 Note that Displacement, which is strongest buff in game currently, can be cast in armor without arcane spell failure since it doesn't have somatic component. I did not take any ranks into Concentration though, so buffing during combat will be hard if not impossible. I am however of an opinion that there is no need to rebuff during combat. Except Displacement and War Cry all buffs are long-term so you just strip yourself naked whenever you rest, buff them and you should still have them when you reach the final boss. If you really need displacement and you really need to cast it during combat, then just run away for a bit and cast it. Unless you are being shot at it should work. Alternatively replace discipline for concentration ranks. Since the build has high AC, discipline might be needless as most monsters won't try even try knockdown. Note that Displacement, which is strongest buff in game currently, can be cast in armor without arcane spell failure since it doesn't have somatic component.

-I selected War Cry as a must have, however nobody ever really relied on this spell in past. The build has enough AB without it. Unlike Displacement it cannot be cast armored without failure. I don't think that this spell is something that you must rebuff periodically. Cast it for bosses and key NPCs, sure, since you have it, but pointless to keep it buffed entire run.+I selected War Cry as a must have, however nobody ever really relied on this spell in past.
