Wizard is probably the most popular character class throughout all MMORPG games. I think that everyone sometimes likes to "play magic", even if it's only a virtual world. Wizards are known for the fact that they tend to attack from afar with their extraordinary abilities. What is more, thanks to their skills, they can disorient enemies, or swiftly teleport themselves out of danger. Unfortunately, they are quite fragile, so they have to make sure to don't get dragged in the center of combat, with no way to escape.

A build that focuses on the Archon form. You will need some time to warm up, but after you reach Archon form with a proper amount of stacks, you can quickly clear the map of all the mobs. To make this build work properly, you will need the whole Vyr's Amazing Arcana set. Moreover, you will need the Chantodo's Resolve set. You can choose the amulet by yourself, but it would be good to have one with a bonus to lightning damage. The rings that you should wear are Convention of the Elements and Halo of Arlyse. Fazula's Improbable Chain is the best choice for your belt and you should wear Ancient Parthan Defenders on your wrists. Remember to activate Archon form ONLY AFTER collecting enough stacks from Chantodo!

Skills

Left mouse button - Wizard | Example builds - Example builds - Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Game Guide

Left mouse button. Arcane Torrent + Static Discharge

Thanks to Arcane Torrent you will be able to produce chain lightnings and stack Chantodo charges faster. This will allow you to enter Archon form and deal more damage quicker. ALWAYS remember about it.

Right mouse button. Teleport + Safe Passage

Teleport is the basic skill of every Wizard. Thanks to this ability, you can quickly move to a safe place, which will often save your life! Thanks to Safe Passage, you will receive less damage after teleporting.

1. Ice Armor + Crystallize

Ice Armor will increase your defensive abilities and will also freeze the enemies that attack you.

2. Magic Weapon + Deflection

Magic Weapon will increase the damage that you deal and also provide a nice protection in the form of an absorbing shield. Thanks to that, you can feel a bit safer when the enemies attack you suddenly.

3. Archon + Pure Power

Archon is a special form of the Wizard, in which you can deal huge AoE damage (especially with a maximum amount of Chantodo stacks!). Because you want to use this skill as often as you can, it is good to choose the Pure Power rune to reduce the cooldown. This rune will also make you deal lightning damage when in Archon form.

4. Frost Nova + Deep Freeze

Frost Nova not only freezes your enemies, but also, thanks to Deep Freeze rune, increases your chance of critically hitting a frozen enemy.

Passive Skills

1. Evocation

Reduces all your cooldowns by 20%.

2. Audacity

You will be able to deal 30% more damage to all the enemies within 15 meters from you.

3. Blur

Blur will reduce the damage you receive by 17%.

4. Unstable Anomaly

This is your rescue plan if you have some trouble during the gameplay. Instead of dying, you get a shield that will hold you alive long enough for you to react properly.
