I level pretty slowly, and just recently picked up 650 before I'll return to the 100s for 130-140 prior to cap. I only played around with Aspect a bit over the weekend and am interested in hearing about the situations where some of you have found it most useful. I liked the TD pushdown on Web, especially to bring Griffins to the ground, so that's definitely a good use. I tried to get a sense for the Wall of Thorns benefit, but didn't necessarily play around with it long enough to tell. I'm not sure I like the 2 minute aspect duration followed by the 4 minute cooldown, but it's just something to get used to I guess.

So, what are your main uses of the spell, even if it's to NOT cast it? :)

Sword and board ranger and i never use it. I am sure there are situations that i should use 650 but with it having such little use i never keep it in my rotation of spells to use.

I run Porcupine nearly constantly, both for the blocking boost to 640 (which is amazing) as well as the Logic bonus, which helps with experience absorption. I use Owl to boost CS and TD as well as to gain back spirit quickly after dying (and if you're in CoL, it's good for that, too). Wolf (for Dex) or Lion (for Str) are both good AS boosters, depending on what you're hunting. Panther + 617 + SM + 2x hiding makes you nearly undetectable. Etc. It's a mana-intensive and situational spell, but very powerful. It takes effort to use it, though, given the durations and upkeep.

<Thanks for the replies all. Definitely a useful spell, however I likely won't use it too much at this level. Looking forward to some more experience however. :)>

Aside from the ones that are buffs you can stack up to 4 hours and forget, most spells at or above level 20 are of limited use until quite a few levels after you can cast them. Some will simply be because they cost so much mana (pretty much all the attack spells), but others require more lores to make use of them then you'll have (ex 325), have REALLY low durations (ex 140), or have some sort of dependency on level/spell ranks for their effectiveness (ex 730).

On the bright side, there's a couple like 225 that can be used as needed pretty much right out of the box (until NIR decide to review the spell circles they're in, anyway).
