that's actually a huge improvements. Still don't get why they won't allow us to tele if doors are closed. But hey, it's Blizzard, it took them one year to realize that always-in-internet game lacked actual multiplayer.

I checked back quite a few pages and did some searching but I couldn't find a low budget mp10 wiz build. I have about 130mil and want to try wiz this next patch. I am not super sold on the CM wiz but am willing to try. I tried Archon and it was fun but got boring. Are there some hybrid builds? Doesn't have to be a hybrid of Archon and CM but I'm pretty sure don't want to go full CM. (If that's even possible)

I put this wiz together for a few mil about a month and a half back just to see if it was fun but I'd like to delve deeper into the wiz! Is there any gear I could keep or is it all useless now?

Any thoughts?

it's not useless, it's a decent mp1 arcon farming machine. For 130 mill you can make mp10 support char, nothing else.

On Wicked Wind

Currently got AS:
1.65 (Wep) * 1.82 (Itens) = 3.003

With this I will hit the 3.0001 - 40 bp?

yes

I have 32m to work with and I am looking to get a build that will allow me to easily clear higher than mp1. Right now I have a basic archon build, but I'm not sure if I should continue to upgrade gear and stick with archon, or if I should try a different build that will allow me to advance farther, with less gold.

Here is my current character - http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Dune1-1942/hero/1699770

If I stick with archon, what gear should I upgrade? Also, is there a better archon build out now?

** Oh yeah, I have a hellfire ring, but I have it on another character right now (Int ring).

Thanks!

what u think of this setup for farming elites now:
http://d3up.com/b/502033/simba



with deep freeze actual dps is nearly double than my previous:

just need loh amulet to balance out a bit, as it is a bit unsmooth with 450 loh, but np with monk in group

previous setup: http://d3up.com/b/502028/simba

Andy face with a socket or cheap added int mempo (socket a ruby there). Cheap trifecta gloves with added armor. Better Triumverate. Better weapon (with a socket, you can skip life leech). Cheap witching hour with phys res/armor. Those are the upgrades you should spend ~10-15 millions on. Farm mp1-2 act 3 Alkaizer with Arcon untill you get a godly drop and gather ~200+ millions than start gearing up for sns wizard.



Soj is bad despite cc to energy twister. You are losing crits from explosive blasts and novas that add to your proc a bit, you are losing ehp (0 ehp ring), and more importantly you are losing aps breakpoint. Imo 30% to elites is negated by all those loses.

About deep freeze - when I use bubble or teleport setup I never feel like I need additional cc - I permafreeze anything, I can't die and I feel like flat 15% damage increase from bone chill is far superior, especially when running a multiplayer game with hota barbs and bell monks. Also, try crafting better mitigation shoulders, buy a new witching (yours is obviously outdated), buy new lacunis (6 cc). Did you try measuring effective dps with 28 apoc setup versus your setup?

@Mad1Lee
sorry dude but clearly you didn't put much effort in replying at all

firstly, put ehp thing aside, when you play cm since the release of the game, you just don't die unless you mess up or get in situation where no ehp would matter.
secondly, I am still on 2.74

thirdly, did you run the simulation?

on 3 elites with deep freeze:

Average DPS = 12267392.00
(DPS / Character Sheet) Ratio = 36.18
DPS from Wicked Wind = 1630219.10 [13.29%]
DPS from Chain Reaction = 6000160.00 [48.91%]
DPS from Diamond Shards = 2187720.50 [17.83%]
DPS from Storm Armor base = 273378.10 [ 2.23%]
DPS from Shocking Aspect = 2175913.50 [17.74%]
DPS from weapon attack = 0.00 [ 0.00%]

3 elites with bone chill:

Average DPS = 10728084.00
(DPS / Character Sheet) Ratio = 36.88
DPS from Wicked Wind = 1802765.50 [16.80%]
DPS from Chain Reaction = 5053445.00 [47.10%]
DPS from Diamond Shards = 1824914.90 [17.01%]
DPS from Storm Armor base = 266643.30 [ 2.49%]
DPS from Shocking Aspect = 1780208.60 [16.59%]
DPS from weapon attack = 107.31 [ 0.00%]

additional cc is not just for freezing, when you crit things all the time, you obviously do more damage

finally, for 140k dps wiz such as yourself, 30% elites may not be much, but for 300k one that farms elites only in vota, the difference is huge
