I just started leveling my crit/meteor wizard, and it is so much fun. She's 37 in nightmare Act II at the moment. I understand why you like Wave of Force. It was helpful to use it in a cycle with Frost Nova and also to help break up packs to help me run away. However, every jailor or frozen boss -- especially if they were also arcane -- scared the heck out of me. I just switched to Mirror Images/Duplicates, and I've been feeling so much more comfortable. It both helps me against those bosses and helps keep mobs busy while I'm waiting for Frost Nova to come back up again. Mind you, I've been using MI/Duplicates a lot over the last couple of weeks, so I'm used to its quirks -- and there definitely are quirks to the skill. I'll let you know how it goes as I continue to level up and finally reach a stage where I can start using Critical Mass.
By the way, I've been using Prodigy + Power Hungry while playing in groups, and it has just been spam city. In solo situations, I'll switch to Astral Presence, of course.
It's been fun playing this way in pug groups. None of the pugs I played with had ever seen anything like it. It's nice to play something different from the usual arcane or Blizzard/Hydra build standbys. Thanks for your write-up, Concillian.
