Diablo Immortal: The Highest Damage Wizard
Slow Time Lightning Nova Shock Wizard Guide
Autumnal Crest Shock Wizards use the Magic Missile primary attack with Slow Time, Lightning Nova, Disintegrate, and Ice Armor. Slow Time is altered to deal damage in an area around you and Shocks enemies which increases their lightning damage taken. Disintegrate deals lightning damage in an area around you with the Filtered Defense shoulder essence and releases chain lightning when hitting a Shocked enemy with the Raptor's Tail legs essence. Lightning Nova also casts a second time when hitting a Shocked enemy with the recommended essences. This build is the highest damage Wizard build and is the best choice for a Wizard speed farm build because it has high damage and movement speed.

2. Grace of the Flagellant (6 Set) - Deals additional damage after every 5 hits and has a 4% chance to deal high damage.​​
​

2. Wired - Useful for AoE to create a surge of lightning on kill that jumps between enemies on cooldown.
​3. Ghosted (PvP) - Optional for PvP to summon a minion to take some of your incoming damage.
​
Best 5 Star Legendary Gems
1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.
2. Golden Firmament - Deals wind damage and increases your evasion rating.
3. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.​
4. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, increased size (which also increases your movement speed), and knockback immunity for a medium duration with a 20 second cooldown.
5. ​Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage and stuns enemies in PvP inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.
6. Blood Floe - Lower priority 5 star gem that increases damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes bleed.
7. Maw of the Deep - Useful at a decent rank to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.
8. Void Spark (PvM) - Deals AoE damage that's very effective for challenge dungeons, terror rifts, and speed farming.
9. ​Seeping Bile (PvP) - Gives a 4% chance to poison enemies and slows enemies movement speed.
Note: The Mother's Lament two star critical hit chance legendary gem can be used with the new Blood Floe critical hit chance/critical hit damage legendary gem in the place of the Maw of the Deep gem at lower resonance levels.
Best 2 Star Legendary Gems
1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.
2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.
3. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.
4. Fervent Fang - Gives a stacking damage increase and increases your damage against elites and bosses.
5. Power & Command - Alternates between increased skill damage and increased primary damage and sometimes dispels.
6. Mourneskull - Strong legacy gem that increases your damage and deals damage but it's drop disabled.
7. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Strong PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.
Note: Viper's Bite isn't needed to trigger the damage increase on Pain Clasp from there being damage over time on the target because the Disintegrate skill with the Filtered Defense shoulder essence already deals damage over time.
​
Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems
1. Berserker's Eye (PvM) - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.
2. Entropic Well - A great budget one star legendary gem that increases your skill damage and attack speed.
​3. Everlasting Torment - A budget legendary gem that deals damage over time on critical hits and increases attack speed.
Note: Berserker's Eye is a great one star legendary gem that requires a high ranked up 5 star gem to match its damage.
​
Best Familiars
1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill for a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience is used to lower the cooldown of Savior but can be lower to make the familiar more affordable.
2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Look for Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.
3. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.
4. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.
Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.
​
Normal Gems
Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects durations in yellow sockets. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into one Ruby and one Topaz and use one of each in your equipment for higher refinement. Refinement from a normal gem increases the attributes of the piece of equipment the gem is socketed in. ​
​
Gem Notes
The Blood Floe gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The fairly new Colossus Engine legendary gem is great for builds that need increased area of effect, has knockback immunity, and gives increased movement speed from its size increase. The Specter Glass legendary two star gem is one of the best two star gems for almost every build. The Seeping Bile and Stormvault legendary gems can optionally be used in PvP to slow opponents and deal damage over time. Golden Firmament is a very strong 5 star legendary gem that gives wind damage, increased evasion rating, and triggers Firestorms when it's mixed with burning damage which increases your wind damage. Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament both give increased critical hit chance so you should consider rolling critical hit damage on every piece of your equipment with Reforge Stones when using these critical hit chance gems.​
