Best PVP Control Wizard Build / Gear

nilya91

I've looked into the forums for a while for an answer, and it's been bugging me a lot now that I have reached Icewind Dale finally....

What do you guys think about getting the best geared up CW for PVP? I'm only running HV set on my CW, and I was wondering if it's worth getting a gear specifically for PVP.

I'm only a few weeks old in NW, so I only have 1 character that hit level 60 so far, and I know a lot of people don't use CW for pvp, but I wanna give it a go still....

I would really like some suggestions what I can do to improve my CW; PVE and PVP-wise.... If I could use my HV set my advantage during PVP or I should just change everything for PVP....

Here's my CW so far....



In my HV's Cap and Gloves I have Dark Enchantment Rank 7's,

HV's Tunic Azure Enchantment Rank 7 and Lesser Soul Forged Enchantment,

Orb and Talisman I have Dark Enchantment Rank 8 and Brutal Enchantment Rank 7 respectively,

HV's Slippers Dark Enchantment Rank 7, Ancient Rings Brutal Enchantment Rank 7's, Necklace Brutal Enchantment Rank 7,

Ancient Fugitive's Belt Radiant Enchantment Rank 8, Shirt and Pants Brutal and Azure Enchantment Rank 7's......

I also have a Stone of Allure for PVE, with 2 Empowered Runestone Rank 7 in the offense slot, 1 Profane Runstone Rank 7 in defense slot, Ancient Slavemaster's Ring with Radiant Enchantment Rank 7, Ancient Excorcist's Necklace of Blessing Dark Enchantment Rank 7 and Greater Icon of Retribution with Dark Enchantment Rank 7 as well.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Yes, you have to change everything for PVP. For starters you need minimum 30k HP. So trade out the defensive Azures for Radiants and get rings with defense sockets and put Radiants in those too. The lvl 58 Amulet of Lashing Storms is a CW-only neck piece that has a defensive socket, you may consider using that too. Second you need gear that has tenacity. That is either the Grim/Profound gear or the Black Ice gear. If you go with the Black Ice gear, use the Purified set, much more defensive. But honestly, if you want to actually enjoy yourself in PVP, roll another toon. CW's are the worst class at the moment for PVPing.

There are two type of pvp CW players.

HC CW pvp with
-32-35k+ HP
-16-18+ CON/DEX
-1500+ reg
-lots of tenacity
-2500+ arp &not so much power
-corrupted/purified/prof. thaum set +w. set
-pvp wise build

and there are the majority of CWs who does PVE in the first place and just swap armor/jewelry for corrupted/grim thaum armor w/o real defense and try to shoot someone before they reach us.
