D3 dps doesn't take into account the 7% elemental etc. Also w/ stormcrow the 7% lightning, Also w/ zuni doesn't take into account the 7% poison. No this is incorrect. Sheet dps does register +elemental dmg%. It does not register +dmg% to skills, such as for what is found on Frostburns. It most certainly does register the elemental dmg% for things like Trium, Zuni boots, etc. You can toy around with black weapons/black dmg affix things to prove this to yourself if you are unsure | ||

I just corrected myself w/ my own posted Article. | ||

Anyone have any ideas? http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/utopia-1109/Utopia/915304 You are extremely simple to upgrade idk what your budget looks like but. Here is what i would change... You could gain a crap ton off a new chantodo force. Drop the APOC on the Force you don't need it if you use stormcrow / chantodo will @ 3.03 aps and it will be 50% cheaper w/ much better damage. Also drop the socketed stormcrow get a 4.0cc + one for a little bit extra dps. You could find much much much better gloves in the AH very cheap. A new amulet would help you tremoundsly w/ DPS as well...Try and find 1 w/ IAS/CC/Avg Dmg increase/Loh(if thats what you want to keep) Also a new inna's temp would be very helpful as well...Try and find 1 w/ 80+ INT already rolled on it...thats around 6-7k dps extra.. fairly cheap also. Goodluck buddy. | ||

Goodluck buddy. This is all extremely helpful advice thanks so much. I'm hesitant to replace my stormcrow because I love the extra % experience bonus. How much LoH do you think is necessary for a CM wizard? Also, what is the ideal skill setup to farm Mp8? Thanks so much for your help! EdiT: My budget is ~300million | ||

I've been doing some fine Alkaizer style Archon runs to try and get quicker Paragon. But now I want to farm keys and don't think the same approach is viable. But don't think I have the gear to do CM and also I don't really like that style.. Love using Disintegrate but don't know if that'll work properly. But basically any other build that's useful for MP3/4/5 so the chance for getting the keys and organs is higher would be fine http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Enickma-2780/hero/3372093 | ||

And how is it supposed to be played? Just stand there with mobs around you so the Chaos Nexus hits and crits to make a CM perma-style freeze!? | ||

You CAN kite with it, you can just stand and just melt freeze stuff, it just crits great. Yeah it's basically freeze - disintegrate, freeze - disintegrate. With your CC you dont even need Energy Armor with PB, so you can use free skill for something else. APOC helps a lot - (Storm Cow or/and Triumvirate). I don't ever get CM perma-freeze style but I'd like to some day | ||

I'm currently leveling a Wizard whom I want to be my main-character, but I have no idea about the class, so would you mind answering some questions? First of all, I'm greatly interested in Archon builds, since I find the Archon to be a really cool ability. Does the Archon "Disintegrate" crit? Do those critical strikes trigger Critical Mass? Does that affect the Archon-ability-cooldown? Then I'd like to know how much one has to invest to get the build working. I only have about 25 Million Gold, does that suffice for MP1-runs? Cheers guys! | ||

Cheers guys! Archon wizards need alot of dps to run along with good all resistance and 24 movement speed. Good starter gear would include Zuni boots and armor and a pair of Lacuni's. The rest of your should focus on critical chance and critical dam. To run mp1 I would say 120k dps 500 all resistance unbuffed | ||

Gloves and jewelry are where you are really going to get hurt on the build. Get as much attack speed and crit chance as you can on all these slots with the rest of your money. Make sure you look at the breakpoints listed at the link near the top of the guide and try and ideally hit the 2.51 attack speed, but you'll probably have to settle for the 2.31 point without a witching hour or lacuni's. Maybe even the point before that. Good luck! | ||

Here's my totally poor CM wizard, I think I've spent like 2-3 million. I don't have 2.51 APS, but he still kills shit really fast, at least in mp0 and mp1 (the only ones I've tried so far, I think he can do mp2 and 3 too without too much issue) and he doesn't really die, except when I mess up and take several Molten death explosions simultaneously. Stuff like that is what the teleport is for. Personally I think the key to budget CM wizard is to get some proper Life on Hit up, because if something somehow manages to get through the diamond skin, you're gonna feel it no matter what, so you should have LoH to heal up the next time mobs get frozen/crystal shell comes up. Big spike damage (i.e suicide fallen, molten death explosions, multiple arcane sentries, (one is fine though) etc kills me so I'm not at the point where I can disengage brain and collect rares. Not yet that is. Oh, and do yourself a favour and use the autohotkey script in the CM guide thread. I don't think it's physically possible to farm for a long time with this spec without such a script. PS, anyone got a cheap Tal Rasha's Relentless Pursuit? | ||
