kay. i went through my typical route, and he only died once (because he stood in molten)

time to sell the buriza T_T

Yeah lol both enchantress and scoundrel seem to survive hulkings but never molten

Oh, wow, so % elemental damage is added to your damage?
Wow, that differs from my knowledge, thought it would only add % if you did that elemental already

I think the soj/wf is just to apply cold damage to as many mobs as possible and then with wiz passive cold blooded applies 20% more damage to enemies affected by cold damage so we would do an additional 20% to those mobs regardless of the type of skill we are using, if I have gathered that all right.

On a side note, what do you guys think would be a better option... I thought that perhaps a bit more resistance would be a good idea for higher lvl games come 1.0.5 so I threw on 3 piece zuni for the extra resistance. Does that sound like a good idea or it kind of sounds like at higher levels the small gain in survivability may be kind of a mute point. Perhaps going zuni ring/boots and replacing my chest with a nice tal chest for the dps? How much does a nice int/vit/res tals chest generally go for?

No it's the scoundrels damage that's cold damage

You benefit from monsters effected by his arrows with cold blooded and you can also get a boost from his hysteria which is why scoundrel is so useful

I will no longer prefer enchantress because she loses 3% out of her 5% armor boost
The ias wasn't the primary reason I used her.

In 1.0.5 I think it's better to use a scoundrel for its potential utility if you solo

I mean if you wear an item with % elemental damage, it adds to your current dps even if you don't do that elemental damage?
Unlike diablo 2, you had to do fire damage to get % fire bonus

yes it adds to your current dps

read OP's opening post

Note there are 2 types of + % elemental damage.

1) Adds X% to "Elemental" Damage - this adds X% weapon damage as that element, and will affect all skills even if it's a + 6% Poison damage and you are using an Arcane skill. Examples are Zunimassa's bboots, Triumvirate source.

2) "Elemental" skills deal X% more damage. This only adds X% more damage to skills of that element. Examples are Tal Rasha's set bonus, Maximus's bonus.

The first type of damage bonus is amazing, the second type is mostly unless except a few cases and special builds. 1 Very useful one would be a high roll Won khim Lau for monks, but this is not a monk topic so we won't talk about that.




put in 30m into scoundrel's build cause bored and its pretty worth it

multishot procs crit easily so the 10% damage on hysteria with his 12.5% crit is pretty consistent

still using scramble build with enchantress til 1.0.5 hits.

hysteria shows up in your dps
cold blooded doesn't );

I'm looking for a build i've seen ppl use, energy twister - frost nova spam - critical mass. Looks like the wiz is exploding non stop. What is it called? Any guides for it?

it's called the carpal tunnel build
spam those spells (and explosive blast) by rolling your face on the keyboard

^that's the guide. you're welcome

Right so, i tried facerolling my keyboard, but cant get past ghom using that method. Any other guides?
