What kind of Fire shield scrolls are you talking about? The house K ones last for less than 2 Minutes, iirc. That's a bit too short for my taste. Nevertheless, the advice to scroll certain spells is a solid one. The Level 4 Spell list is edited.
I will probably solo a lot, as I am playing this toon on Wayfinder, also known as Nogroupfinder.
New Spell list:
Level 1: Jump, Burning Hands (replace by Expedious Retreat at 6), Nightshield, RLD (replace by Magic Missles at 5ish)
Level 2: Melf's, RMD (replace by Blur at 7ish), Invisibilty, Resist Energy
Level 3: Fireball (replace by Rage at 15), Haste, Suggestion (replacable later on), Displacement
Level 4:Wall of Fire, Stoneskin, Ddoor, Fire Shield
Level 5: Eladar's Electric Surge, Cloudkill, Ball Lightning, Niacs Biting Cold
Level 6: Reconstruct, Desintegrate, Mass Suggestion
Level 7: DBF, FoD, Disco Ball
Level 8: Black Dragon Bolt, ???
Level 9: Wail, Energy Drain, ???
tbh, this rather looks like Electric is a second Element, rather than Acid. I don't mind that, actually.
Ya, I'm talking about those scrolls. They last for about a min and a half, which is enough to get me through any fight (while leveling) that I need them for. At cap when running things like ev6 you want the spell, but there isn't that much of a difference when leveling. Just make sure that instead of putting just the scrolls themselves on your hotbar and having to pick which version you want everytime, you put the fire and ice picks directly onto your hotbar. Makes it a lot easeir to recast.
For general purpose quests, I pick up the protection from energy scrolls and cast those.
I also picked up a stack of ice storm scrolls, just so I have some kind of area effect spell to pull aggro from fire immune creatures. (Mainly for Kobold runs in the reavers refuge)
For level 8 and 9 spells, it's going to depend on which content you run at end game.
Otto's irresistable dance is pretty much a staple on my casters. Other's get swapped in and out depending on what's needed for epic support.
