The party already has an uber DPS barbarian and even with the buffs I'm not sure I could catch him. Plus it's easily dispelled. Quickened is nice for obvious reasons. Firing off in response to spellcasting (quickened silence next to caster), quickened heals + normal heals for extreme recovery. Then there's chain spell. I have little experience with this one, but it seems like it could be really great. Chaining buffs for the whole party, chaining no-save debuffs on the enemies, or chaining utility like Shatter. Seems very flexible. Thoughts?

Examples are all the cure/inflict spells (especially if you get augment healing) and from the builder books ring of blades, nimbus of light, divine insight and energy vortex.
