    Default PSA Grease does not waste a valuable spell slot

    Hi,
    I just wanted to let aspiring Sorcs of levels 1-20 know, that the Spell Grease (Grease). does not indeed take up a spot better used for DPS spells.

    I don't want to be rude and point out how annoying it is during a Tempest run when neither Sorc has it, and when questioned, one replies that it is a waste of a Spell slot for a Sorc, so I won't.

    I also won't point out how many of your Sorc SP's could -perhaps- be put to better use than you casting Lightning Bolts at the drow/giant ( I know I know, you threw a polar ray or two as well, I don't want to suggest you're a one trick pony)


    Seriously though, 2 Sorcs neither carries Grease. Is this a new thing? is my Grease (and forgive me, extend) carrying Sorc breaking some new optimal design build? Am I missing out on some better than grease level 1 DPS spell?

    This looks exceedingly familiar.

    You have run into people that refuse to carry grease? It really is getting out of hand. I know those metal dogs can try to pick up the slack, but there is no substitute to having a real person decide when and where to cast grease.

    I am actually not sure whether or not you guys are serious lol. That being said, my wizard carries grease all the time lol.

    Edit: nothing compares to greasing the fire trap of tempest spine lol... except maybe greasing the boss lol.

    I am getting so sick of the melees out there who want me to give them every single buff there is!! Hello, grease comes on a clickie. They are easy to get, my kensai has several of them in fact. They are a well known party buff and by the time you are running Tempest Spine you should have learned how to be self-sufficient enough and carry at least one grease clicky. They work just as well as the spell I bet, so please stop telling my sorcerer to cast it on the party when you can just do it yourself. /end rant.

    Fortunately, ALL of my melees carry grease clickies. Some even have multiples. Plus, the u9 pass upgraded clicky grease to last 21 seconds instead of ~10, so we can have moar grease!

    So is casting Featherfall (so people *think* they are covered without an item), then dispelling people as they make the first jump.
    I don't have a zerging problem.

    I'm zerging. That's YOUR problem.

    Grease is cool, but sleet storm is better. It lets the rogues do sneak attacks!

    don't forget to put a globe of invulnerability on top, for those party ****ers with freedom of movement

    Slight confusion here. Is your point that haste is not valuable? That PSA's are annoying? Please enlighten me.

    Grease is fun..
    No need to take up a spell slot with it though..
    Just invite along any warforged and make them really nervous.

    Grease is an extremely valuable party buff.
