Man, talk about tough decisions when your casters finally hit level 11. My Alchemist hit it last night in the swamp after I finished stealing from Croc.
What to chose: Summon Elemental? Toxic Cloud? Portals? Purify Air? I must have sat at the spell selection screen for 20 min trying to weigh the pros/cons of each choice.
The decision of portals were a moot one, as I had gotten lucky and found both Set Point and Return spell books before I made 11. So now my choice was really between Toxic Cloud/Purify Air/Summon Elemental.
In the end I chose Summon Elemental. I figured he would help more often in more battles than if I took Purify Air for the seldom times I fight casters (who aren't already silenced) and my party gets area effected.
I had the same tough choice with my Bishop when he had to choose between X-ray and Soul Shield. I took X-Ray and I am damn glad I did.
I know the battles become more magic oriented pretty soon, but for the time that I've had Summon and X-Ray, I'd have to say those have by far helped me more immediately than the others would have.
What did you guys choose when you had to make the choice?
