yo guys, a quick question.

what sort of stats do i need for the ww build to work in act 3?

Should i change my specs?

my kiting glass cannon mages stats are the following :

25k hp
4,7k armour
400 resists

45k dps
40% crit chance
210% crit damage
1.34 atacks per second

+ 200 loh and + 8 ap on crit

this is using FW + FA + glass cannon passive.

I'm just now starting to feel like I can do Act III somewhat comfortably, but I still have trouble with some things *cough phase beasts*.

I have:

6900 armor (w/ EA and enchantress)
31k dps
850 AR (w/ prism)
500 LoH
750 lps (w/ galv)
46k hp
41% crit
~185% crit damage
9 apoc

I think it's best to stack survivability heavily and then when you get to the point you can drop things like galv/evo/crystal shell/cold snap/prismatic for things like cold blooded/diamond shards/bone chill/pinpoint.

crap!

Im pretty much behind in defence for ww build to work in act 3 then, i though u didnt need to be so tanky with so much ds spamming. Coz i have some tankier gear + changing glass cannon for blur would pump it somewhat, but at the cost of a lot of dps, specially some of the crit chance gear which is insanely expensive to get with AR, and i dont think the ww build will work well with like 10% less crit chance.

i guess ill have to keep farming act 2 comfortably and act 3 inefficently with my current gear till i get several millions more so i can get the needed stuff.

You wIll be able to destroy certain melee packs with easy affixes, but packs that run and stuff like firechains, desc, shielding, arcane will give you fits for sure.

you really need to get 17-20 APoC. It makes a world of difference.

Last time I checked wiz weapons with 8+ APOC, they are ridiculously overpriced. It's like 50 times the price of the wands without that affix.

if you can't afford a wand with apoc, just look to get it on your helm and source. it should take precedent over dps stats in those slots. you're seriously gimping yourself If you're attempting to do this build with apoc in only 1 slot.

I just learned about the Wicked Wind build and had to try it out. I equipped my new-to-inferno wizard with 300-400k worth of equipment and now breeze through Act 1 like nobody's business. Although my damage is still a bit lacking, It feels like I can tank anything all day long. What a well thought out build, my respect to whoever thought of it! Spamming buttons is a bit tiring for the hand though.

i think the biggest misconception with the crit build is that you won't die; or that you can just tele into elites and just insta-spam them to death. it definitely is stronger than other builds per se, but you still need to approach harder elites with some sort of strategy (i.e. location of twisters, how to time cooldowns, etc). when i first started a couple days ago, i was just spamming and jamming all the buttons and i still died a ton. now that I am actually thinking about what I'm doing, i've reduced deaths a LOT.

its the only build ive heard of, id like to give it a try, is there like a threshold of crit chance for it to work?

how much money do i need to have ~35k-40k dps ? any suggestions on cheap gear, i have around 3.5 mil to spend

imo it's not really possible to be efficient (in particularly act III) with only 3.5 mil in gear. and you won't get CLOSE to 35k dps with that budget.

with changes primarily going to which passives to pick (usually based on whether you can survive or not with current gear), as well as rune tweaks to teleport/frost nova.

you will want gear that is around 40% crit chance at minimum, at least 15+ apoc, and high armor/resist to mitigate damage for you're diamond skin. obviously throw in int/vitality/crit dmg in there when you can.

why do people use "cold blooded" with the WW build? it only enhances cold dmg to slowed and frozen enemies not all dmg, the only cold dmg you do is from frost nova..
