Control Wizards primarily focus on controlling the battlefield and dealing damage to a large number of creatures simultaneously. Because of the wizard's role as a controller, they possess more crowd control options than any other class. Their ability to deal high amounts of damage gives them the secondary role of striker. They wield a magical orb and are capable of unleashing torrents of damage on enemy parties. They can only wear cloth armor.

 

Your mastery of the arcane arts allows you access to an additional Encounter power slot to a total of four while other classes have three. Encounter powers slotted in your Spell Mastery slot gain additional effects. Be sure to read each power before slotting it to make full use of the Control Wizard's vast arsenal of spells.
