thanks a lot for the tips, i will be upgrading to tal armor later when i can afford a decent one
picked the first one because i wanted fire res, azmos fire ball kills me in 1 hit and it makes me rage :/

purching also new shoulders for the last 10m
177 vit / 171 int / 10 % life


No res on shoulders?

And I usually go just diamond skin and facetank with sc

The amount of nados if you have apoc is ridiculous and azmodan goes down like Rihanna when Chris brown gets mad

#1 260 int 75 res 5% cc 1 sok rare helm
#2 tal rasha helm 180 int 60 res (12% life 5.5% crit 1 sok)
#3 andy helm 160 int (9% as 4.5% crit 50 psn res 8% more fire dmg taken 1 sok)

they all cost approx. the same

Reflect dmg ist fucking retarded again.
I have like 1200-1300@ in archonmode, 190kdps(buffed), 42k life and 2.5ls. Cant kill "dmg reflect" champs in a2, it drains my hp so fucking fast.
Its nice that they reduced the dmg that the enemies do by 25% but that doesnt affect the reflected dmg I do to myself, the prisma nerf wasnt a help either lol.

Tested on plvl4.

Btw, Meteor is ass if you want to use it to reduce the archon cooldown. Before I could reduce the whole cooldown I already killed 1-2 champ packs with meteor.

overall, huge nerf for archon  wizards imho.


+1

Long kill times = bad for Archon, lots of downtime. It feels like im a 50k dps archon struggling in a3 all over again!

Meteor is crap, WW is crap, if u already have APoC on helm/source, you might as well go melee wiz...

and one more thing to add: armor is all about the same, just the rare helm has 100 def more.

how much apoc?

really? 5 seconds? that's very manageable.

230 with which buffs? (i'm 170~ unbuffed)



yer unbuffed around 173 k

http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/cleaner-2415/Cleaner/186742

233 with glass / magic weapon and enchentress

so mlvl 4 and lvl 5 is ok , lower dps archons with like 100 k dps , i would say lvl 3 is the absolute maximum , since u need killspeed to keep your archon up as long as possible



and i really recommend you guys , to get a source of life regaining while in archon mode , high dps wizards will have the best liferegaining source with ll on their weps , especially now that force armor got nerfed so hard. I mean u can't stock up your armor to amounts like 6 or 7 k now , it's impossible

Basic tele archon
120k unbuffed 50.50% crit
Have 0% movement speed saving up for a decent Lacuni's and ice climber
Had a no crit Lacuni's decided to just not use it for 1.0.5
It slows you down a ton but yeah I know the biggest flaw in my build

Tele archon for movement and utility
Prismatic
Sparkflint (I like it better than magic weapon)
Teleport wormhole (makes runs so much faster and I use an occy)
Diamond skin crystal shell
Storm chaser
Galvanizing ward (only for the longer armor duration)
Glass cannon
Critical mass

Seeing how 1.0.5 is I'm definitely changing my build

Thinking about using ice armor or storm armor next patch

Gonna try it out tonight in ptr
