soj is superior for DPS against elites. And while that ias/cc is always going to be better for more frequent freezing, the loss is mitigated a bit if you get one that bumps your twister crit chance by 7.
soj is better overall if you don't have ass ehp/aren't grouping with people with ass ehp and don't die to random hits in the 10% of the time they're still not frozen. Otherwise, ias/cc ring is superior.
asume you have:
80ias gear
40 crit chance gear
1.4aps weapon*1.10weapon ias+0.25aps chantodo
300%crit damage
soj
total 3.22aps / 100%damage / 25%extra dps vs elites from soj / 45crit chance total+300%crit chance = 2.35crit multiplayer
3.22aps*40ticks per wicked = 128.8ticks per sec when casting wicked wind only
drop soj+take ring 9ias+6crit chance
(1.4*1.1+0.25)*1.89=3.38aps=45ticks per wicked wind
3.38*45=152.1ticks per sec when casting wicked wind only
51crit chance+300crit damage=2.53crit multiplyer
20-30%damage vs elites+other soj stats like max arcane and 6%ele damage
vs
18%more LoH(152.1/128.8)
+
18%more ticks /45*50crit=31%more dimant skin, 31%more chain reactions, 31%more benefits from critical mass
+
5%more wicked casting+7.7%more damage from crits = 13%more wicked wind damage
+
other stats on a rare ring, other then 9ias+6crit chance
ontop, since ias adds 300% instead of 100% bonus on wicked wind wizards, and since you wana go for the 3aps-3.334aps breakpoints
there are only 1-2items whitout ias allowed
for example, if you take soj, you not allowed to take a wizard hat whit apoc and loh, unless your run somekinda 2.5aps build, resulting in: +/-soj=-50%loh number(no loh ring+no loh helm)-18%loh triggery=-59%total heal
i would go for the ias+crit+loh ring!
