Most Popular Wizard Builds
The top Diablo III Wizard builds and skills in patch 1.0.8, and the most used active skills and passive skills.
- These are the most popular Diablo III Wizard builds and skills used by level 60 Wizards in Patch 1.0.8 and the current patch 1.0.8a. They are calculated from data gathered on over 2 million Diablo III characters.
- The charts show the best Wizard builds for progression in Inferno, the top builds for getting Paragon Levels, and common builds for high DPS Monster Power farming. These are the builds chosen as Wizards have updated their build from playing in patch 1.0.6 or patch 1.0.7, to the current patch 1.0.8a.
- There are three sets of charts, updated daily: a chart of softcore Wizards with Paragon Levels from 0 to 49; a chart of softcore Wizards who have reached Paragon Level 50 to 100; a chart with hardcore Wizards regardless of Paragon Level.
- See the Popular Builds and Skills overview for more information on the data behind these charts. See the Most Popular Wizard Legendary and Set Items charts for the best gear used by the top Wizards.
