That guide is kinda worthless as it was already stated in first post there. It is just plain list of best items, when you put them together, it wont work. my next suggestion would be a black weapon and triumvirate. | ||

It's completely out of date and wrong now. No mention of blackthornes, chantodos, nat's... No mention of stacking IAS/breakpoints, no EHP stacking, etc. Stacking crit dmg as an important part of the build..? It may have been reasonably OK before 1.05, but right now it's pretty much 100% inaccurate | ||

Chants is the only source that gets IAS as a special affix. Conversely chant's cannot roll +elemental dmg% -- that's a special source affix for trium only Looking back in the thread at your original question, it struck me that your wand is actually not an IAS wand. I saw it was unsocketed 1150 dps, and I just assumed the random affix was IAS. Since it's not, you could actually swap the 2CC to twisters affix for 8+ IAS affix (perhaps netting even higher base dps) and probably end up over 2.73 attackspeed. That will help quite a bit. It's hard to give simple suggestions for real DPS increase since your budget is capped at 30M. You're at a point already where your significant upgrades are going to be costing you more than 30M/piece. You are right about Zuni boots -- completely useless for your current setup. For shoulders Vile Ward, as suggested by Daphreak, is definitely a good choice, although you may lose some Vit here in order to find a reasonable price. | ||

 By the way, since you're thinking about a new wand for sure now, you might wanna find someone on here with an EU account to let you test a wand out, either Open socket or +IAS, preferably both. You may decide you're ok at 2.5+ breakpoint using an emerald+socket wand (massive boost to sheet DPS which means more real dps so long as you're not losing breakpoints/cc/mitigation/etc).... OR you may realize you prefer 2.73+ attackspeed using a +IAS wand, with lower sheet dps (but possibly higher or comparable real DPS and freeze-ability due to more crit mass cooldowns & apoc return) All in all, going either open socket or +IAS should benefit you much much more than your current +2twistersCC wand :D | ||

First as u can see im using a shitty wand right now and with those 200 mil i could get a pretty sick wand with 200 more dps which will be a 20k dps bump. or i can get an average cc mempo, a sick one is def out my budget, which would gain me a lot of ehp and allow me to switch the zunis for some nats, even more ehp, and later on get a cc nats ring for the massive cc in the set bonus. that would def be my endgame gear. im gona do both obviously but im not really sure what i should start with, not really sure what order would benefit me most in the short term as both options are long term oriented. I guess ah sniping will probably be the deffinitive factor though hehe, as last night i was gona buy a wasnd but ended up buying my apoc chants coz i got it for just 135 mill. | ||

Of course when I'm paragon leveling I use socketed stormcrow but for ubers or MP7-10 there's really no point when the cc roll is so much better for CM Wiz. And of course it can't roll socket & cc, it can only roll 1 or the other :D | ||

besides cc being > socket, i dont really care for socket in helm i dont xp farm, if im running archon i run full mf.... the xp will come eventually. but yeah we use it for the apoc and loh, whith a cc roll on the random affix. but besides that it is actually a pretty good dps help as the 7-8% elemental damage and the 3-4% bonus damage to elites is noticeable. actually if i switch to a 150 int 8 ias 4.5 cc mempo its about the same damage as my other double int roll stormcrow. | ||

I play on the Korean server and recently converted from a shitty archon to CM/WW. After the 1.05 patch, it seemed like a no brainer to switch to CM/WW to benefit from MP levels. Since I am forced to play on the Korean language pack, I might mix some of the skill/item names so bear with me. This is how far I managed to get with 100 mil: http://kr.battle.net/d3/ko/profile/Heen-3171/hero/6028689 I do alright in MP5 and MP7 is doable but highly inefficient. I've saved up 50 mil to spend and I'm contemplating whether I should upgrade my CM/WW build or get some tweak equip for archon mode for paragon leveling. Here are some ideas I've been throwing around: Blackthorne(?)'s Boots the set item in addition to my chest + pants for 7% damage bonus to champions. My displayed DPS, HP and even AR will almost certainly drop but the armor boots and set bonus almost seem worth it. I guess it depends on how much they'll end up costing. I'm at 2.33 aps and upgrading to 2.51 will mean a chantodo's source which is crazy expensive with apoc. So I'll need to switch my Andy's to a wizard hat with apoc. How much apoc (currently 20) can I live with @ 2.31 apc and 51% cc unbuffed? The Korean forums are full of trolls,elitists and generally bad information. Always highball the minimum stats to aim for. I'm at a point where switching one gear leads to another and so on so I really want to know how much is just enough as long as I don't play terribly. What's so good about Storm Armor - Shocking Aspect? This is supposedly the best choice if you want to increase your actual DPS in game but after running around with it in hell mode to test it, it seems way overrated. Hits 1 target every 1-2 seconds for 100% damage. 'Chance' to hit on crit for 35% damage, also single target. I've tried runs with and without Storm armor and I honestly can't tell what the fuss is about. It takes 4-5 hits to kill a single heavily wounded regular that's chasing me. Casting speed is supposedly unaffected by weapon speed for most, if not all of CM/WW skills which would mean the only reason you would get high attack speed is to get more procs from WW for cooldown/apoc. So you're DPS would be kind of inflated compared to your actual DPS since energy blast and such is not affected by attack speed assuming you're getting massive cooldown reductions from facing 5+ targets at which point slightly more procs wouldn't improve your speed of spamming skills as significantly as your increase in attack speed. Also, Critical Mass and Cold Blooded obvious must have passives. What about the third? Which is the most popular? I've tried: faster cooldown - also can't tell a big difference blur - seems retarded since you rarely die to melee anyway. the last one (saves you if your life goes below 30%) - seems nice to have when it saves you, 90% of the time does nothing. astral presence - only when I use force armor I refused to gear my character with anything that looks downright stupid (stormcrow, tal rasha's armor purple, seriously? inna's pants etc) but after spending time on my calculator/spreadsheet, it looks like I don't have much of a choice. | ||

http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/heen-3171/찰스/6028689 If you want to level paragon get a spare helm with socket, tal rasha's cost nothing. Your gear is fine except for your weapon. I guess you spend too much on Lacuni and Witching Hour and couldn't afford a better weapon. Get a better weapon. | ||
