    No expert here, not by a longshot. But your abilities look odd to me.. "int 28, wis 31, char 17"

    If damage is your concern, Wis should probably be the lowest of the three stats.. Int, then Cha, then Wis. Cha gives Crit and Combat Advantage. Raw damage boost from Int. The rest is probably in feats and rotation choices.. but I'm not well versed enough to speak on those.

    It is (partially) the Shard indeed. It's our most damaging encounter. Also this game is way easier to theorycraft than WoW, which is (was?) more complex.

    You will find everything you need about thaum here:

    http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?465221-Pure-damage-Wizard-build-Feywild

    Rotation for trash clearing, as in CN for example:

    CoI/Mastery, Shard, Sudden Storm, Steal Time. There are some variations to this, like using Chill Strike/Tab and CoI normal instead of SS, or using Icy Terrain instead of SS. A soon to be dead rotation is EF/Tab, CoI instead of SS, for AS/OF spam.

    But you will find all the info in the guide, just read that instead.

    Besides, what Pers3phone already mentioned, you should read Grimah's Comprehensive Guide to Wizardry for those new and old. and exchange points in Wisdom with Charisma. Additionally, depending on your feats, Chilling Cloud does way more damage than Magic Missle for a Thamuaturge specced CW.

    Not 100% sure about this. It basically depends on your use of Destructive Wizardry/Storm Pillar, if you can use them efficiently and if you took the feat. If you use SP often and efficiently, and have it feated, then MM should only be used for boss fights single target with Chilling Cloud for the buff only. I had better things to do with my points, so I have MM at 1 point only, which means it never sees use. I don't miss it at all, after the months I spammed it as Rene.

    Anyway...

    If you don't use the Destructive Wiz. feat, you might be better off casting Chilling Cloud solely for the buff, once, and continue with MM spam. They're just better single damage and (I think) they also proc Storm Spell more.

    However if a few mobs are neatly all staying together, sucked in a corner by a sing and stunned by Steal Time, you're better off with Chilling Cloud because of the splash 3rd strike (which has very small radius). It's kinda hard to test though :\

    Also, switching at wills continuously is a chore and to be honest I cannot care less if I deal a million less DPS in CN or whatever, when we all know the true "skills" are actually in repelling (lame).

    So why chilling cloud if i go for full arcane dmg feats and rotation like CoI, SoA SS time, SP & MM - CC, isnt it better with MM for full arcane stacks all the time?? I will change my points and put more to char got it i just thought more Cds would be better but i got it now.. ty for the guide

    As I was saying, it depends on your feats and the targets. If are casting at adds (aka more than one MOB), Chilling Cloud does a) add Chills to the targets (which benefits Blighting Power), b) if you have Frozen Power Transfer it also increases your overall damage. And I normally precast Shard of the Endless Avalanche, I gain Arcane stacks from just standing beside it.
