Best Wizard save or suck for each save

[GrandReaper]

Hi all,

Working on a wizard which I haven't done in Pathfinder yet. I'd like to find a good control/Save or Suck type spell that targets each save to use Preferred spell on. As a result, the lower the level, the better. He'll be starting at 7th level.

My thoughts:
Will Save --- Slow (save and SR, but no restricted types)
Fort --- either Blindness or Baleful Polymorph (depending on if a Frog can cast if it makes the will save)
Ref --- Resilient Sphere?

Thanks!

At what level?

The Pit spells are nice for reflex saves, too. Hold Person is a killer of a will save loss. Color Spray is a killer at level 1.

etc.

Assuming Will the best cantrip is Unwitting Ally - daze plus extras as often as you want. Bard only. Good.

I wasn't specifying a spell level, but overall usefulness is desired. Basically, with 3 Preferred Spells I want to have a powerful spell versus each save. Currently I feel like Slow is the best of the best (covers numerous targets, neuters combat models and targets their weakest save). Stinking Cloud is awesome too, but doesn't work against a large number of enemy types.

Right now I think, if facing a balanced opposing group, the optimal situation would be:

1) Black Tentacles to bugger the casters
2) Slow to bugger anyone strong enough to get out
3) Have a cigar while the party kills things

but I'm looking for other options I may have missed. Glitterdust is solid, Hold Person loses out to me due to only targeting one enemy and it gets a save every round.

Thanks.

Plane Shift is one of the few actual Save-or-Die spells left in Pathfinder...and it's a great one because you can use it for its real purpose too!

All right. I want a matrix of Fort, Reflex, Will for levels 1 through 9. Go!

And when you're done, feel free to do the same for Alchemist, Bard, Cleric/Oracle, Druid, Inquisitor, Magus, Summoner, and Witch.

I'm only sort of kidding...

:-D

The best are the no save spells, like Limited Wish imitating a Geas/Quest cast by a Neutral caster. Bet you wish they didn't nerf Protection from X and Mindblank now huh?
