Mad WTF

Come on!

Pretty badly assembled wizard. Super unbalanced. I doubt you can play it higher than mp8 without dying a lot pretty much to anything. 3k armor, 628 all res, 579 loh and 17 apoc? That's look horrible. And use Glass Cannon with those stats? And no Shocking Armor? Dude, paper dps might stroke your e-peen a bit, but in reality you are less effective than 180k dps sns wiz with proper ehp.




After cleaning cash and cookies neither b-net pages nor diabloprogress ones display item previes for me in Mozilla, lol. Had to watch at your wiz thru IE. First of all, wizard above is an example of poorly assembled wizard that basically won't work on higher mps, don't follow that. Here is what you need:

Trifecta gloves with AR. Try to keep cc high, it's your effective dps and freezing capabilities.
All res/armor Witching Hour and all res/armor Tal chest. Seriously man, those are not that expensive, get them.
6 cc Storm with 10 apoc 400+loh, 4% to elites.
Source with double int/vita roll.
Better Amulet (like 9cc/60 cd+ and ias enough to hit breakpoint) with more int and preferably some armor/all res/loh.
Right ring is decent, trifecta would be expensive here
As far as it goes for nat's ring, BIS for your budget are int/cc/all res ones.

Don't chase paper dps, our build doesn't work that way.

Cool cool. Thanks for that.

So, once I hit the 2.73 breakpoint, more attack speed doesn't do much huh?

Is that why you are suggesting to stick with the storm crow and non apoc but better chant source?

I'll definitely work on glove/ammy/tal chest/WH. Those were just in my stash for long time but thought they would work for testing. But yeah, those will be cheap and effective upgrades.

Nat's ring, ill shop around. pretty sure I can snag one for cheap if I camp a little.

I'll update on this when I get couple gears.

Made a few changes. We did forget entirely about APOC, so we found a Chantodo's Force with 9 on it. Think he's at 18 or 19 now.

We also dropped the Zunimassa's Boots - we had kinda left those on the list from when he was planning to use Zunimassa's ring, but that was too expensive for now, so there was no partial set bonus we were gaining. We went with Ice Climbers instead.

The final gear we bought with search criteria was:

Chantodo's Will – 700 AVG DMG, 0.24 APS
Chantodo's Force – 140 AVG DMG, 9 APOC
Mempo of Twilight – 90 VIT, 9 IAS
Inna's Temperance – 80 INT
Blackthorne's Duncraig Cross – 8 CC, 600 LOH, 9 IAS
Rare Ring 1 – 65 All RES, 4.5 CC, 9 IAS
Rare Ring 2 – 50 All RES, 4.5 CC, 8 IAS
Rare Gloves – 9 CC, 9 IAS, 30 CD
Ice Climbers – 230 INT, 70 VIT
Tal Rasha's Relentless Pursuit – 190 INT, 160 VIT
Vile Ward – 190 INT, 95
Lacuni Prowlers – 85 Vit, 4.5 CC
The Witching Hour - 145 INT

He managed all that for under 23 million with some good deals here and there.

You can see his profile here, though he still needs to socket his items, as he kinda ran outta time before he had to go to school this morning.

I've heard a 2.74 breakpoint mentioned, but he's way over 3 aps - what's the next breakpoint after 2.74? Now that we've put the gear together, are their any weaknesses? Not enough LoH? Not enough CC? His resists may look a bit low, but he will always be playing with my Barb who has Warcry Impunity.

Thanks

Once you hit the breakpoint, all added ias is just boosting your paper dps and making you spam winds tiny teeny bit faster so it's not really effective. It's only effective if you have 8 perfect ias pieces (9 ias) with 1,65 wand and you are using Time Stretch (it's taking you to 3,00 aps breakpoint). About Force - you should definitely try and snatch double int/vita Force. I prefer to play with 3 apoc pieces because I like meteors, but 2 10 apoc pieces is enough for standard sns.

Nice stuff for the budget man.

Here is his profile on d3rawr. I plugged in more numbers for gems in the armors.

The next bp after 2.73 is 3, and he's at 3. So, that's pretty good.

But his ehp is very low. He shouldn't use glass cannon. He should just use something else and use Shard rune on diamond skin.

What mp you guys are going to play?

Ah, that makes sense. Got it. I'll keep my bp at 2.74 and upgrade other slots. I've tried your build with meteor. It was fun but I like teleport wormhole so much that I think I'm gonna stick with it.

What do you think about my BT pants? My friend gave it to me for free. Do you think it's alright to drop either all res or armor for 2 sockets or double int/vital roll?

Thanks mang

im 777-821@ buffed 4.2k armor. 579 loh i enough and 17 apoc i enough. im doing JUST fine at mp10 soloing. and they'r dying fast.

Damn I should change my keys from 1234 to zxcv and left click to scroll up or something if that's even possible. That'll be much easier to play.

Good thing I had my wiz on my 2nd account.

so you are using energy armor? That means you are losing 30-40% of your effective dps. 579 LOH at this mitigation? That means plagued/reflect will destroy you. 17 apoc? That means a lot of awkard wand attacks.
