Diablo Immortal: The Best Raid Wizard Build
Isolated Storm Lightning Nova Orbit Wizard Guide
This build uses the Magic Missile primary attack with Lightning Nova, Disintegrate, Arcane Wind, and Slow Time. The Lightning Nova skill orbits you with the recommended Isolated Storm body essence and casts additional Lightning Novas when the enemy is Shocked with the Trifling Piffle offhand essence. The Terminus Facade helmet essence is also used to reduce the cooldowns of all of your skills every time you use a skill. Overall, this build is the best raid and single target Wizard build but it also requires you to be in melee range which means it's better suited for players with high resonance.

2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.
3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.
4. Fervent Fang - Gives a stacking damage increase on hit and increases your damage against elites and bosses.​

6. Viper's Bite - A nice gem for early on that deals high damage over time if you have low legendary gems and resonance.
7. Igneous Scorn (PvM) - Deals damage on critical hits and increases your damage after critical hits. Igneous Scorn is a low priority two star gem and should be the first two star gem to be replaced with a ranked up five star gem.
8. Crimson Behelit - Strong legacy gem for PvP with increased damage and reduced damage taken that's drop disabled.
​
Best 1 Star Legendary Gems
1. Berserker's Eye (PvM) - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.
2. Entropic Well - A strong budget one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.

4. Faltergrasp (PvP) - Disables opponents' dash skills when they receive a critical hit and reduces their movement speed.
Note: Berserker's Eye is an excellent one star gem that requires a high ranked up 5 star gem to match its damage.
​
Best Familiars
1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the Duskprowler lowers the cooldown of Savior.
2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.
3. Ash Sweeper - Ash Sweepers are strong, especially in PvP, because they damage nearby enemies and mark an enemy reducing their damage by 20% for 3 seconds. They can also have 170+ Resilience which reduces the cooldown of Savior.
4. Any Savior Familiar - You can optionally use any familiar with Savior for a cheat death that also has great passive skills.
5. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate gives a chance at resetting one of the player's skill cooldowns, Steel Hide gives more block chance, Precision gives the familiar's skill critical hit chance, and Tenacity lowers the cooldown of the Duskprowler absorb shield.
Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.
​
Normal Gems
Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and your highest refinement Citrines and Topaz in yellow sockets. You should also use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can also optionally combine all of your bound Rubies which give life into one or two Rubies and socket them in your equipment if they give more refinement which gives increased attributes on your set items.
​
Gem Notes
The new Fated Trail five star gem is a powerful legendary gem once you have high increased maximum life from Vitality and ranked up five star gems. The fairly new Haunt Coil five star gem can be used to increase your damage or reduce your damage taken by up to 45% for a duration. The Blood Floe five star gem is great when it's combined with multiple sources of increased critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Colossus Engine five star gem is strong because it provides high burst skill damage, increased area of effect, and increased movement speed from its size increase. The Seeping Bile five star gem can finish off opponents in PvP and it has the added benefit of slowing opponents. When using critical hit chance gems you should also consider rolling increased critical hit damage using Reforge Stones for more damage.​
