Pool of the item type from the game files, version 2.8.0. Skill damage bonuses only carry weight for their class. All properties of this slot

The most powerful of wizards will find themselves richly rewarded by their studies. This hat is for those who like to display their power in a more elegant fashion.

The Magistrate

This wizard hat turns your Hydras into genuine control-and-damage machines: they now periodically cast Frost Nova and hit considerably harder. For the Wizard this means your deployed hydras no longer just tick away passively, they actively freeze enemies and open up their own source of crowd control.

Especially in Hydra builds that already rely on keeping the serpents planted, this is a double win of more damage and more safety. My tip: position your hydras so that several enemy groups sit within the Frost Nova radius. That freezes entire packs while the heads pour out their boosted damage undisturbed.

What the 250 to 300% bonus covers

The damage bonus applies to your Hydras only, not to the rest of your damage. It rolls between 250 and 300%; a copy at 257% sits at the low end, while a Primal Ancient brings the full 300%. Since the hat draws all its value from the Hydras, it only makes sense when they carry a large part of your damage - as an add-on to a different main attack, the bonus mostly goes to waste.

Stats on the Wizard Hat

Wizard Hats are reserved for the Wizard. Only a socket is fixed; on top comes Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence at 626 to 750 points, and only Intelligence helps you here. For the remaining slots, look for Critical Hit Chance and Vitality, plus a resistance such as Fire Resistance. If the hat has the wrong main stat, the Mystic can re-enchant it - but that leaves no re-enchant for Critical Hit Chance.

What The Magistrate is worn with

The Magistrate is often combined with Serpent's Sparker, Winter Flurry, Fragment of Destiny, Tasker and Theo, Squirt's Necklace and Halo of Karini. The flavor text has a sense of humor: the most powerful wizards are richly rewarded by their studies already, and this hat is for those who like to display their power in a more elegant fashion.
