All of these are on a bar for my wiz : Cures (by far the most used) Power Regen Health Regen Power pool increase (used before most hard fights) Intel potions  for when resistance gear drops the intel below the cap. Resistance enhancement potions if gear/buffs are short of cap. Sometimes use totems in ring events but normally good drink/food and wiz abilty to regen power are enough for soloing and raiding.

<P>As a non-raiding wizard I carry around:  potion of regeneration, potion of clarity, beholder totem, trauma/noxious/poison cure potions, and intelligence potions.  I also carry around a few totems of the chameleon for clueless groupmates who may not have their own in pick-up groups.  </P> <P>As mentioned above, the regen potions heal for more HP overall than the one-shot heals, I normally use them when I get an add or something goes wrong and at that point I'll get the mob rooted and toss back a potion to recover.  </P>
