Decent 1H weapon for Wiz

[Garyn]

I know I know I know... why does a Wizard need a weapon? Hear me out for second.

I generally solo and try to conserve mana as much as possible and I don't mind chasing down the threat when they start to run. As I am about to reach level 30 it's time to upgrade my smoldering brand to something better without spending 2k.

Anyone have suggestions for a decent 1H weapon for a Wizard that goes for under 2k?

[Muggens]

Don't :D

[Lojik]

Wizard weapon skill is awful. Even with a decent ratio weapon you won't approach the efficiency of just medding and nuking.

Just sub in your staff of temperate flux to hit fleeing mobs.

Dont waste time with a melee weapon. Sell the brand and get a Solist's Icy Wand to finish mobs.

At level 30 and higher it's for sure faster to med and cast a nuke, but if for whatever reason you want to do that anyway save for a Velium Crystal Staff I guess.

Sometimes you don't want to sit (e.g. Might aggro extra adds or you have something else beating you). In such situations I switch to my Lost Staff of the Scorned (it's 2hb though).

But doesn’t that port you when it procs?

It's a click. It's amazing item. The best. Great melee. All the way from 1-16. Even higher when you have to. In the 40s and up? Mana free port to a wizard friendly city. Very good friends. Lovely city. 18 seconds, zero mana. For the whole group!

Just do some ports for a couple weeks.

I am very disappointed with my rod of annhilation at the moment. It used to hit for 200+ semi-regularly. Now it's just 20-30 all the time. God forbid a caster should be able to melee for 15 dps.

get the icy wand for mobs that like to run at 1-2% , or the really annoying ones who live at 0% and like to run.

The annoying ones who run at 0% and then cast a self heal

Yeah although many years back I recall it procing on red. Few dictate pulls of king camp fixed that. When it procced item would take the mob to safe coordinates for zone.

Not fun to zone into.
