Just got to 30th circle and have three spell slots to fill. Not sure which way to go. Any suggestions?

You recall the spells you have learned from your training.

In the chapter entitled "Aether Manipulation," you have notes on the Ethereal Shield [es] spell.

In the chapter entitled "Electricity Manipulation," you have notes on the Arc Light [al], Tingle, Static Discharge [sd], and Gar Zeng [gz] spells.

In the chapter entitled "Water Manipulation," you have notes on the Frostbite [frb] spell.

In the chapter entitled "Earth Manipulation," you have notes on the Sure Footing [suf] and Fist of Stone [fos] spells.

In the chapter entitled "Air Manipulation," you have notes on the Zephyr, Swirling Winds [sw], and Y'ntrel Sechra [ys] spells.

In the chapter entitled "Analogous Patterns," you have notes on the Energy Bolt [bolt] and Ease Burden [ease] spells.

Right now I'm considering Ice Patch/Rimefang and another or AEL/ALA and another. Maybe MAB as my third. But I don't know if there's a "can't live without" spell in there somewhere that I should be more focused on.

I was considering AEG as well, but how does a capped armworn AEG compare to an armworn croc buckler?

I am similar level to you and had more or less the same question when I hit 30. I eventually went with IP and have found it to be very useful, not only a great disabler but it can, and does, do quite a lot of damage to mobs that are above my normal skill level offensively.

I do also(since picking it up a level or two afterwards) love AEL its a very nice spell to have.




Words Words Words .. in the end thats all it is

>Can you wear a medium AEG shield like how Clerics can wear a medium SoL?

>http://elanthipedia.com/wiki/Aegis_of_Granite

Elanthipedia (at the bottom, in tiny notes) says the largest armworn size is small. The SoL thing is more of a bygone effect that GMs haven't removed from the spell, than anything else to my knowledge. I expect if SoL was written today, it wouldn't have that function, since clerics are also armor tert. And since E3.0 is coming soon, eh.

While I never have anything witty to say, I currently lack anything venemous either.

So is a created AEG better than a good croc buckler?
>>No. SoL's shield bonus only applies to undead though.
Well, fine, but it still allows Clerics to arm wear a medium shield.
