How Do You Make The Strongest Wizard?

The Wizard class offers a lot of spells and buffs that can be very powerful when used correctly. The magic that the Wizard is able to cast can be devastating to enemies, and the high amount of damage from its spells can quickly destroy entire groups. However, the Wizard has low hitpoints and moves around at a snail’s pace compared to other classes.

At level 0 for the Wizard, pick Quick Chant as your first perk selection. This will let you cast them 20% faster, giving you a massive increase to spell cast speed and helping you out when you’re in a pinch. For abilities as the Wizard class, pick Meditation so that you can refill your spells and be able to use more when you’re exploring. Also, select a Spell Memory slot so that you are able to use your spells at all!

Other perks you should select include the Fire Mastery perk, which gives you an increase to fire damage and makes your enemies burn for longer. Also, Arcane Feedback will make your arcane attacks deal extra damage, which really helps you to wipe out your foes when you cast the Magic Missile spell. Make sure to be on the lookout for gear that buffs magic damage, as well as a Spell Book that will give you Spell Casting Speed as a bonus.

Movement speed is something that you can neglect, because this is not something you need to be strong in as a Wizard. You can avoid the Crystal Ball, as it is not something that really helps the Wizard class as much as other items will. Lastly, make sure to have a Crystal Sword or other melee weapon that doesn’t involve spells in case you find yourself in trouble and need a reliable damage dealer.

Hopefully you now know how to make the best build when you play Dark and Darker as the Wizard class.
