As a standard we are going to be picking [[Wizard#Perks|Meditation]] for regenerating our spells and [[Wizard#Perks|Spell Memory]] to cast those spells. When it comes to perks we have [[Wizard#Skills|Arcane Mastery]], [[Wizard#Skills|Quick Chant]], [[Wizard#Skills|Ice Shield]], and last spot is flexible but I recommend [[Wizard#Skills|Reactive]] Shield for a little bit more defense. Make sure to use your Meditation in spots where you will not be spotted!
Second Wind:
 
Take Second Wind on Q. Since Second Wind has a one time limited usage it happens a lot that you press E accidently and waste the Skill. So make sure to switch the skills.
 
You can reload Second Wind at campfires it has the equivalent of a level 7 Spellslot. So a grey Campfire doesn´t recharge it.
 
 
Sprint:
 
Take Sprint on E. This Skill is on a low cooldown and should be spammed frequently, even against pve. Most people use this skill only to engage and chase enemy players, but often times it is better to use this skill to run away and prepare a reengage or shoot from the distance.

Weapon Mastery:
===Armor and Weapon===
 
As a starter you do not need anything fancy and you can do this build with a little bit of gold. First of all you will need a [[Weapons#Magicals|Crystal Ball]] and [[Weapons#Daggers|Rondel] Dagger]] which are purchasable through [[Alchemist]] and [[Weaponsmith]] respectively.
The core perk for this build, since it allows you to use bows and crossbows. It is also the best beginner Perk because you can use the first weapon you find.
===Play Style===
 
It is extremely important that you gather information about the opposing team. If you are solo you need to play in and out style like a rogue. However, if you have team mates you can go in take one and leave causing disruption while your team pushes in. Your main weakness will be close range high damage dealing classes like Rogues and Barbarians.
 
Combo Attack:
 
Helps your damage output and gives you faster pve clears.
 
 
Swift:
 
Highly recommended, when wearing heavy armor. Otherwise use other perks.
 
 
Projectile Resistance:
 
Great Perk for pvp. Helps you fight Rangers, Wizards and other Bow Fighters. Also protects from throwing Knives and Franchisca Axes.
 
 
Counterattack:
 
Gives Attack and Movement Speed. Especially good against enemy players with two handed weapons.
 
===Weapons===
Recommended 1-hand Weapons: [[Arming Sword|'''Arming Sword''']]; '''[[Falchion]]'''; '''[[Rapier]]'''; [[Flanged Mace|'''Flanged Mace''']]; [[Morning Star|'''Morning Star''']]; [[Horsemans Axe|'''Horsemans Axe''']]

Recommended Ranged Weapons: '''[[Longbow]]'''; [[Recurve Bow|'''Recurve Bow''']]; '''[[Crossbow]]'''; [[Windlass Crossbow|'''Windlass Crossbow''']]


As an engage you need to use Haste -> Ignite -> Invisibility and sneak to their backline and hopefully pickup a cleric, mage or a ranger kill. Then quickly cast another invisibility to flea to safety or continue attacking their backline depending on their team composition.
===Armor===
Recommended Head: [[Barbuta Helm|'''Barbuta Helm''']]; [[Visored Barbuta Helm|'''Visored Barbuta Helm''']]; [[Leather Cap|'''Leather Cap''']]; [[Kettle Hat|'''Kettle Hat''']]; '''[[Armet]]'''


When it comes to dealing with enemy mini bosses you can use Ignite + Magic Missile combo to deal a lot of damage.


You can also play as a support mage buffing your team mates with Ignite and Haste.
