Pick up teleport and illusionist. Use it to get out vortex and jailer. You should be able to withstand a few hits in act 1. Every time you're hit your teleport will reset. If you use fracture like I do I like to lead with fracture to give more time to dps. If you get hit teleport.

Edit: For a1, I found DS to be more useful than teleport.  The mobs really don't hit too hard and if you're solo, a DS can absorb a few hits.  Especially with 25% MS, you should be able to to handle most rare packs.  I didn't start using teleport until act 2.  Keep mobs on the corner of your screen and keep as much distance between them as possible.  Spells like MM and piercing orb travel farther than 1 screen length.  For MM, it helps to kite around corners/tree/objects and bend MMs at the mobs while laying down orbs when there's straight space between you.  If you're going MM and Orb, I'd pick up arcane hydra and temporal flux for even more move speed differential.  That's the setup I used for a1, and I had similar stats to you.


I'm fine in the open but narrow hallways give me the most problems, i can never create enough distance..

You have wrong info in choosing weapon damage. "channeled through Hydra--whose damage is dependent on weapon damage (not the damage done per second, but the damage done per hit). "


attack speed affects the damage hydras do. They may attack at the same rate but they output more damage because it is as if they are attacking faster (the animation just doenst show it)

This is really easy to test. Take off all ur IAS and use hydra, put it all back on and you'll notice HUGE diff.

50K DPS / 40K HP wizard build, i stop to play PvE Sorc because it's cost so much to reach 80K DPS. Prefer to invest less in a DH. Less expensive, more damage, more loot.

Also, not sure why you took cold blooded when all you have is blizzard. I find blizzard not as useful so much as a dps tool but rather as an AOE slow. Take either the chance to stun passive for your piercing orb, or blur for more survivability. With your hp I'd recommend dropping DS and picking up teleport. You can swap out galvanizing for illusionist and also gain more survivability that way.

That's been established around 40 pages back--but the lack of editing has prevented me from updating not only this, but some of the other concepts.

As a new wizard trying out this guide, I swapped from a WD and so far I am loving it. One question though, should I try to sell off my Andys and try and buy a really good Int/Vit/Resist Helm instead and just get IAS on rings/ammy/gloves/bracers? Also Great guide!
