Hello all.

I just hit 12th and am now overwhelmed by my spell options. I look at my
spell book and see alot of gems that have the same graphic and I haven't
learned them all yet.

Another reason this is a bit more difficult for me is that I am primarily
grouped with my wife who plays a wizard. I have found that my primary
function is to Soothe anything but the one we want on a group spawn, she
roots and blasts while I wait for Root to break and cast WTYH, Choke and
Languid Pace.

Offense / Defense: Abyssmal (have not been in melee long enough to get hit
very much).

Evocation:Is so bad that I don't think it is above a 1 (if it has even
gotten that high as I have cast it so little).

Conjuration: Whats that for? At 4th level, she had Root, and I had Fear
ready so she could root again. At 8th I rooted / feared and that was it.
Now at 12th I WTYH. No need for a pet. I have yet to cast my pet spell. And
now that I have Charm.... I'm not even sure I will ever use it.
Mezmerise uses conjuration I realize, but I have yet to have a need for it.
Color Flux has give me the time I need to get off a WTYH or fear as we have
been focusing on wandering mobs and 2 to 3 mob spawns.

I don't even have time to cast Tashan as the mobs die so fast. I did in the
begining, but it seemed a waste of mana very quickly.

What do you have as your standard spell line up at 12th?
Are you grouped with melee classes or other casters?
Should I take the time to summon a pet and Mez it for an hour to get my
skill up? Will I need it later in my career?

My divination and Alteration are maxed. I love illusions (div) and buff
everyone I see normally. =)

I know my wife and I will go far together with this combo, but I am worried
that I will lack the finess needed in a group of tanks when my guild goes on
raids and such. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks.
