I want to know the general experience of players with wands, and the general utility u find on them.
The best wand user its obviously a pure lv20 artificer.
Trying to use every wands available and many activated itens prior to lv 20 capstone and after, i just found utility in Searing Light and Ligthning wands. They both do decent dmg in R1 if u are an arcane caster type, they are an option to certain enemies and conserve your spell points.
Post lv 20, when u get Artificer capstone, it was a surprise to me that Phantamal Killer Wands are uber effective for leveling. U can buy them at twelve and they kill absolutely anything up to lv 28 (not sure how SR and DC is calculated, but i belive my spell pen from past lives helps) with a CD much shorter than the actual spell. Using no SP! Low lv epics like Sentinels chain and VON are very easy using those wands.
Epic and Legendary wands on the other side are not useful except for Cacophonic verge, which can stun enemies in the area, and dmg can proc epic mantles. (Using primal this is actually effective because sonic dmg has a separate cd timer). Wand maximize its not enough to do decent dmg with brimstone verge and winter wrath.
Overall I wish that more wands become available like prismatic spray, finger of death and hold monster. Lv9 spells could be available from chests.
For all items that cast spells, I did not find any utility at all in R1 leveling, besides some summons like Shard of Xoriat and Wolf Whistle.
