Key Wizard Items

Items in this category provide strong and unique benefits (beyond just stats) for a Wizard.

Notable Weapons

As casters (who rarely melee) Wizards are less concerned with their primary slot item than many classes. However, there are a few weapons worth mentioning for Wizards:

SV FIRE +5 SV COLD +5
WT: 4.0 Size: LARGE
Class: WIZ
Race: HUM ERU HIE DEF GNM

quested (L30+) The right-click effect of this weapon is amazing for Wizards who quad kite, both because it lowers resists, but (more importantly) because it is instant-cast and the same distance as quad kiting spells (so it serves as a "range finder" when quad kiting)
