As a Wizard, what weapons and item attributes are worth picking up?

Question

Playing as a wizard, should I worry about the type of weapon that I am using? (E.g., 1-handed vs 2-handed, wand vs dagger/axe)

What item attributes (on armor, jewelry, and weapons) would benefit Wizards the most? (E.g., Intellect, vitality, life-leech, reduced ranged damage, life per hit, chance on hit: [effect], health regen)

Answer

Always check out armor to see if it's better than the armor you currently have. Look for items that increase your stats, especially intelligence (Wizard's primary attribute.) Also, Wizards can use wands and staffs and various other weapons, so look for those as well.

Eventually you will probably want to start picking up only magic (blue) and rare (yellow) items as these sell for much more gold (tens or hundreds instead of 2 or 3) than regular weapons. Also, these can be salvaged by the blacksmith to get crafting supplies which can be used to craft better weapons in time.
