Class and Level Geekery XIX - Nobody Cares about that Stuff Anymore

[Peelee]

And yet, Durkon not having the needed spells prepared (including things like "no Dispel Magic") was sort of a running gag, or at least plot point, for a while.

Point is that for a long time, Durkon did not use a lot of the most potent spells at his disposal. Thor's Lightning and Thor's Might and healing spells are still pretty powerful, but buffs and debuffs were far less used until... his fight with Malack, I'd say.

Sure, but when you have the entire class spell list at your disposal and can change your spells on a daily basis, I'm hesitant to call his build unoptimized (or, at least, less optimized than Elan). His day-to-day spell selection? Sure. The overall build? Don't see much evidence of that yet.
