Diablo 3 is a very gear-driven game. In order to make it through Inferno, you’re going to need to understand the appropriate stats and gear to equip in order to give your wizard the best fighting chance of survival.

When gearing your wizard for inferno, keep in mind that there is a strategy for which stats you want to try to put in each slot. For the most part, amulets, weapons, offhands, rings, helms, bracers and gloves are all going to have some pretty powerful offensive stats for your wizard.

Conversely, most boots, belts, chest pieces, legs and shoulders are going to be a little weaker when it comes to offensive stats and thus make for good opportunities to stack more of your defensive stats.

Regardless of which gear slot you’re currently looking to purchase or upgrade, one thing to keep in mind is that intellect is always welcome anywhere you can get it, regardless of the item. With a benefit to both DPS and resists, it scales extremely well for wizards.

Ok, let’s get started. First, let’s take a look at the more offensive gear slots and discuss the stats you should be looking for with each.
