Coming back to the game, wondering about Wiz

Hello all, I am just getting back into DDO after almost 3 years off. One of my friends is getting back into it as well. He has a level 17 WF Wizard that he is looking to play to 20 and then hopefully go on from there. He's not sure if his build is any good anymore in the current game, so I was wondering what the standard Evocation Wizard build looked like these days. Thanks!


Also, if an Evocation focused Wiz is not very reliable these days, what suggestions would you have for builds he can run? I should add he's not very interested in a PM at the moment.

Evoker wizard works just fine in elite / low skull reaper heroic content. The SLAs are fairly strong. Having some CC obviously can help.

Wiz got some help from SLAs, so it sucks less than it used to.

However, Reaper mode nerfs self heals, so now Warforged builds suck more han they used to.

Either way, it's still workable in low skull content. Make sure to bring Web and Charms.

Thank you all for the information. I'm wondering what the standard Archmage/Evocation enhancement path would kind of look like as well if anybody knows. I've also read that Enchantment focus seems to be pretty common when taking the Archmage path? Correct me if I'm wrong.

They might not love you, but spamming charms is a lot funnier than spamming holds.

Don't know about you but I've seen those Charmed Carnage reapers, hot damn! Also, some of the champs like Shadow Marked, pretty boss.
