Ahhh please stop with this argument. Yeah wizard, have per rest spell, but until we are not speedrunning no problem if we sleep a lot. And after lvl9, spell lvl1/2 became per encounter. Then a craft system is pretty cool in the game, you have lore as wizard, add a little surv, and you can have a lot of scroll /potion when you lack of spell. But, i'm ok with 1. Real weapon could be really better, and moar dex less con too.

Happy to see Another Close Combat Mage. I've done one myself, and it's pretty cool. I've start like you lowering dex, but in fact, you can dump con to 3 without any incidence and put that point in dex. Even if the spell are instant, better dex = fast action, and way more fun. 10con or 3con for melee wizard is really not a big difference (even 18con is useless) Parasitic staff is fun. But try shield+hatchet and "Weapon and Shield" talents. I love how you can have great choice in buff spell, but look for crafting potion and scroll, and you can replace some of your spell with that( survivability to have long potion effect.) ps: take a look at this post (but never lower migth to 10 like i've post in this topic, you need damage bonus you're not a real tank, long fight is painfull for you)

a problem at the beginning of the game, after some lvl lower spell became per encounter. And some nice buff spell are lower lvl. And you can craft fun scroll and potion !

Can't wait ya xD. I use my beloved Slicken before the patch. Ya, Wizard can be tanky after some level: weapon&shield, arcane/hardened veil, mirror imaged, infuse, martial power. I've lower might to 10, but i think is a mistake, i can't handle too long fight. I'm gonna try lowering per (i've dex for reflexe) and up might. The most hard time for wiz, is the start/begining. Per rest spell is hard to handle, i use crafted scroll to resolve that problem.

You need to learn the power of slicken/chill

Anyone have success Solo Hard Expert with a wizard? I've played 'Frontline Wizard' with a team trying to keep them away from the fight to judge the challenge. I'm around the middle of the game and everything fine for the moment (thanks a lot of reloads, RNGod and rangedSupport for hard/script battle). So now i wanna try the solo challenge with it. I'm looking for any tips, cause the challenge gonna be really really hard i think. ps: spell & build

Hey, This post really give me the feeling that i need to play a MeleeWizard. Cause we can, and that could be fun. I've some difficulties to find a build that can help me playing that. I reroll a lot until the bear cave (hard/expert) to try to find the best combination i can find. But i've always been bad at theorycrafting, and optimize a char has never been my priority. But for this time, the feelings isn't enough, i think i need help. The best thing i've done so far is: Race: MoonGodLike Mig 10 -> i want to spell damage Con 3 -> even with 18 if i really get engage it can't help much (and with spell per rest, i need to sleep alot) Dex 15 -> speed cast/action, i don't want to feel asleep during a fight, and i can't handle long fight. Per/Res 16 -> Deflect Int 18 -> i'm wizard after all. With Calisca armor ,hatchet, shield, and "Weapon and Shield". I'm actually just in front of the two bears, without buff i've: Health 95 Endurance 32 Accuracy 19 Deflect 48 Fortitude 15 Reflexe 68 Will 56 So with Wizard Double and Fan of Flame, i can do bears if RNGod are with me: - Engage Arbalest. - Fan of Flame (small bear down or one hit and down). - Wizard Double (allow me to survive one big hit from the last bear). - Fan of Flame. - Try anything i can and pray. I've plan a little my futur i know which talent i should try (arcane veil..etc) With the previous post i know which spell could be really usefull. Then Scroll scroll scroll until i get spell/encounter. But i feel i miss something important. I don't want to be the tank of the team, i'm gonna use Aloth for CC, i just want to output some damage and survivability. And, later, replay this build in solo game. So i need to survive few hit, but not drop my might and dps too much... Any tips are welcome.
