I know there are better stuff out there but their prices are ridiculous. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Zaxdrique-1676/hero/3502638any suggestions on improvement that wouldn't cost more than 10m? I think you have more than enough defensive stats. You probably don't have enough AP on crit to sustain against some packs. I would replace either the shield or the weapon (I'd say shield since your stats are pretty good already) with one with 9-10 AP on crit (and more 7.5+ crit chance of course). I ran 29 AP on crit in the past and it was overkill, currently I find 18-19 to be more than enough. Edit: a little more crit chance wouldn't hurt either So you are suggesting that sacrificing 100 resistance and 1500 armor is worth it, just to get more ap on crit? (in term of survivability of course) Assuming you keep everything else around the same and get around the same amount of int on the source as on the shield, you'll still be at 1k all resist, 6k armor, and 36k hp. That's plenty of EHP considering you have massive LoH. I mean if you really like the shield you could switch out the sword for a wand with AP on crit/crit damage (and LoH if you want) but then you gotta worry about not having enough HP as a buffer since you're gonna be losing that 244 vit from the sword. Not to mention if you want LoH on the wand it'll be pricey. So, I bought a 4m source to try it out. the AP on crit definitely helps, I see that more tornadoes around. It seems that I do die less in the beginning, but beyond Seigebreaker, it's just not possible anymore. The fat guy just 3 hits me. Also, I can't tank ghom anymore (need to switch back to sheild to kill him).
Not possible as in everything kills you? HP should only act as a buffer until you can get your lockdown started. For me personally being able to tank 3-4 hits without diamond skin is more than enough time to get my lockdown started against almost everything (except maybe succubi/mages with shielding or something). Against packs of ranged I try to quickly judge whether or not the pack is worth my time killing (if they're mobs that like to run away with shielding + extra health I'm probably not going to waste 5 minutes killing them). If you swap out a shield for a source of course you'll be losing EHP but the goal for the swap was to have a tighter frost nova lockdown with less holes for the mobs to actually attack and to maximize damage output.
I don't see why you need to face tank ghom. If you're farming him in your runs you could just do a simple shield swap and kill him like you used to or you could kite him around.

D2 teleport was too good so we now have an ersatz of teleport which should work as follows:
Teleport through the ether to the selected location up to 35 yards away.
Well i run some tests and put the results on imgur. Feel free to try and guess the outcome!

Hy i'm just wondering if anybody has any info on familiar atack speed.I'm currently playing an cold sorc and i noticed when experimenting with skills that my familiar fires alot faster when i'm using ROF compared to any other spell or regular atack, it looks like 3-4 times faster, which would make the familiar do 3-4 times more dps than normaly if each atack still does the same 20% damage (don't know if if does).
Has anyone noticed this?

Any advice/builds for Rakanoth? Once I killed Ghom I thought the BS was over

Hello people,
so I am kind of clueless how and what I should improve on my gear.
I can run act 1 inferno easily but when I go to act 2 it is just not worth it since I die at least once on every second or third elite pack.
I know my gear is not top notch but I am not even close to be able to afford those really good items.
I tried different builds and the wicked wind meelee one seems to be the strongest.
I kinda feel that I should be able to farm act 2 with my gear, maybe I am just too bad of a player?!
Well here is my profile link:
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/okinoki-2293/hero/245824
Any help or suggestions on what to buy next or my build is welcome.
Act 1 is getting real boring right now..
Cheers

lots of problems with ur build :
WW and archon arent efficient for you because you dont have even CLOSE to enough resists to be able to tank enemy damage to make them efficient. If you really want to use WW build and use critical mass, then I feel that you must have spells that really benefit you when you do it, aka frost nova and diamond skin, energy armor. Overall it feels like ur build is slapped together trying to be too much at once. On one hand, it uses tanky spells like archon, WW, and one one hand your passives scream 'kiting build beware'
If you wish to go WW, which should be fine with some all resists and crit improvements, then use a build similar to:
frost nova, energy armor, diamond skin, WW, teleport, explosive blast and passives like critical mass, blur, arcane power (or w/e its called). There are many more passive options of course, but these would help.
If you wish to go a kiting build which is what your gear really points out to be, then something like:
arcane orb, venom hydra, diamond skin, energy armor, teleport, magic weapon and for passives, glass cannon, arcane power, blur (I prefer blur over dynamo cuz dynamo doesnt really slow champs anyway.) This is the build I use, and I was able to complete act 3 and 4 with similar gear to yours. Not farm well ofc, but act 2 is DEFINATELY doable with ur gear.

Thanks a lot for you reply.
Actually the current build on the site is not my actual one since I was experimenting with archon now. But it is not quite working as you pointed out correctly 
My 'normal' build was a ww one with
frost nova
explosive blast
diamond skin
magic weapon
energy armor
ww
with passives
critical mass
blur
evocation
Sorry for the confusion but I didnt think about that ;D
Well anyway thanks for your tips, I will try the kiting once again. But the tanky one is way more fun to play imo..
Any thoughts on what to upgrade on my gear next? All res? I get around 700ish with energy armor (res rune).

Don't you lack crit damage? or maybe it's about your weapon. Your DPS doesn't look tooooo good i think.

Sure I do.
I was looking for a ~800 dps wand with loh, apoc and a socket but those things are really expensive :o
With ww my dps is around 30k.

Your armor is really,really low. Easiest place to get some more looking at your gear would be chest piece. You won't notice the small ar loss there and can get a piece with more int and high armor. And use force armor, you can use the 5 crit rune in act 1 and prismatic in act 2.

What are you dying to in act 2? If it's to elite affixes I would consider swapping magic weapon for teleport with either safe passage or wormhole.
|
Yea mostly it has been to those affixes. Just upgraded my armor&all res and I can now run act 2. ffs.
Thank you all for your tips, teamliquid best site ever.

Hi guys,
My friend needs help on his wizard. We are playing together Barb tank + Wiz act2/3.
Basically, he needs a build to dps down stuff i am tanking, while being able to survive some stray hits, or kite loose mobs.
If someone who has exp could help 
(his gear http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Pipetta-2273/hero/108730 )

Hey guys,
It seems to me that after the patch. I can go back and use living lightning and end up with almost the same as WW. Although it doesn't work as well, I let you save money from buying those expensive apoc. What do u guys think? is it possible to go back to the original cm build?
Anyways, this is my current gear. I keep that apoc on helm just in case i need ap for explosions.

I think the updated WW/CM build now is with Storm Chaser instead of Wicked Wind. You can also use Deep Freeze instead of Cold Snap since you're going to be killing the trash so you can keep the +15% crit chance buff up.
|
I see, storm chaser works very well with living lightning.
|
WW: Storm Chaser and Shock Pulse: Living Lightning are incredibly strong together. You can walk over normal mobs, and kite tanky elites. I prefer glass cannon, galvanizing ward, and Arcane Dynamo. Arcane Dynamo sets up a unique chain where I can drop 1 or 2 Tornados, 5 lightnings, and then another 1 or 2 tornados, which deal additional damage. I'll also run with Prismatic armor, force weapon, and sparkflint and then crystal shell whenever a vortex or wall happens to trap me in.
|
I'm running Hyrda/Blizz right nowm but I've been told it does very low dmg compared to other build. Since I can't afford Critchance I can't run any Critical Mass builds and I would like to know what I could run instead? Any suggestions?

how the hell do u guys deal with goblins w/ the ww build?? arrrgh
