ur better off with rare bracers for archon wizards. unless u can find a god tier lacuni's (4b+) then that would be just slightly better than a average 6 crit bracer (atk speed not needed as much as a cm wiz, u can get by with a 2.0 aps or a 2.22 breakpoint). the rings are fine, however if u find a crit dmg unity yielding higher dmg than any of ur rings, then u might want a unity on one of ur rings, and a zuni pox to go with a zuni boot. the ehp is not needed as much for an archon wiz compared to a cm wiz.
as for your amulet, you could craft somethin alot better than those but its not needed at the moment, focus on your weapon and offhand first. it will drastically change ur dps

you can use just blood magic, but u have to develop a pro playstyle if u do. other than that if u do have a ls wep, u can just lazer beam and watch tv without a sweat.

u have one possibly? would love to see some profile just to get good idea what to buy

Hello Wizards! I am trying to put together a Blizzard build, not for anything super serious but maybe mp7-8 farming. I have a monk that I main but I want something else to break it up. I watched some vids and some livestreams and I think that CM and Archon are not for me which is why I was thinking about the Blizzard build.
Here is the gear/build I have already and I'm looking for some input please! Right now I'm running mp4 very easily with almost no deaths, and mp5 I really only die to reflect damage elites or super fast ones I can't kite well.

I'm ok with putting around 3-500 mil into this char if you think that's enough to get me to mp7-8. If not, let me know what a good budget would be and I can think about committing more gold. Thanks!

Possible to make an good archon build w/ 600m?
Or maybe 1b? I want to make it for higuer MPs...possible? If yes, how? And someone can link me up some good archon wiz?

Can somebody explain to me what the difference is from gaining dps from black dmg vs gaining dps from int is?

Which weapon would be better?

First one has more black damage and .1% more lifesteal but 5k less dps. I would be using Triumverate, tal ammy, and zuni boots for the added elemental damage if this makes a difference on the black damage factor.

It is for an archon wizard. They are about the same price.



or this?
