i have tried and tested so many setups with so many different pieces of gear. SNS, non-SNS... storm crow, no storm crow, 2.74, 3.01+, etc....
there's so much to explain on what might be of help and what may hurt. the beauty of the CM is that EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING ties together and is dependent upon another. how are you to proc APoC without enough CC? lower APS = less chance to proc CC = less chance to proc APoC, you get it? it's a lot.
currently my wiz sits at 3.03aps, 17apoc (fucking noob i know, working on making that 20, but works for now even single target), 49.5%cc.
500k+ eHP <- i think this right here is what matters most. survivability over damage. unless you're a 220k unbuffed SNS capable wizard, dont worry about using anything other than pinpoint or prismatic.
your build is based off of i would say, 3 things. mainhand, source, and helm. IAS mainhand? you can focus on non-IAS items elsewhere. storm crow? you wont need an apoc force. yes, 20+ apoc is nice. a storm crow with cc is nice. but i've found that at 3.01+aps using a mempo/apoc force/ias chant vs. cc storm crow/apoc force/ias chant at 2.74 aps... the 3.01 setup wins. why? eHP.
just a short blurb of my findings... but i've got so many stashed items you'd be like wtf. i can make a whole nother cm wiz if i wanted to. it's like that. retarded how much i've wasted on testing and buying things that ended up not working for me.
just take a look at my wiz and see. i can even run with you ingame if you like. but my current setup tops anything i've tried. i'm SNS capable... barely... but i can do it. just need that extra apoc. sorry if some of this stuff is irrelevant. pm me if you would like more insight
I like your wiz a lot except your apoc. This apoc lowers your effective dps so so much. Just go with tal armor and storm and you will do much better.
