We have now moved this series to a new home since it’s been so long since the most recent update. Here is the link for the series. We will be working to update this over time!

What’s the best gear for a max level Fire Wizard (currently level 130)?We’ve seen this question many times, so we’ve provided our recommendations below, in a format to help you compare options.
We’ll take a moment to review our criteria first, since the “best” gear depends on your role and objectives.

Our Criteria
We consider the gear listed below the best for a max level Fire Wizard if you are:
- Questing by yourself (solo)
- Questing in a group & playing the role of a hitter, or
- Playing PvP in an offensive or traditional role
If you are questing in a group and playing a support role (i.e., buffing the wizard that is going to hit and/or healing) or if you are playing a very defensive PvP strategy, we assume you are more interested in global resist and outgoing healing. We suggest that you check out Cody’s guide on gear with the best outgoing healing, as it includes several high-resist gear options as well.
There are three types of recommendations, depending on your focus:
- Damage Focus
- Critical Focus
- Balanced
1. Damage Focus
Typically used against opponents with high block, such as bosses.
- Primary objective is to maximize damage
- Secondary objectives are power pips, accuracy and pierce
2. Critical Focus
Typically used against opponents with low block, such as mobs. Some PvP builds focus on high critical as well.
- Primary objective is critical
- Secondary objectives are damage, power pips and accuracy
3. Balanced
Typically used in PvP or against bosses that hit hard (e.g., Storm Titan anyone?):
- Primary objective is to provide decent damage and several helpful stats, including universal resist, power pips, accuracy, pierce and important jewel sockets
- Many balanced items contain some critical, although it’s typically not a “critical” objective (pun intended)
Gear Set Bonuses
Gear set bonuses provide stats in addition to whatever stats the gear provides, based on how many pieces of that set you’re wearing. We list relevant bonuses here so you can consider them when selecting gear for your Wizard.
