Best Wizard Weapons

Once you reach level 70 and have chosen a Build for your Wizard, you will want to start picking out the best weapons to complement it. Just like with the armor sets, the weapons are designed to enhance specific Skills from the Wizard’s arsenal, which we will mention in the Best Weapons section of this guide. Note that while some of these weapons work best for a particular build when they are equipped, others should be Cubed (their effect stored via Kanai’s Cube).

Wizard’s unique weapons are Wands (1-Handed).

Wizards will generally want to use a 1-handed weapon and a Source.
The specific best weapons will be based on the build you choose. You will always want to use a Flawless Royal Emerald on your weapon socket for the extra Critical Hit Damage.
