in time i will prove u wrong

but about archon i walk thru a2 with archon taking hits without a problem
wat most people dont realize about archon is that it adds 40% armor and all resist and with my build it brings me to 11k armor and 1800 all resist
its obviously useless for people that use force armor cause theyll take 1/3 regardless

soon everyone will see prismatic > force armor unless some patch changes the way things are calculated

Interesting approach. May I ask you how much life you got? I feel like that could be great once I hit 40-50k life.

The Wand has an average damage of 628. With an Int of 1500, its damage increases to 9420--which is then buffed by whatever else you have. Hydra, however, only uses 18% of that.

The Axe has an average damage of 721. With an Int of 1500, its damage increases to 10,822--which is then buffed by whatever else you have. Here, as well, Hydra only uses 18% of.

Be the judge. If you think you can live with the lower damage of Hydra because it provides you with more speed, go ahead. If, on the other hand, you have enough attack speed to feel safe, go with the lower-speed/higher-damage one.

You so not seem to understand how Force Armor works.

my hp is obviously lower than most force armor builds cause its not ez finding vit along with all the other mods i need in gear. im currently sitting at 28k but with all the mobs dealing that much less to me compared to using force armor it more than evens out.
for example i know many wizzies have problems with izkatu or however u spell his name cause of the massive amount of mobs that spawn but these so called mobs only deal 1400 per to me and the boss itself hits me for 8k. if i were to use a force armor build im pretty sure i wont be able to survive 20 hits from those little critters



im not gonna say i was the first cause thatll just bring in lots of arguments but i made the hp regen 4721hp fa build b4 it was even mentioned on these forums. i know how it works and i scrapped it once the nerf came in

Why would you have scrapped it? It increases your life by exactly the amount of HP you have--meaning that you can take pretty much any hit with even 30k Hp. And getting hit by insignificant enemies is solved by killing them first.

ok ill just ask u one question and hopefully ull get the idea

y would u want to use a skill that makes u take 35% max of ur hp when u can make a build where nuthin in the game can deal 35% of ur hp in 1 hit?

Because that would require ridiculously more gold to achieve. Quite simple, really.

Edit: The skill doesn't "make" you take 35% of your HP in damage. Only damage that would be higher than that 35%.

so therefore u are admitting my build is the better long term build. many people strive for perfection and as long as ur agreeing my build will come out the winner it becomes the better build



and y would u need it when nuthin in game can produce that hit dealing over 35% of ur hp?

Going from the armor and resist data you gave with your bit on archon we can estimate your armor to be about 8000 and resists about 950 without prismatic armor, 1300 with. If you're taking 1400/8000 from minions/izual with prismatic armor, it'd just become ~1800/10000. You'd still survive about 16 hits, so it's not gamebreaking without it

All this is probably moot for you since you're not taking 35% from anything, but it's a long ways to go before many wizards can scrap force armor
