Sol Ro is the consensus choice for Wizards.

SOL RO SOL RO! Btw, Sol Ro is a neutral deity. He's worshipped by good and evil peeps. He's just that awsome.<img src="/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

All the strife's curse blessing is possibly better than any of the Ro blessings.. Tendrils of Hate (same price/postion as WotBP) summons two 70^^^ minions that attack your target for 1 min. They're quite tough actually (they tanked Tarinax for about 14 seconds when I tried to solo him once <img src="/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />..this+mb=97%) Anyway <b>each</b> of the two of them do about 1.2k dmg every 5 seconds to <b>everything in pbaoe</b> without any magic debuffs.. usually about 1.8k for the main debuffed mob. Also they do about 10k crushing to the main mob over the 1 min period. So while it may do about 45k dmg to the main mob over the entire duration which is less than WotBP it also will do about 30k ish to everything about it. For example last time I used it against Othysis in FTH it did 157k dmg, and I'm sure it could go higher. It also doesn't have the hate issues of WotBP. However it doesnt parse nicely under your name. You have to scroll down and look for the outgoing damage of wrathful tendrils of hate. Anyway, more situational than WotBP (aoe encounters) and if the raid mob is a big aoe'er they wont live, but personally I prefer it. Strife's curse is the Inny blessing I usually carry around with me. Fairly straight forward.. lasts 10 min, every hostile spell (including surge) drains 400ish pwr.. which is useless.. but regens 180? ish power back to you. Now of course this is useless unless you are on a long fight, but the long fights are the ones you're probably going to save your blessings/miracles for. Anyway this will regen about 4-4.5k power back to you per minute while chain casting, or about 40-45k power over its entire duration (if the fight lasts longer). With an illusionist buffing pwr regen and a couple of pwr procing items (and sagacity, 5 in bol etc) I've found you can actually manaburn at the start, pump power once and regen enough to do a second full power manaburn 4.5 mins later... sorta like a necro.. Any wiz who knows how much dps can fall off on long fights will appreciate how much this can add to your damage output. The downside of course is that you have to survive .. goes away when you die.. which can be tricky doing mid fight full power manaburns. Anyway.. just thought I'd point out that Inny is very good too.. On a side note.. for the soloing wiz.. you might want to give cazik a try. All his blessings/miracles are junk for raiding... but he has one awesome miracle for solo'ers.. thule's grasp (name?) (far bottom right). Its root+fear that lasts for 1 min. Yawn your thinking.. until you use it and realize that its unresistable and unbreakable, and an unbreakable root+fear = stun. They just sit there like punching bags for 1 min. Its pretty wierd using rending icicles, protoferno, inferno surge etc on a rooted mob your soloing but it works =)
