Yeah, i am on quite the tight budget.  I did manage to sell an unid witching hour for 21m so i now have about 30m, but I'm also working on gearing 4 other characters.


30 mill - 4 other characters, doesn't sound realistic to me. Imo it's better to have 1 well geared char that 5 shitty geared mp2 heroes.

currently only 2 are on mp1/2. Monk can do 5/6, WD can do 4/5. And now that i can do mp10 on my wiz, I can hopefully start making some real gold instead of selling things for 10-100k apiece.

personally i have gained the most exp/run & hour by doing either full alkaizers with my archon on mp4 (420k+ dps 1 shots mp4, elites down in <8seconds)

if not full alkaizer i do my own route which involves minimal backtracking or going the wrong way.

full alk:

core of arreat checkpoint backwards to wp
tower of the damned level 1 full circle back to wp
arreat crater level 2 to end, tp to bastions keep
wp to keep depths level 1, enter keeps 2 and clear to the breach
wp to bridge of korsikk and full clear to entrance of rakkis crossing
end.

my route:
core of arreat checkpoint backwards to wp
tower of the damned level 1 full circle back to wp
rakkis crossing backwards towards fields of slaughter
end at fields entrance

sometimes i'll throw in keeps 2 to my route since it's become very easy to find the right way to go to get to the breach (it's always NW)

Wondering what my upgrade plan should be for my cmww wiz: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/watlok-1706/hero/12953601

Was thinking of ditching zuni boots for some ice climbers because on the cheap I could likely come out ahead in ehp and dps, but I'm not really sure I want to commit to that choice because I don't necessarily see it as longterm. I'm kind of clueless about what to improve right now. I can do mp10 alright with no defensive skills.

e: mostly have zuni stuff because I have a WD that had the boots/chest laying around, and I scored the ring really cheap.

Very nice wizard. It's hard to improve something and not drop few billions in the process, but I guess since you are asking you got the gold, so here goes:

Priority:
Helm: 10 apoc 6 cc 8/4 Storm. 1 apoc seems like not much but in reality it adds to your performance quite a bit. Aim for one with 450+ LoH as well, should be around 150 millions.
Lacunis: Better Lacunis. 4,5 cc on that slot is whack, man. Go for 6 cc, 6cc all res int are a bit expensive, you can try int/vita/armor/6cc version. You deffo need to up your cc to 57 for such a high end wiz machine.
Pants: I don't think you are benefiting that much from all res on your pants, imo, go for stat pants - 180 int 350 vita or something, since you are farming higher mps and 45k hp is certainly not enough to sustain burst damage there.

Optional:
Apoc source. With that damage getting 9-10 apoc source and switching from teleport to meteor build would mean an absolute annihilation of mp10. It's super fun (a bit challenging) to play, but damage output is just incredible. Also you become more versatile as you can go ranged versus some targets.
Bitching witching: added int/vita - all res - armor one. Not going to be easy to find and price would be sky high probably.
Maxing out ias on each slot so you can go to 3,003 aps with bubble. That is going to be nearly impossible to complete without changing pretty much 60% of your gear, and I doubt you ever need it.

Adding more ehp. If you want to stick to zuni marrow - fine, just get one with added vita/armor. Get all res/armor witching - it's cheap. Get int/vita/all res or int/vita/armor or vita/armor blackthorne pants. Drop zuni ring, losing 5-6 cc on that slot is bad for cmww wizard. Your paper dps might decrease depending on your new ring, but in reality you will deliver more and freeze more. You need to keep 2,74 aps breakpoint though.

Zuni armor with +armor instead of phys res and zuni boots with + armor instead of light res. Try to craft shoulders with more life.

Thanks man for the input.

Vita has never been a problem, I find it to be fake ehp that is more or less useless on CM wizard. I used to play with 33k hp and 400 loh before i got BT pants and this amulet, and honestly I don't feel the difference between 30k or 50k at all. We usually play with TR monk and 2 WDs so teleport is very important for high mobility, as mp10 elites just get destroyed from palms and voodoos. Teleport is mainly the reason I play wizard, don't enjoy bubble at all :P

You are right about lacuni's, I should try to get better, just hard to find 9/6 pair. I am not sure about the rare ring, would be nice to get some loh on it and then drop BT pants for high int diggers.
Also 3 apoc items seems very interesting I might have a go :P
