Apr 11, 2011 12:40:43 If you look further down the forum index page you'll find the old 3.5e legacy forums. They still have quite an active community, and you'll probably be able to get a better answer there.

But considering the 80+ books in the 3.5 line (and that's not counting 3PPs) and the thousands of spells out there, I suspect the best answer to your question is: which ones do you like the best?

I'm sure there's some "CO-approved" answer to the question about which spells are "best" at level 9, but I suspect they're Wizard spells anyway.

Instead, I'd look to shore up your weaknesses. Are you offense-heavy? Pick up a couple of defensive buffs. Are you a specialist Illusionist who has trouble dealing damage? Grab some Evocation or Necromancy. And so on.

Flip through the books you have access to and see which ones strike your fancy or seem to work well with your concept. Those are the "best" spells for you.

thanks. new to the forums. yea, i'm not so much into the min/max 'best'... i guess i should have elaborated a little... just reccomendations... more so useful... i'll look into buffs then a lil... i'm kinda damage and utility heavy... i was debating a heal spell, but the touch range just isn't where i like to be

No harm, no foul. There's simply a place where you'll get better answers to MECHANICAL questions from D20 because that's where most of the D20 players hang out. "What's a player to do" is really more for intra-group player issues, regardless of edition.
