know if 'overused' is exactly the right word, more "standard operating procedure".There are just alot of spells like that on these higher level parties.   I don't have the problem as my GM in my WLD game yet, because my players are still low.  But, I'm a player in another game at higher levels, and I doubt there is a single person in that group that has less than 4 active spells on them at any one time, and that's before we even get into combat.Using haste, and other great buffing spells is a legitimate tactic, and I don't know if you really want to spend any more time trying to "mitigate" it than you do any other tactic.  The best thing to do is just to be AWARE of it, as well as any other standard operating procedures your group has.If a fight looks like it's going to be a cakewalk (or impossible) because of their SOP's, you can think about adjusting it.You might also just think about having your NPC's use similar tactics.  Take away some of their silly/worthless spells and give them buffs as well, or give them counters to the most popular buffs.  Their's no reason, in most cases, to assume the NPC's aren't just as smart and experienced at combat strategies as their PC counterparts.</blockquote>
