Best Diablo 3 Wizard Builds Season 26: Soul Shard, items, skills & followers

If spell-slinging is your preferred method of demon-slaying then check out our best Diablo 3 Wizard builds for Season 26. 

Diablo 3’s Wizard is the successor to Diablo 2’s Sorceress and is even a returning class from the original Diablo. The Wizard is your typical magic build as opposed to a tank or ranger style character, and those new to Diablo 3 and often prefer to play as mages will take to the Wizard instantly.

The class is easy to learn, but the real fun comes from mastery. If you’re playing Season 26 of Diablo 3 and want the best possible Wizard build then you’ve come to the right place. Here’s how to ruin Diablo’s day with an elemental assault.

Is the Wizard right for me?

The Wizard is for those who want to play as a classic elemental caster. The class represents all standard RPG magic users without the complications and quirks of some of Diablo 3’s other playable characters. Although, this isn’t a criticism, as the Wizard is capable of some truly devastating attacks.

The Wizard is often weak up-close, being somewhat of a glass cannon. Players who select the Wizard will need to keep moving and not get bogged down by enemies. However, in the right hands, and with the right build, the class is one of the deadliest in all of Diablo 3.

If blasting enemies with elemental death from a distance is your thing, then the Wizard is right for you.

Is the Wizard good in Diablo 3 Season 26?

According to the very reliable Maxroll.gg’s key farming tier list, the Wizard is ranked with an S in Season 26 which is nothing to sneeze at. This means that the Wizard is indeed considered desirable throughout Season 26 of Diablo 3.

Follower

It’s tempting to hire the Templar when playing as a Wizard. That’s because Kormac can tank his way through the game, giving your Wizard space to fire their spells while he holds off the hordes of Hell on the front line.

However, Maxroll.gg recommends bringing the Enchantress along with you for long-range support. Her buffs also help your build inflict mass damage while staying out of reach from demons.

Frozen Orb unleashes some devastating icy spells on your enemies and it replaces the Hydra spell for the Arcane Orb.
