Different styles indeed.
Your style is indeed interesting, and it led you very far. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

My playing style?
Well, most of the times i don't play solo, but with small parties of 4.

I use Clones 24/7. Mislead, Project Image and Simmy are all broken spells.

I rely on friendly, area-of-affect spells (with a penalty to saves, if possible) - Slow, Chaos, Death Spell, Abi Dalzim, Power Word : Blind and Dragon Breath.

I only pick the strongest kind of summons, and use them for distraction while my front liner(s) wreaks havoc and my Fighter/Thief joins in with a backstab.

I hardly plays with clerics - with BioWare's policy of "Hey! It's a goblin, why shouldn't he be carrying nine potion of superior health and a X of regeneration?!", priests are almost redundant. Druids are better, but Mages are better than them for my offensive style of play.

I, too, like to finish battles quickly - (Minor) Spell Sequencers, Spell Triggers, Timestops and Chain Contingeny are all wonderful spells.

I don't use most of the spell protection, only Spell Immunity and Mass Invisibility. Mass Invisibility + Spell Immunity : Divination rocks.

I ignore spell protections completely. There are two very effective alternatives:
1. I use Area spells until the enemy is dead.
2. I breach the enemy, and bash him to death.

I usually play with two Mages at least - one Sorcerer, and one X/Mage dual.

I love good disablers. Teleport Field (ignores MR, has no save) will make a joke out of any enemy with ranged capabilities.

Cheese is my last resort, of course. A clone with 2 scrolls of Protection from Magic will get you through the game in no time.

I NEVER cheat. Fake Talking and the like...

Well, that's about it... What do you think?
