Your favorite spell to put in a Ring of Counterspells

[Lincoln Hills]

I'm such a fan of the ring of counterspells, both as a PC and as a GM outfitting NPCs. It's a fun little guessing-game of sorts which always amuses me: "Which 1st- through 6th-level targetted spell does this character hate getting hit with the most? Which is he/she most likely to be hit with?"

I've loaded the ring to counteract hold person for one character, slay living for another: in one case I had an outsider carrying one with dismissal, although in retrospect I'm not sure that was a legal option for the ring.

So - bearing in mind the various save-or-suck effects: if your character had a ring of counterspells and an open ring slot to wear it in, which spell would you opt to ward yourself against?

Greater Dispel Magic seems like a good one, seeing as how that's probably how most high-level encounters with magic users start. If whatever effect getting you See Invisibility you have gets dispelled, you're probably in trouble.
