What do you think is the best weapon to durganize for a melee wizard. Of coure he will be using Spirit Lance in the difficult battles, but oherwise there are many great two-handed weapons, especially in the soldier category (Tidefall, The Hours of St. Rumbald, Tall Grass).

Just another question concerning melee wizard. Has anybody tried melee wizard with shied + single handed weapon? Arcane Veil is awesome, but has short duration and can be used only twice per rest. I know that there are builds for tanky wizards with shields, but I´m looking more for melee wizard using shield as his primary way of defence (+ spells, of course, maybe skiping Veil altogether ). The problem is that single handed weapons don´t do as much damage as two-handed and all summoned weapons are two-handed. Two weapons, that seem to ideal for this build, are probably Spelltongue (but it probably requires Vulnerable Attack to compensate for low damage) or Bittercut (Spirit of Decay is useful for other corrosive spells).

It seems that I will stick with the two-handed build and maybe take Veteran´s Recovery instead of Superior Deflection. I undestand that there are probably more efficient builds than melee mage, but I love this conception of melee wizard. I play it in every game wherever it is at least a bit viable.

I´m going to play death godlike melee wizard (PotD difficulty) but can´t decide which build to use. I have three in mind and still vacillate between them. 1) two-handed build: - arcane veil - hardened veil - weapon focus (any, will be using mainly summoned weapons) - two-handed style - interrupting blows or savage attack - superior deflection - bear´s fortitude - body control 2) Bittercut/sabre build (preferably two Bittercuts) - arcane veil - hardened veil - weapon focus: ruffian - two weapon style - savage attack - spirit of decay - bear´s fortitude - body control 3) daggers build - arcane veil - hardened veil - weapon focus: noble - two weapon style - vulnerable attack - savage attack - bear´s fortitude - body control I really can´t decide which to use.
