Wand Magus?

[rangerjeff]

Anybody try this build yet?

Taking Extra arcana at 3 and both Wand arcana, you get to use your Int to boost the wand DC, and can use wands as part of spell combat. Activating a wand doesn't provoke an AoO, so this could be a big improvement for spell combat. Sounds like it has great potential to me, any thoughts?

works well with staff magus too .

I'm a big fan of the Wand Wielder Arcana, not a fan of Wand Mastery. Reasoning I don't like Wand Mastery is most of those spell's you have wands for require no saving throws.

This might be different from what you're plans are but I suggest you look at which type of wands you're planning on using and seeing if the spells stored in them require a saving throw or not.

My Wand Wielder Magus uses a Wand of True Strike, stored inside his weapon with the spell Weaponwand. I saw no reason to pick up Wand Mastery, but if you do, go for it.

Sure, go for it. Just remember you can't spellstrike any spell you store in that wand and you won't have any issues.

... that might be a problem. Although the only spell I was thinking about using with spellstrike is Frostbite (fatigue, no save).

Other than that, yeah, Truestrike is good, but I also like Hydraulic Push (attack, push back, 5 ft step back, never take full attacks, vs CMD), Mudball (blind then attack, vs Reflex), Vanish (attack then go invisible for a round), or Web Bolt. As cheap 1st level spam. 2nd level spells? Using an arcana to get specialized spells from the wizard's list? Haven't looked.
