Best feats for a wizard?

[Bastila Shan]

Or do we know sort of feats there are yet?

[Kaos]

No idea how 5e works but.
Action Surge (I think you need levels in fighter)
Quicken Metamagic (You might need levels in sorcerer)

Then you can pull off 3 spells in your turn.

Unless perks are different from feats :P

Do you mean feats? Arcane traditions?

[Bastila Shan]

Yes feats

I dont think those are known yet.

Warcaster, otherwise disadvantage when something gets in melee range.

Feats are confirmed in Community update 8

"Classes evolve as you level up and each class presents plenty of opportunities for customisation. Once you hit level 4 for instance, you’ll get to select from a wide range of feats. Feats represent talents or an area of expertise that give characters special capabilities. They embody training, experience, and abilities beyond what your base class provides."

Also Warcaster because its fantastic for casters (although godly on clerics) Elemental adept if you find yourself against lots of things with resistances (mostly to fire) and Lucky because its just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fantastic

Warcaster lets you cast spells as Attacks of Oportunity, you are thinking of Crossbow Master (that has a weird interaction where ranged spells don't have disadvantage in melee)

It depends on what you want your wizard to do really. Is the goal battlefield manipulation, AoE, single target damage, themed around a particular kind of magic, sniping stuff thats hiding behind a bush, something more upfront and personal? There are so many options for making a wizard that there isnt really a "best" feat. I had an abjuration wizard with a few multiclass dips that found great use in combining heavy armor master with the shield you get from abjuration and armor of agathys. But its not as if most wizards can even wear heavy armor.

From the PHB, in terms of the most useful to the least useful:
War Caster is great if you either plan to go full sword + board wizard multiclass or if you don't plan to use a weapon at all but want a shield. You won't be able to access material components unless your weapon is an arcane focus. It's still good either way.
Edit: Forgot to mention, you will need to multiclass class to actually be trained to use a shield. So if you multiclass, you need this. If you do not, do not take this.
Elemental Adept can give you a focus in fire damage, of which there are many offensive choices available, that will ignore fire resistance, which many creatures have. Makes for a very good choice for a damage oriented wizard. This feat, imo, is probably better on a sorcerer though, since dealing damage isn't your primary job as a wizard, but it's still all-around great.
Resilient will give you an awesome boost to Con and proficiency, which coupled with War Caster will make your concentration far harder to break.
Tough increases your HP, you need those hit points.
Ritual Caster can give you a whole bunch of cleric spells.
Heavily Armored is something to also look into, as it gives you a huge AC boost.
Linguist and Keen Mind are fun for RP reasons.

Depends on what kind of mage you play as but the following are a good choice for wizards

Warcaster
Resilient
Keen mind
Elemental Adept (very nice as spells you cast ignore resistance to your chosen element type and You may take this feat multiple times, each time, you must select a different damage type.)

Ritual Caster (for access to non wizard rituals we choose 1st level + all we find less than 1/2 of our character level . ex cleric , warlock , druid , sorcerer rituals (we have wizard ones))

Spell Sniper

pole master (the reaction it gives if anyone try to get in pole range can be a spell like hold but not sure if it is implemented in game the reaction mechanic as in table where the player picks or if one gets to always use only one reaction he has pick )

Lucky

[willakadirk1]

if you mod the game or not?:)

anyway, hopefully we can see all the feats at level one and see what they did...humans still get a free feat right?
