I'm torn about what my level 7th level spell should be as a Sorcerer as was hoping for some thoughts. I have:
1. Greater Teleport (bloodline spell)
2. Summon Monster 7
3. Hungry Darkness
4. ???
For that last spell I'm not sure what to go with. I was thinking either Waves of Exhaustion or Waves of Ecstasy. Exhaustion is nice as it allows no save, but while exhausted is a nice condition, the stagger/stun from Ecstasy is more debilitating in combat. It's the difference between "-3 to hit/dam, half speed or "no actions, drop everything/no full attacking." But at the same time Ecstasy allows a save to just make it a 1 round effect and is mind affecting, while Exhaustion is pretty much guaranteed to last the rest of the enemy's life with no save.
How would you weigh in on this? Should I get one of those spells or something else entirely? As a side note, the only Summon Monster spells I have are 7 and 8; do you think 8 is plenty enough or should I stick with 7 too just to have more almost as good uses of the spell? Such tough choices to make.
