i'm running a blight/corpse explosion build for a necromancer and this is what it's telling me to prioritize:

What is more important regarding an item? It's power level, or the amount of damage/armor/etc is has?

It's a mix. However, look up the item power level breakthroughs. Ultimately you are wanting higher item power which usually has better stats. This is not too important until around lvl 50 or so.

How important are aspects?

Very. Start extracting aspects to save them. They can be huge boosts. Imprint them to legendarys you like.

Currently struggling in WT2, but I think that may be my problem.

What lvl are you? As a sorcerer, I died several times leveling. Bosses were tough. Took some respecs and understanding to get through it.

Is there a specific type considered best for solo players?

How important are aspects? I just realized I haven't assigned any to my gear. Currently struggling in WT2, but I think that may be my problem.

First, drop down to World Tier I. No one levels in WT2, it's just not worth it. You'll kill mobs faster in WT1 which will more than make up for the XP differential. Not only that, but Barbarians are the most difficult class to level up, and don't fully come online until well after level 50.

You should be looking at an item's power level as a general indicator of how good it is, but you need to prioritize for stats that align with the build that you're going for. You generally want to look for gear with +Strength, +Vulnerable Damage, +Crit chance, and +Crit damage. But again, it's going to depend on your build. If you're going for a Thorns or Bleed build, you need to build a gear set around those stats.

And yes, Aspects are hugely important. You should be doing all of the dungeons required to fill up your Codex of Power with class based Aspects, and then imprinting those on all of your gear while leveling. Aspects will define your build, playstyle, and level of power, so they need to be selected carefully and optimized intelligently. The Amulet is your "free" slot as any Aspect can be imprinted here with a +50% effectiveness, and any Aspect present on a weapon slot gains +100% effectiveness - so use those to your advantage to optimize for your build.
