    You have way, way too much DEX. I'm on 79 DEX at lv 75 :P (Your dex should be your level + 4 only) And you don't have quite enough strength, and that added VIT can hinder you slightly. Unless you want to have 100+ levels of complete hell getting your other stats in sync with your massive dex, you will need to either make a new wizard (Cheaper, but takes longer) or buy a reset scroll (Costs a fair bit of Gold, but means you won't have to re-roll). As this was my first char, I first built him without looking at any builds or anything, and so was bound to make mistakes. I reset him to Proper LA, with 3 base vit.
    For your level (30) you should have (as a Light Armoured Wiz):
    92-94 Base Mag
    3-5 Base Vit
    34 Strength
    34 Dexterity

    You get 5 stat points per level. You need 35 points in dex, and another 6 points in str to wear LA at your level, so you need 9 more levels. By then, you'll be level 40, where you'll need 9 more points in dex and 9 more points in str, so 18 more points, minus the 4 left over points from before, so 14 points, which you can get in 3 more levels. Then you'll be 43, where you'll need another 5 points to catch up your str and dex, so you need another level, which would put you at 44.

    So there's your answer. It will take you until lvl 44 to be able to wear level appropriate LA. Isn't counting fun?

    hmmm why not go LA , lets seeeee, pure AA gets alot more damg than you , your magic defence will suck so other Pure AA will pwn you badly you do them nothing , the extra crit is nothing compared to the amount of mag damg that youll lose , youll be able to take 3 hits but LA sins and archers thell still kill you easily while you will do crappy damg to them and .... dude your a wizard your job is to hit mobs as hard as you can not tank them wearing LA theres a reason why wiz have a knockback skill and a tele skill , if you really want to wear LA so badly than go roll a sin . if you really want survival and alot more magic attack i suggest going AA vit mage but nonetheless pure AA is the best for endgame

    Because the wiz forum is full of LA bigots.

    Alot of what you said I disagree with, but "nonetheless" you fail to note that the OP isn't endgame and doesn't have any knock back skills at his level. Gosh, half of giving advice is to recognize WHO you are giving advice TOO!!!



    Light armor is fine as long as you don't mind buying a reset scroll at level 90 when you can wear the tt90 green arcane armor.

    There's a whole thread where me and Adroit went round and round about light armor vs arcane armor + vitality. I'll post the link here.

    Somethings wrong with the bracers on those builds. Arcane on the first LA, then heavy on the second LA.
    If your going to jack strength up that high on the second, might as well be HA instead of LA.

    Probably to be fair to, should do them lev 89.

    Oh you can still pwn as LA mage at high levels, anyone who's had supremequeen drop ulti on them will know that. You just need to devote your entire paycheck to the game for a while.

    I wish they would post their builds. I never see LA mages lvl 90+

    "supremequeen" on sanctuary? what faction?

    Regicide. Saw her in archosour and he had full LA nirvana refined to something like +8. Dunno what her main wep is as she was wearing +5 gorenox at the time. I do know she hits me for about 8-10k with BT though (I think non-crit but I was busy clicking respawn)...

    I heard SupremeQueen himself say once that he regretted staying LA. He makes up for the lack of magic/damage with having a 2nd cast nirvana weap with +20 atk lvl :D

    As for me, being LA helped me a lot while running BH with noobs and doing quests. I restatted at 80 tho, because pwcalc showed me too much of a damage difference between LA or AA. Besides that, when u get some okay gear with p res and get that multiplied by Stone Barrier you re not too far off of what an LA wiz would have. Plus that LA is squishy against magic.
    If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
    And you've not been hit by flying lead
    You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
    And wait for the ricochet.

    Yea, I'm toying with playing light armor, high channeling (gives mdef too) on my non-cash wiz on sanctuary (ok, I guess I have to stop calling it that, I just sold gold to buy a +5 neon last night for 50m, I couldn't pass it up). If I can ever find the right channeling ornaments cheap I might try it. Higher crit, higher pdef against archers/plume shot, faster channeling for ultimates might be damn fun in TW.

    But yea, if you are putting coin into nirvana, omg go arcane please.
