Take the tour ×  The wizard is, as always, something of a glass
cannon. Is there a skill the provides the greatest knockback for
the purposes of crowd control? If there are two (one for single
targets, one for multiples), please list the conditions in which
they would best apply.  share|improve this question add comment
1 Answer  up vote 2 down vote accepted  Your best bet is Wave of
Force with the Impactful Wave rune.  Wizards don't have a skill
that will reliably cause Knockback. If you're finding that
enemies are closing on you quickly, try dropping a Slow Time
with Miasma or Blizzard with Grasping Chill or Frost Nova with
Shatter. These aren't Knockback skills, but they do slow/freeze
very well, allowing you to flee or attack with impunity (for a
second or two).  share|improve this answer add comment  Your
