Eh, I've gotten great mileage out of single wizard Aloth. Because spells don't have bonus accuracy anymore, what you do is stack accuracy gear on your primary debuffer. So in my case Aloth can open with a debuff that targets enemies' weakest defence - e.g. Miasma or Arkemyr Hex vs. Will, Slicken for Ref - and then follow up with that horror spell which is perennially fantastic.
Lacrymas POTD isn't really a missfest when you do some optimisation, so I think the current rate is good. On veteran you can probably just cast anything you want.
This is why level-based acc/def gain matters; if you are level 14 or so and you encounter a bit weaker enemies sporting sub-90 defences, you know that your debuffs will land and the entire mob will be in disarray within two spells, just because of the level-based acc advantage.
It's telling that the best experiences happen when, say, your best stuff targets Will and you're fighting a dude who happens to have jacked up Will defence, forcing you to search for secondary options.
