Best - worse magic paths

[sube]

This is a topic that came up already several times on these forums, during Dom2, and very probably in Dom3 too but I might have missed it. But here i go again...

Just curious to know which magic paths people like to play better/less now in Dom3. Me, I like Astral and Death (even separately, not necessarily the combination of the two). I think they perform really well, but I also like them thematically (which for me is also an important part). Air follows close behind.

At the bottom? I dont like playing Water too much, although it's useful to invade uw provinces. Fire's not too strong, but I like the way Dom catches the spirit of fire magic ( = destruction), so I dont mind playing it.
