Dark wizards attack with magic. In different locations, dark wizards use different spells. At the stone circle south of Varrock, they cast either Water Strike and a pre-EoC version of Confuse, or Earth Strike and the pre-EoC version of Weaken. The Wilderness versions are similar, but also sometimes use a melee attack. The wizards in the Dark Wizards' Tower can cast Water Strike, Fire Strike, and a pre-EoC version of Curse.
Warriors attacking in metal armour will not have an effective defence against the wizards' spells. However, rangers with ranged armour would have an advantage. Mage-to-mage duels are also effective. Note that dark wizards cast magic at a slightly faster rate than players normally do. This difference can be observed by autocasting spells on them.
The wizards sometimes will constantly cast Confuse or Weaken on a player until the spell is successful. Since their casting is generally inaccurate on players with decent magic defence, they tend to do very little damage for long periods of time.
