Just to be clear, is the breakpoint for a CM wiz 2.73 or 2.74? I keep seeing both?

i am still a bit confused about this one

Break point is 2.7378. So for example with chantodos will with 1.64 and 66ias from gear you have 2.7224 which is not enough.
1.65 wand - you need 66 ias from your gear
1.64 wand - you need 67 ias from your gear
1.63 wand - you need 68 ias from your gear
1.62 wand - you need 69 ias from your gear

is shocking aspect any good for archon users?

or should i stick with scramble, or even more conservative options like prismatic/pinpoint ?

i do not find scramble to be that great given that the whole point of archon is to melt everything in an instant.

It seems so long ago but the topic creator of this thread actually contended that a scramble/archon build would be the most "endgame" wizard build. i guess mp10 and ubers changes everything.

For me Prismatic with 5%cc is best option. Especially for mp7+
MS bonus from scramble is maybe the way to go on lower mps but for me it activates not so often.

no inna pants required to go 2.74 soj

they are only needed for triumvirate build

bp 2.7378

that is if you are using mempo and got enough ias on the rest of your gear.

Could someone offer me some suggestions in terms of improving EHP?

This is my first Wiz build, been playing a monk since the beginning, but decided to roll a Wiz and go Archon

You have 709 vitality / 656 all res / 3438 armor. That's low right there.

This I know....

I'm new to Wiz gear, where should I look for improvements? What are the numbers to hit for an archon build for survivability etc?
