Melee Wizard: stats and talents

[Raven Darkholme]

Just the longer durations are totally worth it not only on debuffs but self buffs.

But if i would change to a ranged mage which rod/sceptre/wand i have to choose to have corrode damage? I've found a thing: if i fight in melee i can't use my spells, normally can't use my spells because i'm busy to use my weapon. SO of i play a mage i want cast my spells so i've changed to a ranged caster! Which rod/wand/sceptre i can use with corrode talent damage?

[Boeroer]

None. I mean besides enchanting it with a corrosive lash - or using Kalakoth's Minor Blights which are corrosive every fourth shot.

 

The blast AoE damage doesn't have to do anything with the implement by the way.

 

It's a simple crush AoE damage. So it's best to choose an implement with an on-hit or on-crit effect and forget the direct damage it does to the initial target.

 

Besides Minor Blights my favorites are the Golden Gaze and the soulbound Gyrd Whatever Biteme Stenes.
