I have two Threaders at the moment, one Dex tagged up to MAla and another Str Version at level 52 I think. The Dex version tends to use the Myco Sickle alot for the slots since it doesn't have great ab and I used Fallen Angel for that build, it worked out quite well tho I may probably have been better going Wisdom based with FA.
My STR version uses Koly and will have 58 STR at 60 and double Demi, 60 if I can get hold of a STR Art, doubtful but you never know and has Dev Crit.
Both builds are 20/20 and so have no Epics, becuase of this I decided taking any spell focuses would be a waste of time and read an Enchant book with each for +13 GMW. Just so I could cast GMW on myself if I was running around places like the Ele Plains on my own.
After reading this thread I might have been better taking Abjuration tome for the ele immunity spell but otherwise the only spells I tend to cast are DF on myself, FOM and Entropic Shield and only because it looks really kewl with HG Enhanced.
I don't see any point in casting other spells, I'll throw out some HC's or Mass Heals if needed but apart from that I need the slots for threading so tend to cast as few spells as possible. I keep spells on my quickslots purely for the sake of being able to see when I need to rest.
As for spell usefulness I have found HC and Mass Heals of use occasionally but only when no true Cleric or Druid is about to cast them, Firestorm is an excellent spell for Rona as it will clear out the trees and allow the casters in the party to concentrate on other stuff. GR is a waste since it just doesn't last long enuf to be of any real benefit, battletide again has a very short lifespan on a 20/20 threader as does UEF and Corona so again I never use them.
The resurection spell is useful in that it gives you a fast rez I guess but that eats away at your available spells for threading and if low on slots then I wouldn't recomend it. Use rez rods or scrolls instead, not as fast mebbe but still gets the job done. Remember you really don't want to waste your higher level slots casting spells you have memmed in them, since the higher the spell level being used the more damage you do that round.
