I'd really like to save the feat slot for improved initiative. Of course, being first is extremely important for a wizard, but I'd still love to spend the feat on something else -- my feat progression is really crowded as is.
What alternatives are there?
o Cat's Grace or Dex-raising items, obviously (but the enemy will have this, as well, so that's not really doing the job)
o Nerveskitter, but that is using my first round's swift action, so it comes at a high cost, because I usually want to cast a quickened spell in my first turn
o Foresight can help me be ready (potentially readying an action), but will not help me when an initiative check is called for
Any other options you can see?
(Oh, and class dips are out of the question... interesting for later builds, maybe, but not for now)
