I think there was a thread on doing Siegebreaker, but the idea is simple, start at the quest where Tyrael is with you, build up 5 stacks of NV in the Keep, then kill the boss.

What I do is keep restarting the game until you get a chest on the keep level 1. This usually takes about 5 minutes. If it's there I clear up to siegebreaker at Rakki's and check for the underbridge. Then I clear elites in level 2 of the keep until I find the chest there (it's there 90%+ of the time but not in the same location), then I check for caverns of frost. At this point I almost certainly have 5 NV stacks and have 2-5 resplendent chests to open. Open the cheset in caverns of frost level 2 and backtrack to the keep, open those two, then open the one in the underbridge if it's there. Then I kill siegebreaker. It usually takes a bit less than an hour and gives a ton of rares. If you consider the first part exploiting and don't want to do it you can skip it, but I think it's worth a few minutes if you're going to open it up with 5 NV stacks.
OK, I got some awesome help from here how to gear up etc, and it boosted my dps from 22k to 34k. Ive got 1 million banked but I am not finding any wortyh items . What would you replace and what should i look for ?
This is some awesome starting gear to build on. To be safe survival wise you need around 30-33k life and 200-300 resist. This is even enough for late act 3. If you reach that point I would only care about damage, as it will speed up your farming.
First I would replace that Chest. Get some cheap Vit/Int 3 socket Chest. You can then decide if you need more hp or more damage. 130vit/70int +3 socket you can buy for around or under 300k. Other mods to look for are physical resist, armor and strength (for the extra armor). All resist is kinda pricey and you dont really need it. In EU there is a very nice 3 socket Chest Armor in the AH right now with 136vit, 77 int, 72str, 35 phy resist and 303 Armor for 300k.
So you would only lose some armor, a few elemental resist, but gain massive amounts of hp or damage in form of int.
Thanks for this response will look for a chest asap

My Stats are pretty much identical to you with AR being a bit lower, I also just killed Maghda but I only died about 5 times so far in the whole of act 2 lol.
But WOW ranged is so much easier then a melee in inferno. Time to farm gear for my barb on my wizard lol

Ps: mind this is with force armour and force weapon enabled.

How the hell are u at 6k armor, im at 4k
His stats are fine (2-4k more dps and 2-3k more hp and should be able to do Belial) for act 2, with your stats you should be done with Belial and progressing thru act 3.
Act 2 is barely about stats for Wizzard and more about how fast you react to stuff.
Is it even worth it to progress after siegebreaker? My gear should be good enough to easily do the end of a3 and a4 (74k dmg, 38k hp, 360all res), but I don't see any reason in doing so, maybe so I can say "I cleared inferno pre-nerf" which seems silly.
You can consider doing azmodan runs instead of siegebreaker, has the advantage of giving you 2 bosses of loot instead of one, but of course there you have to kill the stuff yourself without tyrael. Shouldn't be that hard with your gear, though. Other then that, i always thought of progression as the goal, and farming as the means, not the other way around. Sadly, there is not that much to progress too, since if you have done act 2 and the beginning of act 3, the worst is behind you already.

Finishing the game? Cydaea/Azmodan run being even better? Killing Iskatu when bored? Watching Imperius get his ass kicked?

Wow... how did you get 74 dmg?!
I'm at 40k dps, 40k HP, 500 allres, and that's me spending close to 5 million already. How do you guys get that high? I got a 1200 raw dps 2-handed with int/vit on it, all my gear parts got int/vit/allres on it except the rings and amulet which it's int/vit/ias instead, and boots with int/move speed/allres...

I did vendor runs early in the game which got me millions of gold, I bought a lot of good shit, farmed siegebreaker and got even more gold. I've 4 parts with IAS (andariels, ring, amulet and lacunis) and then some crit and all res here and there.
And I guess I'm going to finish the game I just hate phasebeasts, soul rippers and pretty much every mob in act 4 :D

Spending lots of money on gear and focusing a bit less on defense? Some people have 100k+ dps.

Vendor runs? What's that? Crazy... While my siegebreaker runs have been unlucky too.

Early game you could purchase +damage + speed amulets / rings (and other affixes) from vendors and sell them for like 4-6x markup and they would sell pretty fast. Not so much anymore though.

I started a game, I went to the vendor that sells rings and amulets, I checked the rings and amulets and if they were any good I bought them and sold them on the AH. For example, I'd buy 70int 15% IAS rings for 6-8k gold a piece and resell them on the AH for 80-150k depending on the current market. Sadly it's not worth it anymore imo.
