As a level 75 raid guild Wizzy (Precision Strike) this part of Wildmagic Strike has got to be one of my favorite and most used spells.
First, the base cast time is 3.0 sec. and recast 2.3 (Wildmagic Strike RK.II)
When this spell is most useful for me is for reduced hate casting, such as when we first engage a mob and I don't wanna blow a big nuke and draw aggro, or for those long drawn out big boss fights. The longs fights I work like this -- when I get low on mana, say 30%, and I don't have any mod rod/harvests to pop then I'll conserve mana and start using Wildmagic Strike. Since it's such a low mana cost spell I can cast it nearly indefinitely doing damage until a GIFT pops up. With gift I blow a free big nuke and go back to Wildmagic Strike until another gift or a mana harvest comes available.
What's really great is the mana/damage ratio. For minimal mana (not to mention using reduced mana cost gear) I can very often get big crits, 5000+, out of a 284 mana cost spell. That's over 20:1 ratio. True it has the other two spells with it but it seems to use the Pure Wildmagic the most for me. I believe I got a 14K+ crit with it recently with a Druid epic proc. WOOHOO.
Get it and use it!

this is Not really a spell, there's no scroll for it. It is actually part of the wildmagic strike spell, this is the "best" spell it can give off.
the wildmagic strike spell is a 3 sec spell.. after the 3 second cast time it has a chance to cast this spell (instant after the 3 sec cast, the 30sec cast time on this isn't real, since there is no scroll for this). Also the mana cost of wildmagic strike is 284 (for the rank 2)

Why do they keep on nerfing this spell? It was actually usefull when it was 0 mana and 10 sec cast time. 30 sec and not even mana free now? What is up with that?

Boy, I sure wish I had a DD that cost 50 mana and did almost 3k base damage.
Long cast time? No biggie. As an Enchanter, I'm already used to the mob(s) being dead (or so close to it that it's not even funny) before my first nuke finishes casting, anyway.
My best nuke = Polychromatic Assault Rk. II.
Cast Time = 6.0 seconds
Mana Cost = 462
Base Damage = 1967
My mana/damage ratio isn't nearly as efficient as most Wizards' spells are, the damage is pathetic, and the cast time is hideous. The only saving grace is that it's Chromatic...but even then, the resist mod is (0), so quite a few boss mobs in Demiplane (and even Anguish) will shrug it off.
Even in groups, I rarely count as "DPS"; and in raids, they can't tell if I'm nuking or not. So it's not like the casting time would be a big deal for me. Not to mention the fact that a Magic(-250) mod probably comes out to a lower resist rate than Chromatic(0) does...especially after Echo of Tashan Rk. II and Malosinise Rk. II are in.
I'd trade mine in for this one any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Heck, if it weren't for the recourse of Mind Phobiate Rk. II (Mind Phobiate Recourse), I probably wouldn't bother damaging mobs at all...
With Mind Phobiate Rk. II, after figuring in the detrimental mana preservation Focus from my Crystallized Glass Staff and the +504 mana regained from the recourse, I'm spending around 55(ish) mana for a tad over 4k damage done in a little over 30 seconds. Not bad at all...so long as I have a buff slot free for the recourse.

So... you miss that old Velious robe do ya?
WELL !! Your prayers have been answered !
It's not a robe, it's not any sort of item you right-click, it's a SPELL !
Yay....
Yes - for the cost of (who knows, I have no idea where you get this yet - perhaps when yer max-ally to the vendor in Katta it'll be like 400 Orux or somesuch) you too can occupy a spell slot with a 30-second casting, lure-like, 0-mana cost, completely rediculous dps spell.
I thought this was so-so when it was originally reported as a 10 second cast, but a 30 second cast? OMG. I know - it's all about BALANCE - give Wizards insta-cast spells and then spells that take an aeon to cast....
Well let's see... you are on a raid and a mana-drain AE has hit you. You become oom and the battle is still raging on. What do you do? Well for a "Theoretical max unadjusted DPS" of 92 I think I'll just commit hari-kari. I think I'd do better swinging my staff.
Somewhere... deep in the bowels of SOE... a Magician-playing Dev is laughing soooooooo hard.... I hope he chokes.

10 second cast time would make this spell useless... i mean if u are oom maybe good for keeping the dps going but... reallly crappy dps. but 10 seconds wth i think this blows with that cast time but w/e ill prolly have to use it considering im only 12k buffed. but 10 seconds wth.
id like to ee us wizzys catch up to zerker or rogue dps.
rogues job = do damage
zerkers job = do damage
wizards job = do damage
i cant do half as much damage as a zerker. PLZ sony give me an epic 2.5 with a crazy damage mod or a new spell with crazy damage and low cast
but this spell is .. sorta kewl i guess. looking forward ore to the lifeshards than this though

I am wondering if this spell is affected by spell haste.
I do not see anything in the description to make me think that it isn't
If any wizzy out there uses this could you post your casting time and
what buffs/AA/gear spell haste you have.

it's not even live yet
not completely useless since many wizards go OOM on long raid fights
that would be nice though if wizards could do dps like zerkers. on my wizard i use the instant cast nukes because they help me spend my mana faster-- and even when i use it all my DPS is not that great-- not to mention our spells can be resisted where as a zerker's attacks can't.

did this spell go live and is that a typo 0 mana come on and a 2 second recast time why would they tease us wizards like that it is just mean some one please tell us where to get this if you can even get it
no it's not live, maybe when the new exspansion comes out. And the casting time is 10 seconds , which is the downside to the 0 mana .
