I prefer making my wizard a Githyanki and abjuration school, 2h sword for melee and use of mage armor for arcane armor+ tadpole reflect power. I feel it has better survivability.
Yeah, that's a solid direction to go in. You lose out on
Darkvision, and the ability to wear
medium armor, and the ability to cast
evocation without harming companions in range but you are def better protected.
I feel like the build I put together is designed to weld protection and aggressive casting into a single build - which is something lost on abjuration builds.
