What to use as the off skill for ubers?

Blood magic seems eh
I tried safe passage teleport... Wasn't BAD, but I don't see how I can fully utilize it
Time warp...? Is this a good enough team buff?

Using blood as default doesn't seem horrible because its one less thing for me to focus on clicking during freeze (since its my right click and hard to get off too)

If you do ubers primarily in teams and you can survive without dying, judicious use of time warp (don't stack flies) is the best team buff. If you find yourself dying though, the time spent with teammates reviving you likely outweighs the benefits of time warp so in that case, blood magic as additional life recovery may be the way to go or teleport if you prefer that.

First of all, do not use ring without cc. By losing 5-6 cc you are losing a lot of effective dps and survivability. That zuni ring is really bringing you down. Second of all, you need 2,74 aps breakpoint. In order to reach it, use Tal Armor, decent ehp one is fairly cheap nowadays. As for pants, use blackthornes with huge vita + armor buff = best in slot for our class, or use added int/vita + armor version. They are all pretty cheap. Try to get to 50 cc and more importantly 2,74 aps so your wizard can work properly. Also, try to keep your armor above 4k mark and your all res above 650 mark. You need at least 40k life for mp7 and below too.

update on my wizard:

alright so, i was comfortable with my wizard for the longest. she ran at the 2.74aps breakpoint, 205k dps, sat well over 500k eHP. but now i'm ready to get into something a little more interesting

at the moment i'm testing a build that is pure dps pure craziness. more technique involved rather than tanking everything and freezing/blasting away. at the moment i've made the 3.01+ aps mark. i'm still above 50%cc though i can do some work on that, maybe a new set of gloves and zuni ring. i'm making 291k dps buffed with blood magic (my only source of life return other than minimal regen) and so far it has worked. not sure if i can sit through an arcane sentry or take hard ranged dmg or those big 1shot kind of dudes but i'll soon find out.

what i'm trying to do here is see if sacrificing eHP is really worth it. with 1.0.7 the game has changed for a lot of CM/ww type wizards. i went from 569k eHP to an almost flat 400k. that's a lot, man.

the hunt is on! wish me luck (and gold, cause this stuff is expensive)
