Skill build

The most important skills for a Wizard to get regardless of role are Storm Gust, Meteor Storm, Safety Wall, Jupitel Thunder A wizard build purely for precasting is likely to get Lord of Vermillion as well as Waterball for specific castles. Firewall is also useful to activate the 50% less cast time effect from Isilla card and help create hitlock during a precast or even help strip Kaite.

Wizard builds are flexible in that a PVP or PVM High Wizard can be used decently in War of Emperium.
