I saw the thread on "Go-to spells for clerics at higher levels", http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?555430-Go-to-spells-for-clerics-at-higher-levels and was really surprised by the very limited selection, and the comments about upcast spells. I haven't played much 5e at high level, so was wondering if this is universal across casting classes - if so it makes split builds (say 8 cleric/8 druid, or 8 bard/8 sorcerer much more interesting as practical designs, rather than the 1-2 level dips I've generally used.
So I thought I'd asked the wider question - What actually gets used from the higher level spells, and what key low level spells end up upcast? I'm looking for the go-to spells from each class. I've tried to define a format to make things clear, and if I get enough responses I'll do a consolidated table here - the example entries are some theory crafting for my Bard, so I'll delete them when I get actual data
Class: [ Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard ]
Spell Level
Con Spell
Non-Conc spell
Upcast Conc
Upcast Non-Conc
5
Animate Objects
Cone of Cold (MS)
6
True Seeing
Chain Lightning (MS)
Major Image (non conc at this level)
7
8
Glibness
Mind Blank
9
Foresight
Wish (anyspell...cheap Hero's feast?)
