  2. Constitution: Enhances survivability by improving health and resistance to physical damage.

  3. Wisdom: Boosts Mana pool and regeneration, allowing for better resource management.

Recommended Gear:

  • Armor: Wear cloth armor and arcane shields for magical protection.

  • Weapons: Equip daggers, staves, quarterstaffs, long staffs, or scythes to boost spell power.

  • Accessories: Prioritize gear that enhances Intellect and Constitution for better performance and durability.
