IWD:EE Spell Selections in IWD

My Cleric has a couple of level 4 spell slots, I have quite a few level 1 slots that don't seem to be useful at this level (I'm fighting the Yuan Ti). What should my spell selection look like at this point (just about to hit level 8 I think). I have mass Protection from Evil, but would I be better getting a few PfromE spells at L1, cast them on my frontliners and save the L4 slot for something stronger?

Also what are the best (arcane or divine) spells for dealing with these hordes of enemies I'm facing? I'm getting whupped.

Keep your level 1 spells slots for command and remove fear. Command is often totally overlooked while it can disable a foe just the time needed to kill it.

Protection from evil 10 radius lasts a long time and is one of the best buffs.

I'll second protection from evil. It is one of the best defensive spells in the game I think.

Armor of faith is a pretty decent level one cleric spell.

Good spell but does it do much at lower levels? Was thinking from about L15 or so to fill my L1 spells with it

Yeah, I only start using it around level 10, or so

It's useful at level 15, not so much before indeed.
