I'd wouldn't grab every single spell in the Bite of the Were-X line, but I would definitely have a few of them. It grows old like its lesser version, but I still love it. I'm a big fan of Greater Mirror Image (4th, PHB2) if only because of the immediate action. since you probably have less than full BaB as a gish. You are either making 1 attack anyways, in which case the lost iterative don't matter, or you are full rounding, in which case the multiattack sequence will be much more accurate than your iteratives. I don't understand why you think more attacks isn't good. The enchantment bonuses to your stats are very considerable, far outstripping what items would give you. At level 10, if you take a single blow, then you effectively have as much extra health as +2 con.īite of X are great buffs. So that's where I'm grabbing spells from)DR 10 won't make you invicible by nay means, but it can easily add up to a lot of extra health. (To me, gishes are arcane only, never divine. I know I saw a few paladin spells in there. I'll need to go through it line by line picking sorc/wiz spells out of the list. So that's where I'm grabbing spells from) Though 15 hits and 10 minutes/level means it should last at least 2 fights depending on party tactics. So most enemies (in my limited experience at that level) just blow right through it. DR 10/adamant? As a gish, that'll probably come around level 9 or 10. Rather than trying to go around or over them. I think the rationale behind disintegrate was that you could use it to rid of obstacles like walls of force or several cubic feet of wall at once.
