If you do not wish to play with a Shield, consider playing with Dual Wands and taking the Parry Master Talent for increased Dodge Chance. Look for Wands with Crit Chance and Intelligence to further increase your damage. Scourge Wizards will use a Wand in their main hand, as they deal exclusively Magic Damage. These are your defensive Skills that allow you to sit in harm’s way and live. This will help increase your Magic Armour as well. However, things don’t always go according to plan, which is why I suggest using a Shield anyway.

They will rely upon Uncanny Evasion and and Chameleon Cloak to prevent Physical Damage, so they do not need to worry about Physical Armour as much. Much like the Stormchaser, Scourge Wizards want to stack Intelligence-based Armour in order to prevent as much Magic Damage as they can. Constitution is only needed if you use a Shield, which I recommend, but the investment will be minimal regardless. You want to increase Intelligence to improve the overall damage of your spells, you want to have enough Memory to have the Skills that you want, and you want to have enough Wits that you are the first member of your party to act (unless you have a Summoner). Be sure to take Torturer as your Talent! Scourge Wizard Attributes and EquipmentĪttribute-wise this Build is quite straight forward.

You can take the Wizard preset and change it to this in order to get the best starting setup.
