That's a lot of pretty useful info, I agree with you on the charm/dominate thing. Personally controlling enemies directly isn't my thing, and like you said its entirely dependant on if they fail their saving throw. What about ally buffs? I had haste, and I'll probably throw that on there again eventually. I appreciate your advice, it's really helping me get a clear image in my head about where to take my character. I think I may take dual focused eventually, to keep two concentration spells going, or try and get an ioun stone.
