Ok Mad1Lee thanks for the input definitely, I'll look at some more better Zunni boots and the Zunni ring.

On the pox ring Do I get a duel crit CD/CC Or one with Attack speed and CC?
Now that I'm looking At them I think I can only afford the one with Attack speed and CD. Would that be the way to go?
The trifecta pox is out of my budget I'm thinking.
But it does look good.

EF is without LL but i dont need it on mp1. had one with 9xx dmg 50cd and soc but ef is much more dmg

its realy nice to play


the skills...... i dont know what i need for archon.
what skills are the best for archon?

Freshly-60 wizard looking to be able to run Alka smoothly (currently still dying to some RD packs), but also able to do higher MP uber runs with friends. On a pretty tight budget (~10m right now), so I'd say Archon farm spec is priority 1, but hopefully also getting items that can work with high MP builds (Cm/ww from what I've read).

Any tips on gear, spec, etc are appreciated! Thanks.

There are quite a lot of things that you need to change IMO, if you want I can help you buy some gear right now. Don't really want to try and post all of the items you're gonna need

Will be online later... maybe just guiding principles unless you'll also be online later? I know for CM/WW will need a lot of IAS and Crit, while keeping a little LOH and decent EHP. Seems pricey to do that, though, so I need to figure out what is the "budget" option... If there is one. And again, since i think it's probably out of price range, what are archon farming items i could aim for that slowly prep me for cm/ww. Thanks for the help!

I probably will be on later, but I think if you just have 10m you should just focus on archon first and then farm with that till you can afford some better gear. Because at this point I think trying to build an archon wiz as well as a cm wiz you'll end up with shittier versions of both.

But for archon..I would say

Get a black dmg 1h weapon with LL/triumvirate off hand
Vile ward with 190+ int, should be cheap
Zunimassa chest/shoes

You're going to want to get another amulet, probably with CC/CD it will be easier to see which gives best dps once you have upgraded the other stuff

Thanks, will try to find these for under 10m and try to keep some leftover. Figured would need to do archon only first... thanks for confirming. What budget would be needed for a high mp set that could do mp7+?

I made a CM/ww wiz with 25m. It could solo act 3 mp8 although it took long. Cm/ww is generally not recommended with a small budget

Archon Build, looking to spend about 200m on upgrades. Any thoughts?

cc/cd would be a better choice, but ias/cd is okay too.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#VQjmST!gfb!YZaZcY skills that you need. Buy yourself cheap ias zunimassa's pox ring and for god sake any int hellfire ring would better than your ugly piece of crap one.





arcon mp7 is like a few billions budget. but for 300-400 mill you can make cm/ww wizard for that mp. Won't be super effective though.



crit lacunis, better zuni ring (like with ias or cc), better weapon. 200 millions would be enough. Good cc lacunis is like a no1 item for any wizard so I would start with them. Aim for int/+armor/cc pair, you can fetch a good one for ~50 mill.
