Level 2 Buff Spell

[prospero977]

Hello all,
I'm a level 7 sorc and I have to say I enjoy buffing out the party.
(Right now DPS seems fairly average due to the fact that full parties
pretty much throttle their way through some pretty tough crowds.)

Anyway, at level 7 last night I was asked to pick one level 2 spell and one level 3 spell.
I debated for a while on the level 2 spell and decided on Cat's Grace because I figured
it would complement haste/displace/blur well.

Do you think the melee types will benefit from the +4 dex stat enough to justify keeping it?

Thanks,
Pros

As a sorcerer, I would say no, web or scorching ray are a better choice in my opinion.

or if you really prefer buffing: resist energy

Web, by far, is your best choice at L2 in most circumstances. It's a great spell, and one that remains great even at end-game content. Cat's Grace and other similar spells are offered by house P, available as cheap potions, and are superceeded by items once you hit level 9 or so.

Scorching ray, as mentioned, is a nice spell as well - at level 7 you'd get two rays - but it sounds as if you want to play more of a supporting role. In a party, web is probably the more efficient choice most times anyways. Your tanks will love you for it.

Yes, I already run with web and it's pretty much awesome once you learn to target with it.
I'll go ahead and give the scorching ray a try.

Thanks for the head up.

Depends on your group. However, cats grace wont stack with item bonuses and you are approaching the level where all that desire dex have at least a +4 item.
