Hi wizzy's gurus,
i just lvl'd my wizard to 60 and bought her a cheap equip (around 8M) to try the "Meteor Build",
ofc i do not expect anything atm since my equip is so mid/low end, i just wanted to ask you what should i upgrade first and if the build is correct or not :)

Atm 2.0 APS, 41% CC, 27-28 APoC

Thanks a lot!


Never played this build, looks like fun. Are you sure you don't want to use another offensive spell? Some signature spell with apoc on hit? Or maybe Frost Hydra to utilize Cold Blooded? I would suggest using meteor shower - procs more than liquefy if I recall correctly. And if you got anything left, you can buy soj with meteor reduction.

just built a cm wiz..wondering if there's any input you guys can give me? suggestions? using different skills? I'm hoping to solo mp10 ubers with this wiz.. thanks

* other than gems..


My suggestion is using Arcon build. Your gear is not viable to play cm/ww. For cm/ww you need Chantodo's set with apoc. Your mh+oh combo is perfect for solo arcon runs. Half is your gear has to be changed in order to play cm/ww and run mp10 ubers (main hand, off-hand, chest, right ring + amulet, helmet), however to successfully farm mp3 solo you just need to change your skills to arcon build, that's all. Here are the skills you need: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#VQjmST!gfb!YZaZcY

Hey guys, just sold a couple things and bought a starter setup for my wiz. Still having a little trouble surviving certain things so any advice? Gear wise I'm currently low after buying all this but Im looking at getting lacuni,new left ring, then int witching as next few upgrades.

at least 18 apoc, dude, your setup won't do if you want to go cm/ww road. Buy storm crow or apoc chantodo's force, storm crow would be much cheaper however.

Well i still have to try it "correctly", i'd like to know too which rune of Meteor procs better, the upside of liquefy is that, if it crits, lava lasts 8sec and each tick has its own chance to proc APoC.
I'm still working on the build cause it's far from my idea of "working as intended" :p
My problem is how to rise further my CC without spending 60-70M+ on a CC Tal Amu... (i tried to search rares with similar stats too but my DPS would drop so much!!)

How much could cost a Chantodo like mine with socket?

edit: i've found this table about Meteor's proc:

Quote
Meteor
In Patch 1.0.5 Meteor proc coefficients have been reduced across the board, and the delay between cast and hit and arcane power cost has been reduced as well. I doubt this skill will work into primary rotation but its much more viable for ordinary play (still kind of lack luster for CM builds). The proc coefficients listed below are per target hit on initial impact, and for each target per tick in the DoT left behind.

•Runeless – .125
•Molten Impact – .125
•Star Impact – .106
•Meteor Shower – .050 * 7 Meteors
•Comet – .125
•Liquefy – .106

bought 200 av damage 9 apoc Chantodo's Force for merely 45 mill and random 5 crit Storm Crow for 16 millions. It's really weird but I feel that despite reaching 3.0 aps in bubble I am not reaching next wicked wind breakpoint. Aps should be at 1,65 (chantodo's wand) x 82% ias (72 from items + 10 from bubble) = 3,003. This is exactly next wicked wind breakpoint according to this thread in battle.net https://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6794871641. Needs someone's opinion on that. Like Tommynv's. Next upgrade would be tal armor with all res and +armor and getting more all res in general.

EDIT: Was also thinking what's the better combo of skills: Frost Nova - Bone Chill + Blur or Frost Nova - Cold Snap + Cold Blooded.

What is the best paragon levelling build for high end wiz? For barb and monk it's fairly easy to break 100m ex/hr. With wiz however the best I could manage is about 70m/hr. Anyone manages to get 85m+?

arcon wiz with 24% movement speed and scramble. Some guy claimed he was reaching 100 mill an hour in mp0 with cain's set. But imo that's an overkill, nn to rush to p100, enjoy your 70 mill per hour, man.
