i think cm/ww is incredibly powerful for ubers and high mp, but its button mashing (or a hotkey, which i set up). i tried the monk, which uses a similar style of mashing all the buttons at once and i didn't like it. im not hating on the build; its legit and strong--just dont like it personally. i actually want to switch back to arcane orb builds that require kiting, but its just inefficient. after i get my wiz to 100 paragon, i am going to switch to DH. i think it fits my style more.

plus, my e-peen gets hard when i increase my dps to 200k+. =D

xD only para 51 here... I like to use the techniques of cognitive dissonance to tell myself that I am halfway there.

how's that 80m/hr build working out? hit 90 yet?

yep totally true, i popped my left shoulder off on monday, its a recurring injury i have from my crazy days snowboarding. so ive got one hand only to play for a couple weeks and managing myself perfectly one handed... with the help of a macro in my mouse.

btw i did some minor upgrading for cheap on my toon, got my self some trifecta gloves with armour and vit but without ar and to compensate the ar loss i got a new nats with higher ar + loh, for 43mill. so i ended up trading 10 ar and a little vit for 8-9k dps and 170 loh. which takes me to my next indecision in my upgrade path. i was thinking on getting a cc + ar nats to hit 60cc scoundrel buffed but im really considering staying at 56.5% which seems enough and getting a cd + ar one and stack more cd to push dps even higher, and they are cheaper too.

edit: For you guys unsure wheather to gear cm style i can tell you that with just a few cheapo gear piece switches i can hit 230k dps archon with mitigations, and that is keeping my chants set if i got some archon weap and trium it would be much more. It also allows me to play hibrid archon style for higher mp or group play, where u sack one buff for nova and use ww so u smash mobs outa archon but the best part is u can refresh archon in like one mid size pack of mobs really fast.

I don't really know what I gear pieces or stats I should try to upgrade next? I mean what am I aiming for..

Also I don't know what stats I can afford to "sacrifice" to futher improve my char and take him to the next level?

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Enickma-2780/hero/3372093

I have 2.34 APS but with Slow Time - Time Stretch I buff it to 2.51. And as far as I know I'm just barely above the next breakpoint at 2.5 APS.

I only have 10m left in gold but I'm not afraid of spending a few bucks on the RMAH if it's a good upgrade.

Still I just feel a bit confused as what to do since my main concern right now is to just get my first Hellfire Ring by doing MP5 key runs. White mobs are not a problem at all and Elites really only kill me if I'm slacking and not caring. I have to be way more cautious when it comes to MP5 Ubers but last night I killed my first Skeleton/Magda pair in a longer fight.

well you would need 10% more ias to hit 2.51 unbuffed. thats getting 9% in ammy and upgrading either gloves or innas for a 9% version. coz getting an ar tals or witching is out of the budget.

I actually have a 9%ias 9.5% cc 400 loh ammy in the ah right now that i could sell to you for 10m, but u would take a hit on the int -> ar, vit and loh. vit and loh are high enough that you could take the hit, the int is gona hurt though.

Kiwikaki Do you want to use the build so the blizz kills white mobs without needign to attack it with blades? Only blades against elites? I'm gonna try that speed running, just need to know how fast things shud be dying do I can set the MP to what it needs to be at

ok kiwi, i tried your build. initial impression: damn its fast. its kinda hard to control bc you are moving around so fast, which i imagine is the whole point. thanks for pointing it out.

edit: switching to healing blades, im actually getting low on life.

As far as I know, the only skill that has breakpoints is energy twister, so for your current build it doesn't matter, just see what increases your dps the most. Although I suppose more attack speed would let you cast more living lightning, which would mean more procs. But anyway, for regular casting there are no breakpoints like in D2. 1% attack speed makes you attack 1% faster, etc.

I just found a nice IK armour and sold it for 20 Million I want to blow on my Wizard.

Here's she:

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/jan-2432/hero/22127844

Since only the belt was more expensive than 2.5 Million, I figured I could get upgrades quite easily, but boy was I wrong.
Even minor improvements cost and arm and a leg.

How much would I have to invest in gear to farm the keywardens and ubers at a decent pace in CM build at higher player levels?

First thing you need is apoc on your gear you have none. If you really want cm/ww for high lvl I would invest all your money in a chantodo set then from there just work on get your attack speed in other slots up as high as u can

Kiwi, when you say "good gear" for this blizzard build, how good are we talking? Can we get a reference point?
If we fear what we do not understand, then why is ignorance bliss?

i was able to do it with my setup. i died a few times (you dont stand around renewing your life) and had to switch to healing blades and stop every once in awhile to prevent that.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/dAPhREAk-1843/hero/3929813

i think if you have below my setup, it will be difficult. if you have better than my setup, you should be fine.

also, you can do this build with any set of gear, it just depends on how fast you want to do it. if you cant do the build fast because you are dying then its a useless build and archon would probably be better.

i actually decided not to use the build anymore. it requires you to pay attention, and i like to watch movies on my other screen while doing runs in archon mode, which requires very little attention.
