1) energy armor - prismatic if you got under 800 all res and under 4 or 4,5k armor unbuffed. Storm armor - shocking aspect if you got above 900 all res around 5k armor and ~1000 loh
2) front nova - also known as back nova or side nova, better used with bone chill rune
3) explosive blast, - chain reaction
4) diamond skin, - diamond shards if you got 2,74+ aps and 400+loh
lc) energy twister, wicked wind
rc) teleport, not really, I prefer Slow time - Time stretch, Great offencive-defencive spell, helps you reach needed aps breakpoint if you are missing some gear, mitigates incoming damage and very party friendly.
p1) cm, always
p2) cold blooded, I use blur instead, just preference
p3) evocation - still don't know if it's really needed with 2,74+ aps
and I know I can practice this setup without putting machines on the line, but I am curious about stats, like:
Is there a bare minimum crit chance you would recommend before attempting mp10 ubers? - preferably work in a group with another cm wizz or high damage barb. You need top notch cm/ww here to make some damage
What about APS minimums? 2,53 aps imo (in bubble)
How do I leech back all those hits they will sneak on me when I misclick and they are not frozen? - LoH from blackthorne pants and from jewelry
Can you post a quick item build as well? I have seen this setup, of course with cc, ias, res rolls where appropriate:
1) storm crow - bis would be crit mempo
2) tals plate - with all res and armor (or melee reduction)
3) tals ammy - very expensive with attack speed and cc, and you need ias. Better some cc/9ias/int/all res + LoH rare or tri-fecta Blackthornes
4) vile ward - yes
5) lacuni prowlers - yes, with crit chance and some defencive stats
6) witching hour - all res and +armor, added vita would be great. Maybe pickup radius or healthglobe bonus or phys/fire res.
7) innas temp - I don't like this slot, you are losing a lot of ehp, try to max out ias on all other slots
8) ice climbers - zuni all res/armor are bis here if you use good zuni ring
9) chantodo's will - search for one with .25 aps and socket or crit damage
10) chantodo's force - 8 apoc minimum
11) trifecta gloves yes, preferably with all res/armor
12) trifecta ring - some loh/all res would be great
13) zuni's pox - super expensive when tri-fecta, otherwise don't use it.
For merc I use scoundrel, enchantress is more popular though. My advice is to get perfect (9) ias on all slots possible and balance your ehp so you can use more offencive spells. Because on-screen dps is nothing for cm/melee.
