So with the guides and end-game stats people are posting, nobody is stacking all resists anymore??

I got about 400+, and spent a good chunk of my gold for it. I thought they are important?

Due to force armor mechanics, it doesn't matter if you get hit for 35% of your hp or 135% - you still take the same damage. If you're at 300 res and 40k hp, you're more or less set. Expect to die to large, avoidable hits though.

46k life, 5.6k armor, 500-600 on all resists. A lot of stuff doesn't even trigger my force armor, but I'm glad when it does reduce something that was even bigger.

Haters gonna hate.

Good. I'm glad I'm still on a decent path with gearing. My biggest purchase yet was a helm with +79 all res, socket, and 170 int for 1 million.

I would be upset if that was a bad purchase.

So I recently switched to a 2 hander and it does significantly more damage per arcane power, but now I'm stuck at like 1.1 attack speed (2 14% ias rings). I mean, I COULD get ias amulets/gloves but those are ridiculously expensive and my amulet/gloves are ridiculously good with high crit/crit dmg and int. Andy's is the next choice, but my helm with arcane power on crit is pretty interesting and don't know if I should give that up. Maybe I'll just wait for the fix on the ias pants. I mean, after all attack speed is just there for faster animation, not really more damage at this point.

Also they're planning on nerfing attack speed modifiers. Not sure how this will affect what I'll do or if I'll go back to my 1 hander.

Agree 100% with my man Dfgj, I'm at 36k life, 5k ish armor, and 600 resists, and the survivability is fantastic. (and it's not like I'm sacrificing much dmg at 62k, as well)

Good to hear that not investing my whole money in IAS gear was the right choice. I guess everyone is going for crit then.

Well you definitely want some ias if you're using a slow 2h, or kiting becomes incredibly clumsy. It's just a question of how much ias - I use 3x15% atm and I'm comfortable with it (though I'd consider going to 2x). We'll have to see what happens after the patch.

Running this build right now: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#WZYQXO!adW!aYZZaa


Oh I never tried sleet storm! Have to try this. Does it slow, does it work with crit?
Really appreciate every wizard who tries to get meele work. I use my meele build to help out friends in hell or below. so much fun Sadly it is not posiible to play with cheap equipment in inferno....

It probably doesn't work well past Nightmare, we'll see. :D I play in group with a barb and monk, and the monk have some neat auras and abilities that works well when I'm close to him. Also, being melee means that I don't get instantly fucked by teleport and mortar mobs, we split the tanking instead. I might switch to ranged abilities when things start to get ugly in Hell and beyond. :D

The slow works, and I think it works with crit. It is basically Frost Ray in every sense, except instead of firing a ray on a single enemy, you channel on all nearby enemies. Very good for melee'ing.

I'm farming act 3 azmodan atm and I dropped mine down to 30k hp, 400 all resists, and 5.4k armor cause I really don't notice the difference. Hell, it's probably better this way at low vitality so I get more health back through health globes and health pots. I noticed I was getting 3 shot anyway by the really annoying spear throwers at 37k hp, 600 all resist, 5.5k armor anyway so I was like fuck it. Dots are the least of my problems with mirror image and teleport. I suppose reflect damage is more of an issue now though, but I think it's more due to my 80k damage than my own defense. Still not that bad though between health pots and health globes. The worst is still just things like minion immune, the occasional vacuum prison/frozen desecrate/plague or just phase beasts, but I can take those on easily now with more practice.

I am aiming to farm Azmodan soon. Mind sharing the build you use? (skills)

You can swap out fracture with wormhole if that's your preference I suppose. I like fracture just so they can tank while I throw in some shots otherwise I'd get little time to DPS after the teleport. Personally, I think diamond skill is worthless past act 3 so I got rid of it. Mirror image helps me out a lot more. They get you out of prisons/frozen/debuffs, can tank projectiles for you, last longer, and they give you time to escape while the mobs are busy attacking the illusions.

So i have been farming siegebreaker for one week now, didnt realy get any upgrades but a lot of gold - im kinda that person how realy belives if i buy an upgrade from the ah i will instantly find something better and have wasted my money.. so i am banking everything...

but today after 3 hours of farming i first found 3 nice upgrades which increased my dps from 30k to 40k, and not that as well: i picked up two great weapons, one 1h with 833dps crit dmg and incredible 1.65 speed and a 1497dps 1.03 2h weapon - and that puts me in an awkward postion:

i dont realy know what i should use.. i have a super good offhand with 91-383 dmg so the 2h dmg difference is 'only' 2.6k unbuffed dps.

i was playing hydra/blizzard the last week and i want to switch it up, from what i read in this thread 2h is the way better option for arcane orb speccs, but i was testing 1h+oh with 2.41 speed - seeker/ao/arcane hydra which made a lot of fun - i was thinking to get an expensive ap on crit head and spam those mm like shit for fulling up my ap.

As i dont want to invest blindly, has anyone found out an ao 1h specc to be valid ? Or is it way better for me to get used to 'slow' 1.51 speed ? Anyway i will keep my 1h combo if the ias patch changes everything ofc.

You have all the items now why don't you try out all the combinations and decide what you like? The amount of attack speed people prefer with AO seems to vary a lot. I'm using 1.1 and feel like it's almost too much but a lot of people have closer to 1.45. You could also try doing an AO/MM/venom hydra build with a fast attack speed and see how that works out.

You have almost identical stats as me (except more attack speed) with the same build... what part are you stuck on? The part after siegebreaker getting to the first heart is really tough but other than that I'm farming act3.

Currently at the very beginning, raising the catapults. I can proceed, but I keep dying and progressing very slowly.... I don't know how much I can upgrade with 1.5 million

EDIT: I also have a 100k HP templar with me.
