[Thriand]

I run a sorcerer instead of a wizard but my ideal setup would be the same. I can't believe how many people don't use the Boots of the innocent or the Torc in their ideal setup.

Head: Minos
Cloak: Stormreaver Napkin/ Jungle Cloak clickie
Gloves: +6 dex/7 fingered/vile blasphemy
Ring 1: Con +6
Ring 2: Free slot (I switch between concentration +15/thelis/FF of jump +11/many many more)
Belt: Belt of Brute Strength (switch to Proof against Poison of GFL and disease immunity of GFL situationally)
Neck: Torc/Silver Flame Talisman/Noxious Embers
Wrist: Shroud SP item
Weapon 1: Superior Potency VI
Weapon 2: spellcasting stat +3 shroud item
Boots: BOOTS OF THE INNOCENT!!! (switch to Kundarak Delving situationally)
Robe: Blue dragonscale (its the only way to get max spellcasting stat/ sup potency VI / Greater arcane lore at the same time)
Trinket: Head of Good Fortune/ Litany of the Dead/ Pouch of Jerky clickie
Goggles: Shroud HP item (make sure at least one shroud item is concordant opposition)

Does nobody value an item with +concentration? I find it extremely valuable having a very high Concentration skill(High 30's low 40's IIRC). I very rarely get interrupted. Also, why are people so hung up on Forification? Thats why you get blur/stoneskin/displacement/CC spells....Wizards are not meant to get hit often like a tank, although I am very much a twitch player and do bounce around like some Quake master while casting.

I very rarely get interrupted.

hmm I'd like to see you pass a concentration check while getting crited by elite mobs, theres no reason you can't have both if you want them.

I am not saying that I do not get hit, I am saying that when I do my concentration very rarely fails me. Also, there are many items you could substitute instead of Heavy Fort that could benefit your build.

Your meant to prevent damage, so a poorly played wizard is often being hit, therefore relying on heavy fortification. Heavy fort is useful don't get me wrong, but I do not believe that it is an essential piece of loot. Concentration can be interrupted by spells also, fortification can't help there.



Also, I run all the raids on elite. In NONE of them is heavy fort essential.

-Jesen

[Xyfiel]

In theory, nothing is essential, I am sure I could run my wizard with no items on at all but a basic robe and none magic weapons and no one would probably notice.

Now for my arcane trickster, ac/defense/evasion>concentration.
