[Tartan]

A few times now I've leveled up a mage or matured a pet to find a new buff available from a power, spell, or aura. I find myself saying, "Hey, that would be pretty cool...*if* my party had this-or-that." For instance, a buff for both +Lightning & +Ice makes me wish I'd not specialized my mages in Fire and Summoning.

Now that I've almost run thru the game twice, I'm thinking of making a new party and I'm remembering all those wonderful "if only" buffs I didn't get much use out of and wondering which one or two to exploit to get a helpful boost.

So...what are your favorite buffs? Which would you recommend developing an entire party around to take advantage of it's full potential? These could be from pets, spells, or powers; I'm not picky...just looking for ideas.
