it's not bad , a socket wouldgive u 29 cd more with a radient star emerald

crit and socket is not possible , so yeah nice deal

dps could be higher tho 12xx one would be nice

29 more cd is not worse 200 more millions. And I bought it for my last gold, had to borrow 1,5 million gold and sell perfect star emerald from my old weapon. Auction had like 1d10h, was clearly a snipe seing prices on comparable wands.

So how much loh is enough for melee wizz?

Pre patch I was just solo archon, but since the patch, I've had to adjust my wiz but I can go both archon or CM/WW build now, and just farm MP5

When I play solo I use WW/frost nova to bring archon back up, in team play I'll just go all melee wiz build.

My next upgrade that I'm looking for is a better weapon that is faster and a new source following that.

This is my bnet profile for my wiz, it's set up for solo play, any suggestions on what to change/improve would help. It's not updated atm since I just bought a int/crit lacuni.

My other ring is

I just want a wizard build that doesn't make me constantly mash the keyboard like a retard.

somebody got lucky with a craft, huh

Well for a melee wizzard your wizzard won't work at all. I really struggled after patch with 1.91 aps 46,5 cc 16 apoc. I found a way for a melee wizzard to work, I started spamming lighting affinity inbetween explosive blasts/twisters/novas. But mp4-5 in party was still not going smoothly. I managed to grab an awesome chantodo from ah (you can see it few posts up) so my APS went from 1,91 to 2,08 and my apoc went to 19. Everything started to going smooth, spamming signature spell is now just for extra damage or ranged mobs and difference is immense.

So first of all, get a fast wand with apoc, you will need around 2 aps 18+apoc to run comfortably. Get more res, I am afraid andy face despite delivering more damage is not a super good idea since it laacks all res/+armor/apoc (or even +Loh from stormcrow) and it makes you take more fire damage which is a disaster for melee wizz.

Has anyone done any tests to see what's more effective for xp?
I did some runs at mp3-5 with cm or archon build and mp3 with archon gives more xp/hour..

K thanks for the advice, I think I'm just gonna stick with farming mp5 with archon solo though.

Hi mates. Now im with this build, at the moment works fine, really. MP3 without any problem, i have to test in mp5-6.

1º.- Shock Pulse (Living Ligthing). This is a crap in dmg, but it´s not the better of this hability. With this and 10-20 apoc, we see the ap every stay in max. In adition, with aroun 750-100 LOH, our life dont go down.

2º.- Meteor (Meteor Shower). This is the main hability to recall with crit. A lot of dmg, life from LOH, Crits and ap. It´s works nearly perfect.

3º.- Ice Armor (Crystallize). Now, the prismatic works as crap. With this, the dmg reduction go to 12% plus 90% armor of rune.

4º.- Slow Time (Stretch Time). This is a help hability. The ias help you with more crits, LOH and dmg. And the slow effect its fine.

5º.- Frost Nova (Cold Snap). No more explain.

6º.- Diamond Skin (Crystal Shell). No more explain.

Passive:

- Critical Mass.

- Blur.

- Cold Blooded.

Possible changes:

* Shock Pulse => Blades (healing or deep cuts). I still thinking that Shock Pulse is faster, not to kill, really, but we don´t want it for this, the Meteor-solo works fine for this.
* Meteor (Meteor Shower) => Meteor (Liquify). I have tested with this and i prefer the shower, a lot more crits and more area.
* Slow Time => Teleport (Worm Hole). Perhaps, if you have a good stats and items, to farm more quickly.
* Diamond Skin (Crystal Shell) => Diamond Skin (Shards). Again, if you have a good cc and armor/res, perhaps its better to kill fast.


I have tested the passive "conflagation" with Meteor Shower, but i think that the dmg not stack. Opinions of this? Some item to upgrade of my character?

Thx a lot

interesting might have to try that out.

currently i have regeared my cm wiz so far so that she reaches 2.02 atk speed before stretch time, 20apoc, 37% cc

for skills im using energy twister with reduce cost and chain reaction eb, nova with bone chill, diamond skin crystal skin. i use storm armor with the last rune for added dps. passives are cm, cold blooded, and astral prescense. so far i can pump out a lot of twisters and reset cool downs fairly consistently.

i have messed around with an arcane cm build; magic missile with split rune and meteor with comet rune. cm, temp flux, arcane dynamo for passives seemed to work but needs more testing.

Arcane dynamo perhaps in my build works fine. The Living lightning hits very fast, and one cast of this could get the 5 stacks and a good good meteor
