Quick correction -

I probably rubbed some feathers the wrong way by labelling a few spells as useless and naming this the "Useless spells" thread (although that was meant as somewhat of an attention-getting tag). Note that I qualified that statement in the first post by saying "mostly useless" or of much less utility than other spells of the same level.

Some further notes... I should probably CMA even more by saying that the spells I'm cutting down may be much improved if playing with fewer characters. For instance, I bet Burning Hands is a lot easier and better to use than MM when playing solo.

Lightning Bolt - just a thought, maybe this is how pritchke uses it...
Using an invisible (preferably Improved I) character to scout out the enemy, drink potion of electrical resistance (or whatever it's called), and purposely casting LB (or more than one) in tight spaces. I imagine this spell is better with fewer (and less vulnerable) characters available to hit. I think I'd still prefer the predictability of Fireball and Skull Trap, though.

Question on Potions of Insulation (50% elec resistance). Do you get 100% resistance if you drink two? If so, maybe I should use them instead of selling them [img]smile.gif[/img]
