Is that the general consensus or should I have dabbled in them more?

Current system doesn't really have many skills/spells related to reactions. It's mostly Attack of Opportunity.

But reactions CAN save your entire party from being wiped if Larian implements them well. That is the reason for the intense discussion on it. I guarantee you'll want Counterspell at level 5+ if Larian decides to throw some higher level spellcasters at us with Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Stinking Cloud, Cone of Cold and the like. Suddenly, reactions will be VERY important.
