Battle Wizard/Builds

## General Playstyle

As a range damage career, Battle Wizard should always put Special killing as your first priority if your weapon/career skill set allows. Then depends on your choice of range weapon, focus on Elites or Horde Mobs until you reach a point where you need to vent. Or you have to switch to melee weapon to block or generate Temporary Health. Even with some builds that are designed to boost your melee damage, your range weapons are still better against high-density enemies. When there is a Boss on the field, clean Horde Mobs and Specials, then help your team deal with the Boss.

## Recommended Melee Weapon Choice

Depends on your build, Battle Wizard should choose different melee weapons for different purposes.

 Build Choice
Flamestorm Staff
Bolt Staff
Conflagration Staff

Your level 10 talent Volcanic Force boosts your fully charged range attack greatly. And level 30 talent Burnout can give you more time and space to charge them when enemies are rushing towards you. Or use it to chain stagger Elites/Boss twice in a row.

Prioritize killing Specials first. Then focus on Horde Mobs with your staff. Always fully charge your fireball. Keep your heat high to get 3 stacks of Reckless Haste passive, but not too high that overcharge slows you down. Then charge a fully charged fireball, and vent a bit. Use your melee weapon to generate Temporary Health when you have no health to vent. Or clean up some left alone armoured units. So choose melee weapons that have high damage against Armoured units. Use the double Firewalk to stagger high threat units, or reposition yourself.

Prioritize killing Horde Mobs and Elites with Infantry/Berserker armour first. Then melee Armoured units with your melee after they have fire DoT on them, so choose weapons with high damage on armour. Though it is still better to use your staff when there are multiple Armoured units unless they are Chaos Warrior. Use the double Firewalk to stagger high threat units, get close and safely kill Specials and reposition yourself.
