Wands are one-handed weapons used by spell-casters in Diablo III. These are not class-specific items, but it seems that only [[Wizard]]s and [[Witch Doctor]]s can equip them. [[Barbarian]]s, [[Monk]]s, and the [[Fifth Character]] are not permitted to equip or use wands.

[[Wands]] are ranged weapons that can only be equipped by [[Wizards]] in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls.

Wands are ranged weapons that can only be equipped by Wizards in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls. These are comparable to other melee weapons in damage and generally have a faster attack speed, plus they may spawn with various Wizard-themed affixes, such as increased maximum or faster regeneration of Arcane Power.

Though Wands look like Melee Weapons, the game actually classifies them as Ranged Weapons since if a Wizard attempts to cast a spell with a wand equipped and insufficient Arcane Power, the default attack is the ranged Wand Throw. This keeps the Wizard standing in place and attacking with a ranged projectile, rather than running up to the target to hit it melee style.
