What spells?

[rapt]

I just hit lvl 11 and OMW to 13 and am wondering what spells should I have ready to cast? I primarily heal at this point but still there is alot of spells to choose from and it's nice to have a good damage spell just in case. I made sure to get blade barrier though since I hear so much about it. Would appreciate your advice.

For offensive spells, I use blade barrier, and comet fall the most.

Others to consider as you level up

Destruction
Banishment - has it uses on some stuff
Greater command
Hold person
sonic blast

I just got to level 17 so not sure about implosion and energy drain, most parties I am in just need the heal and mass heal. So I have not had a chance to try it out yet.

Just hit 11, eh?

I'd be looking at carrying Heal, Cure Moderate Mass*, and Blade Barrier, but not being opposed to swapping Blade Barrier out. If you're looking at undead-heavy quests, there's a level 6 mass-insta kill for undead; in Vale there's a great use for Banishment, another mass-insta kill for extraplanar creatures. Harm is nice when you need to heal a Pale Master (uncommon, but happens) but is not worth a 100% slot at the moment. I would always carry Heal and Cure Moderate Mass; one is *mandatory, the other almost mandatory.

Level 5 spells are slightly easier. I'd consider the new Divine Punishment spell, even without any points in the smiting line. It's just too good of damage to give up, especially since you gain one caster level on it now bonus from Radiant Servant and an additional bonus caster level in one level with Radiant Servant II (which you should probably get at level 12); putting points in the smiting line in addition to the healing line will boost the spell, but it's a difficult AP management task, as both lines, plus Radiant Servant with +3 Wisdom enhancements leaves you with 8 AP, out of the 80 starting AP for level 20. You use 2 on capstone then, leaving you with 6 AP, at level 20. Very difficult multitask to accomplish, and not really advised at your level. If you want to put points there, start with maxing healing then add to smiting when possible.
Anyway, back to L5 spells. There's not too much here, only Cure Light Mass is mandatory. I use True Seeing, Stalwart Pact, and the Divine Punishment a lot. Actually forget my other two L5 spells, but you'll figure out what's good and what's not quickly enough. For now, though, Protection from Elements is good. It's less SP for two or more elements on one person. Still keep Protection from Element (L3 spell) prepped for single-element protections.
Level 4 and below are not as commonly used now. Level 4 should be buffs, mass if possible, but including Divine Power. This gives +6 enhancement boost to Strength, which you may already have, but it also raises your BAB to that of a fighter of your level. Handy for extra meleeing to-hit, should you melee. Recitation is the only other buff I'd really like a Cleric to carry at that level, for the boosts it gives. Prayer at level 3 is like one of your level 1 spells, but it's an AoE with a *slightly* shorter duration (24 seconds, extended, at cap with Radiant Servant II), and there isn't much under l3 I'd want besides Resist Energy. At level 11 it's 30 ignorable damage from fire, ice, electric, acid, or sonic, when buffed, and damage mitigation is good.

There's not as much that goes into Cleric spells as what goes into Favored Soul spells, or for that matter any other caster. Buffs and heals are main, Damage/CC should be secondary.
