The playstyle for the Dark Arts Build relies on mainly using the Unforgivable Curses as well as some Damage Spells. In keeping with the bloodthirsty nature of dark wizards, this build is more suited to those that won't be sneaking around enemies and instead engaging them head-on.
Apart from the Unforgivable Curses, Confringo and Diffindo will be your main Spells while making sure to upgrade the appropriate Talents as you level up to improve their effects.
As for gear traits, you can further improve your offense with Concentration III, Unforgivable III, and Cruelty III to maximize the potential of your spells.
Players can use the transmog option to maintain the look of a Dark Arts wizard by switching their appearance to the gear listed above without having to keep any items that give inferior stats.
