Empowering echo does not stack with wizard's harmony anymore. Get rid of it and learn DC.

Arcane power will boost you in long term so for pve it's better than Wizard spirit. Keep it until you reach a reasonable level. You may want to learn Wizard Spirit when the pvps start making sense to you.

so Wizard Spirit>Arcane Power in pvp?
if i go Empowering Echo+shield+Knights HarmonyLv.1 – Buff Skill
Increases the P. Atk.+12%, P. Def.+45%, Shield Defense Rate +30%, Shield P. Def.+50%, P. Critical Damage +35%, and P. Critical Rate +100% of a party member for 30 minutes.is better than wizard spirit?
Empowering Echo doesn't stack with any Harmony anymore, and you will lose 100% Crit Rate, a ton of reuse, a ton of clarity, speed, and M.Def going with Knight Harmony.

Even if the buff stacked with Knight Harmony, it would be an abysmal decision to make since by itself Wizard Harmony > Empowering Echo and you lose way too much going that route. The only reason why it was so effective in PvE before was because the clarity in Wizard Harmony negated much of the MP Consumption decrease. Same goes for Arcane Power. It's totally usable now 100% of the time because the MP Consumption is now ignorable and the HP Drain is ignorable as well with VR working on nukes. You basically lose nothing for a huge gain in M.Atk.

Keep Arcane Power. Learn Double Casting.

As long as you're doing a ton of PvE it's not worth it to learn Wizard Spirit. I'd say don't even think about learning it below 95 if and only if you're doing a lot of PvP or Olympiad. Otherwise it's clearly worse than Arcane Power in the long-run.
