Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

No.2 is a good idea as always.

No.1 is, in my opinion, not going to be very useful as a vast majority of builds that operate on not being pure-pure wizard archmages are quite feat starved. It'll be difficult to put in feats that lower the risk of dispelling if that means compromising other natural choices for arcane-magic-based characters. Give it a long think guys, try to hypothetically make mages, gishes, arcane sneaks with such feats (Which you probably have already done anyway) so that it doesn't end up like a waste of time and effort.

In regular PvE play, I feel quite comfortable eating dispels - yea sure, they sting, but what compensates it is that with all the tools at my disposal, I can solo every boss/dungeon out there bearing no cost whatsoever (except the white dragon).

Majority of non-casters don't have that luxury. UMD isn't as reliable and in addition hurts the pocket.

You might want to revisit this take. You were getting +3CL with the DD since the class is bugged
