Yeah I pretty much try to hit the most potent thing I have up giving the situation (aoe vs single target)...does the trick.

Is there a solo AA / Character development guide for wizards? I know there's one for warlocks... just kinda odd i cant seem to find a wiz guide. Any help is appreciated. And yes, in b4 i read the sticky.

generally what I have learned is that it doesnt really matter. Heres how 90 % of your solo fights are gonna go-

root-nuke-root-nuke-etc.

Speccing for the normal max dps in raids will will just fine for this.

Sure, you can go the defensive, "I'm gonna run up there and tank" route, and trust me i do that all the time, but its not soloing...I do that with a healer. W/O changing AA

For the control-immune stuff I usually pull something like this off: Say hello with a charged up ice comet, then spam Numbing cold until the mobs hit by it, then KITE. do stuff like back out and cast fusion so that it land just as the nameds walking into range. use heavy hitters, if you cant kill it before that first numbing wears off you prolly aint doing it unless dakkotas' with you.

In a nutshell: successful soloing is more about style than spec IMO

manashield/mitigation spec is for deuling.

I am basically going to be soloing to 80 and am currently 51 so just received the joy that is Ice Comet, love 1-shotting mobs now.

But i put 10 pts into mana shield a couple in ice shield one so I had enough pts to get to reach. Are you suggesting that I shouldn't have manashield at all and should go down a different path?

Well when you are 1 shotting every 3rd or 4th mob, and easily dropping the mobs in between with 2-4 nukes, there isn't a whole lot of time to get beaten on.

Root > Manashield for soloing. Spend the points and get the reuse speed/casting speed/base damage/power use. I never went down and got reach either. Straight fire and ice. Sure you will die every now and then but you will blow up more mobs in between deaths.
