    1. Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting
    2. Time Stop + Improved Alacrity
    3. Spell Trigger (2 Lower Resistance & Cone Of Cold or 3 Magic Missles).

    Abi's Wilting....o yeah...

    Unless there's been a change in the game that I don't know about, Horrid Wilting, Time Stop, and Spell Trigger are not HLAs. While I'd agree that those are pretty nice spells in SoA, Magic Missile is pretty worthless in ToB, as enemies will resist several of them. Time Stop + IA is really great if you've got the (cheesy) Robe of Vecna and the Amulet of Power.

    I fail to see how either of those items are cheesy.

    I never said the amulet of power is. Also, have you tried using Improved Alacrity with the Robe of Vecna? You can cast spells instantly and with no delay between them. That seems way overpowered to me.

    Honestly, no I haven't. If I need time to get multiple spells fired off, I have triggers, contingencies, etc easily available and they work equally as well as IA, if not faster.

    Well, I am probably a very anomalous one because I NEVER used either Time Stop or IA while playing the game.

    My faves have to be

    Abi Dazim's Horrid Wilting
    Comet (Or whatever it is... been playing FF games lately...)
    Dragon's Breath

    Nothing beats Abidazims... nothing.

    Ara
    (Edwin's long lost little sister...)

    timestop+improved alacrity(sp?) is too powerful IMO. especialy with a sorcerer (lots of damagin spells) decrease spellcasting time items it can release terrible damage all over the place(dragon's breath, comet, Abidazims, sunfire few fireballs) and Boom everybody lying dead on the floor. :cool:
    Edwin could easily solo whole place of firegiants without a scratch. :eek:
