Sure its spammable, but if you are facing say 9 mobs. Even if you could hit the same 3 perfectly, you would only be able to spam Arcane missile to ensure they remained slowed. Meanwhile your dmg would be laughable... If you are going to use temporal flux for an aoe slow, you need a real aoe like Arcane orb or disintegrate.
Arcane orb and disintegrate get slow from the very same passive split gets, so i don't see a problem here. I will just take split as my signature spell in arcane builds for additional cc when im out of AP.
If the mobs are already slowed by a real arcane aoe, then there is no reason to use magic missile for slowing purposes.
Imo, no matter how you slice it, magic missile + temporal flux is just a bad combination in PvM.

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
For me the most useless spell in d2 and now in d3 is the shock blast.Plain or runed it is inferior than magic missile with charged blast.I never liked this spell.
agree about shock pulse (hated it in d2 as well) but explosive bolts and shatter (the 1st frost nova rune) work well together
Some of these spells would be more useful in pvp, like arcane hydra and the seeking missles.
agreed, thinking of using spells like hydra mainly for pvp or late game play
I don't like Mirror Image and Magic weapon, but every other is a possible spell in my wizbuild.
On the other hand, I'd like to defend energy twister, it has potential later on (Hell, Inferno), where mobs die slowly,and you have to kite more, and this spell will shine at that point. In the beta when we got this spell a bit late, and it's just normal. We oneshot mobs and obviously energy twisters slowish killing speed isn't preferred.
