Wizard Signature Skills Lacking in Variety


Classes


By design, your class dictates which skills allow you to reach Legendary proficiency.

Also by design, every class can only reach Legendary proficiency in a maximum of 3 different skills, at 15th, 17th, and 19th level.

Currently, Wizards get access to a mere two Signature class skills: Arcana and Craft. Outside of these, only Lore may be advanced to Legendary.

Note that no other class receives as few Signature skills as a Wizard, and only Alchemists get as few trained skills (and are also coincidentally an Intelligence class too).

Alchemist: 3 (2+Int trained)
Barbarian: 3 (3+Int trained)
Bard: 7 (7+Int trained)
Cleric: 5 (5+Int trained)
Druid: 4 (4+Int trained)
Fighter: 3 (3+Int trained)
Monk: 3 (3+Int trained)
Paladin: 4 (4+Int trained)
Ranger: 6 (6+Int trained)
Rogue: 10 (10+Int trained)
Sorcerer: 5 (5+Int trained)
Wizard: 2 (2+Int trained)

So it would appear that, for a 19th level Wizard, they have the dubious joy of reaching Legendary in Arcana, Craft and a single type of Lore, with zero other options within their reach outside of multiclassing.
