I'm wondering which tier 4 spell I should get since I have a single rare at this point. Which would be most beneficial?

I disagree on Icy coil.  It is a very important spell at its level, but it gets replaced by Piercing Icicles and is never used again.  Unless you plan to mentor people or have an extra rare, dont get icy coil as it wont ever be used at higher levels.

You've obviously never raided before with more then 1 wizard in the raid.....We have 3 wizards in the raid and each uses a different debuff spell since 2 of the same don't stack.And they also all stack.Icy CoilPiercing IciclesFreezing WindAnd no, not Icy Wind since the scaling is broken.The stats remain the same wether you have appr4 or Adept3.The old spell Freezing Wind actually debuffs more then the higher spell Icy Wind.

I just turned lvl 37 and have both Ball of flames and ice flame at adept III.

Ice flame is nice but I wouldn't say it's essential.  Ball of flames min dmg. at adept III is greater than max dmg at app 1.  I would say it's pretty essential.  But you're probably going to need immolation too.

I don't understand how people can't afford at least a few adept III's though since the prices have dropped so much with offline selling.  unless you're upgrading all your equipment every level and using up a lot of money that way.

I really like Ice Flame, theres just something about it. Currently it's doing a combined 650ish damage and is only a casting time of 2, After Immolation, it will be my next adept 3 SMILEY Adept 3, Teir 4s cost 75 gold on AB server. Adept 3, Teir 3s cost roughly 40 to 60 gold. Adept 3, Teir 2s cost roughly 15 to 30 gold.

I like Ice Flame more than I did at first, now that i've gotten used to the extremely short casting range.  I usually start with tether, cast 2 debuffs from range, then frozen manacles then big nukes then ice flame and by that point if root has broken the 60% slow from ice flame usually lasts long enough for me to finish the mob off or if it's a really tough one apply another root.

Don't forget Westfiends. It's on par with your Ball of Fire. Reason being sometimes that there are mobs that are highly resistant to heat and cold. You just have to know who they are. I.e Darathar is very resistant to Fire. So you'll end up using most of your ice spells.. Just make 2 bars of spells one for heat another for cold.. and another with a combination of both.
