Buffing before a known fight isn't good playing unless you're on a reload and just want to get it over with. It takes the fun out of things. Think about if you were the character. What would you do in the daily routine? Certain spells like stoneskin should be kept on at all times when wandering. They last a long time. Cleric, druid, and ranger summons last a while. Simply have one follow you around to scout ahead. I used to keep a fire elemental on hand all the time for this reason. Bless, defensive harmony, etc. should all be cast in the fight to simulate real combat.

You must be a much better player than I am. When I walk into a high level battle for the first time I usually get slaughtered. I felt good when it only took me three times to kill Firkkrag. Also I don't like to ressurrect npcs. That feels to unreal to me, so if somebody goes down I feel I've lost. I'll usually play it out to learn how to beat the opponent when I reload and start again. If I get through a tough one and lose one of my people I'll raise them but I don't feel like I beat it.

Maybe I'll try just balls out like you say. I do have two RoR. (guess I'll be looking at the hand soon.)
