Main hand weapon for spell casters

Hello fellow spell casters.

Just a simple question. Are wands worth picking up or pistols are just way better with how overpowered they are?

Currently I play as a bow user but I am thinking of creating a pure spell caster for my second playthrough.
Is it worth even investing in wands or just pick up a gun and focus on grimoire and spells as a main damage source?

Hmm, if it is your second playthrough - maybe check what abilities unique wands and pistols have? I think they are more important than just straight weapon type.

I was using wands but quickly switched to guns....i am not even sure about one being more overpowered than the other, i just found wands kind of boring, but guns way more satisfying. It's not like the game is overly difficult, so i suppose if your only reason to use guns because they are overpowered, just go with the wand and have fun with it. No need to min/max in this game, just roll with whats fun and its all good.

It's not really about min/max'ing. I just feel like a Harry Potter (in a negative way) when I use wands in this game but I was just curious if thet start being fun later on?

Guns right from the start can oneshoot enemies but I find bows more graceful.

I'm using a spear as my main hand weapon as a mostly caster hybrid.

It's almost like a staff, with a knife on the end.

Dagger & shield. Keep it simple, keep it lightweight and use the nasty crits.

Wands kind of suck early on IMO, but once you get the two bonuses to power attacks that unlock at level 5- bouncing and AoE damage- they get a lot better.

Of course, you can always have a wand and grimoire in one weapon set and a pair of pistols or pistol and second grimoire in the other. That's what I'm doing and it works great.
