For large areas in the early game only hour per level ones which I cast on arrival at the area in question. Later game ten minute per level, minute per level stuff as well. After that it depends on the fight in question. I only use per rest spells and abilities if I need them. For trash mobs I don't need them. For intermediate I add some as required but only if required. For boss fights I buff to the eyeballs. Basically I budget to try to clear an area on single rest unless it's a big area in which case I might take one rest before the final boss battle especially if I need particular spells to deal with the boss.

For small areas I generally buff to the eyeballs on arrival since most of them involve a single big fight and I'm going to be resting on the way back to base/next area anyway.

I rush 'Greater Enduring Spells' for almost my whole team so my entire party is always walking around permanently buffed with almost every single buff possible (including trivial ones like aid), except the very short duration buffs like haste.

So the only buff I might manually activate before a fight is haste, and that's usually not even needed.

Infinite Diamond Dust?

Heroic Invocation (Heroism all earlier), Communal Mind Blank (Mind Blank all earlier), Death Ward (melee), Communal Delay Poison, Group See Invis, Life Bubble...

Watch for what doesn't stack, burn scrolls (as long as someone has copied it), run through potions, wands are a Great source of "Post fight" Healing.

Heroism
Magical Vestment (armor+shield stack if you use an actual shield)
Stoneskin + Communal
Echolocation

Protection from Spells
Foresight
Heroic Invocation


There are some exceptions to the duration of the spells, for example Resist Energy Communal is 10m and not 10m per Level or Divine Favor is 1m and not 1m per Level.

You need to check each spell which bonus it gives and see if it stack with a different spell, for example Aid/Bless/Heroism/Heroism,Greater/Good Hope/Heroic Invocation all gives moral bonus on attack rolls (among other things) so no point in having them all on at the same time, and if the spell benefits you in any way, for example Stone Fist if you are armed or Hurricane Bow if you don't use a bow.

[Cutlass Jack]

None really. Unless its a particularly brutal fight I can't handle without. In that case: every buff I have memorized.

Well singular exception is keeping things like Mage armor on people who rely on it for main AC. (Archmage mythic, Cam's wind buff, etc.)

[Mindeveler]

In KM it was usually:
- all defensive buffs for animal companions (who were my primary tanks): shield of faith, mage armor, magical vestment, cat's grace, barkskin + alchemist's shield for boss fights.
- enlarge person for reach weapon users and archers, also hurricane bow for Ekun
- heroism for the main damage dealers
- bard's lingering "inspire courage"
- delay poison because everyone and their mother were poisonous
- haste before tougher fights and protection from energy/arrows/etc. situationally
that's all for regular fights.

For boss fights - everything I had at my disposal from sorc, ranger, cleric, bard 12 and alchemist 8 spell lists. Guarded Hearth was #1 priority.
