Air and Water Sorc Spells

I'm leveling a sorcerer based on a post here for an air and water savant build. The build does not give suggested spells. I was wondering what would be some good ones?

I'm leveling a sorcerer based on a post here for an air and water savant build. The build does not give suggested spells. I was wondering what would be some good ones?

first, if you are going for damage, consider air/fire

second, just some good ones - cone of cold, niacs and eldars (dots), ottoliuks sphere

those are decent damage ones.

however that is not just what casters are about. you can go enchant with charms, and holds or you can go necro with fingers and wails.

perhaps you could link the build and we could give you more suggestions?

there are pros and cons to each spell i listed

from earlier in the thread:

Magic Missile, Nightshield, Jump, Feather Fall
Scorching Ray, Web, Knock, Gust of Wind
Displacement, Lightning Bolt, Haste, Chain Missiles
Wall of Fire, Dimension Door, Force Missiles, Crushing Despair
Ball Lightning, Eladar's Electric Surge, Protection from Elements, Mind Fog
Chain Lightning, Disintegrate, Greater Dispel Magic
Delayed Blast Fireball, Otto's Sphere of Dancing, Prismatic Spray
Otto's Irresistible Dance, Incendiary Cloud
Meteor Swarm

if you are still going air/ice:

level 1 doesnt change
level 2 :scorching ray can go for several things - resist energy, glitterdust for the lord of rage pack, snowball swarm, electric loop
level 3: no change needed
level 4: ice storm for wall of fire. u trade damage for cc.
level 5: change pro elements for niacs, i also like cone of cold, so prob mindfog for coc
level 6: no real changes, would get rid of dispel for ottoluicks sphere. but its prob overkill to have that many aoes
level 7: dbf goes to finger. in these case i say finger is more for a damage spell that has a chance to kill
level 8: cloud you can keep as a cc, but powerword stun and polar ray are better
level 9: wail.

if you go pure you get one more 8th and 2 more 9th
i would go greater shout for cc. on 8th polar ray and ottos dance
for your 9th i would go wail, mass hold and pwk

Spells I use:

Hypnotism, Protection from Evil, Jump, Sonic Blast (Nightshield if you don't take Shield spell from EK)
Glitterdust, Gust of Wind, Knock, Web
Displacement, Frost Lance, Halt Undead, Lightning Bolt,
Crushing Despair, Dimension Door, Ice Storm, Phantasmal Killer (Force Missiles or Solid Fog if you can't obtain a decent DC)
Ball Lightning, Eladar's Electric Surge, Niac's Biting Cold, Prismatic Ray (Cone of Cold if you prefer)
Chain Lightning, Circle of Death, Undeath to Death (Otiluke's Freezing Sphere)
Finger of Death, Otto's Sphere of Dancing, Prismatic Spray
Greater Shout, Otto's Irresistible Dance, Sunburst (Polar Ray)
Energy Drain, Hold Monster, Mass, Wail of the Banshee

Ravenloft has a decent number of undead that are classed as mindless so Halt Undead doesn't break on damage.
Also, a lot of light fearing undead that Sunburst will act like a death spell to them. though you will not have this spell for level 10-12 its still nice to have to blind monsters.
