I've been away for quite some time and I'm clueless as to what I should be upgrading and how to gear/spec. This is my current character:

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Aekaz-1669/hero/2037422

(NOTE: most likely still using archon gear, if so, changes for CM/WW:
ring1 : 57 int 55 vit 9 IAS 4% crit
helm: Storm 8% light, 450 LoH and 4,5% crit
bracers: 118 int 70 vit 47 LR 65 @ 6% crit)

I currently have 86M to spend. Could you guys please help me? Thank you!

Thanks for everyone's helpful information here.
(MadLee / Jin) and others.

Finally geared a cm wiz.
Farming mp8 comfortably
Can also survive in mp10.

I will upgrade damage slowly.
Using some gears from stash, monk gloves, barb ammy.
For sure need new gloves and ammy.

I know gears are not that good ... but I am having fun.

Thanks again.

which amulet do you think is better guys, i have both atm
please give good evaluation of each one, and approx value

if u use bt pants 2nd one, 1st one might give option for inna's pants, since enough loh (i personally don't value red control ... since those ~10% seem too low for me)

i use stormcrow, here is my wizard: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Simba-2186/hero/8111104

hp is a bit low now, so hard to craft better shoulders, and good vile wards drop hp even lower to 35k although adding 1% mit

maybe i should try my luck with vita gloves

i hit 2.74aps/53cc/365cd/54klife/780+res

buffed i do 230kdps.

Looks like you're one of those who care too much about epeen (dps).

if someone could help me out with a simple math problem regarding archon wizard effective dps, it would be nice:

138,425,408hp mp 10 ghom

my archon wizard:
2.32 aps/42.5% crit chance/315% crit hit dmg
(416,089.44 dps)

i run 5 test runs on ghom staying only in archon mode for the 15 seconds then let him kill me:

119,893,728 test 1 = 18,531,690 dp15s
117,960,504 test 2 = 20,518,904 dp15s
119,586,704 test 3 = 18,838,704 dp15s
119,346,328 test 4 = 19,079,080 dp15s
119,173,208 test 4 = 19,252,200 dp15s

finding average dps:

96220578 / 5 = 19,244,115.6 dps = avg dmg

divide by 15 as archon lasts 15 seconds

1,282,941.04 damage per second

using arcane beam tick charts breakpoint:
APS min - APS max Ticks/s
0.95239 - 1.00000 3.00000
1.00001 - 1.05263 3.15789
1.05264 - 1.11111 3.33333
1.11112 - 1.17647 3.52941
1.17648 - 1.25000 3.75000
1.25001 - 1.33333 4.00000
1.33334 - 1.42857 4.28571
1.42858 - 1.53846 4.61538
1.53847 - 1.66666 5.00000
1.66667 - 1.81818 5.45455
1.81819 - 2.00000 6.00000
2.00001 - 2.22222 6.66667
2.22223 - 2.50000 7.50000
2.50001 - 2.85714 8.57143
2.85715 - 3.33333 10.00000

171k / tick

im stupid. lol. of course!
you know i was thinking of something else when i posted that. for a few minutes i thought more aps would increase the dividend hence making my dps lower as my aps goes up the tick dps is lower.
but i just remembered that it just means i would get more hits in before i hit that 1 second mark. or am i thinking wrong?
