I would like everyone's favorite arcane spells without a somatic component (helpful for warrior-mages), mine is true strike.

Personally, I find no somatic component spells most useful if you ever find yourself grappled. And the most useful for that are teleport and greater teleport.

I think the wish spells also don't have a somatic component and good point on the grappling Dex.

And don't forget about being held by hold person.

Power word stun/blind/kill, if I remember correctly.
Of course, with the still spell feat you can remove the somatic component from any spell you want.

A few more useful ones I found-Blur/displacement, darkness, Mordenkainen's disjunction, Otto's irresistable dance, shout, tounges, wail of the banshee, prismatic sphere.

Feather Fall and Dimension Door are two more interesting ones. (Especially unexpected is the tactic of using Dimension Door to transport yourself straight up in the air, then using Feather Fall to suspend yourself there long enough to decimate your ground-based enemies with ranged attacks and spells.)
