I switch between a blizzard and archon build with http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Kalis-1505/hero/566421

I have 100m, trying to decide if I should build a ww/cm set or just improve my current gear.. Thoughts? I have a barb friend so killing ubers isn't a big deal.

anyone tried arcane dynamo with archon? if u keep up the beam does it always keep the 75%? wondering if it would work with ubers.

anyone try this uberdeath build, and have any comments on it?

i have been trying out the uberdeath build--it is crazy strong. here is a guy who did it and put up a youtube video:

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/7415512291

when i did it, it was critting at 1.4M constantly--insane--with my setup.

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

finally found an uber build other than cm/ww. although, the uberdeath build is apparently best when you have a cm/ww wiz doing the tanking for u. one issue i am having though is with siegebreaker. the crits are too high and my ls is too low so i instadie. gonna find a skorn and retry with that. also, because its constant attack (cant move around or do other spells) and random shots, its easier to die outside of ubers because you arent getting the constant loh/ls like with archon. still working on this.

best part of this build is that when you get real close to the ubers, you hit with almost all of the blossom for lots of crits. sexy.

when im running sns im at 145k dps and i run mp8 for efficency, mp10 if i feel like grinding.

core, damned,keeps2, rakis + fos and skycrown takes me like 35 mins in mp8.

PS: I posted my setup is a few posts above this, its sns right now not archon

how is that armor working for you? i have 4300, 680 phys res and things like spearmen, archers, tremors are nightmare (even with wormhole you cant always freeze everything). only slots, where i could increase armor are either things like stormcrow/witching hour, where random property is already taken and dps slots rings/amulet/gloves

its that ar thats hurting you. My phis res is at 860 and it helps a ton, specially combined with 1050 loh and having a nice life buffer. i still die a couple times in a run but mostly due to me being careless or tp behaving like a dick.

To go up to the higher mps ur gona need more ar and dps, id start with the ar to get the foundations up first if not rd will massacre you. u can still push that armour higher too, seem many 5-5.5k cms, but if u get ur ar over 800 that armour should be just about enough, though the more the better for both.

I wish there was a way to show someone your profile page with a "go to saved" option, that way I could let you look at two of my current setups for SNS... :/

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Alesso-1854/hero/2945079
Using this setup I feel a bit harder hitting than my other one (minus the meteors in that one). it's 165K sheet DPS vs. my 145K sheet DPS in the other setup. The other setup replaces Mempo with my Wiz hat [200+ int, socket, ~700 armor, bit of dex, 10 APOC, 4.5CC, nothing else], and zuni ring+boots combo with Nat's combo. I go up to around 5400 armor in that, retain same-ish AR because the nat's ring has 78 AR, gain ~6CC (nats combo = +7CC, but my nat ring only has 3 base CC) <--- this lets me run Meteors instead of teleport or time bubble. It's amazing DPS, gives me probably 1.5X the damage that standard SNS gives me.

Or I can keep the mempo on, use IAS time bubble instead of meteors, and that puts me above the 3 aps breakpoint which makes things pretty smooth, but less damaging than meteors


On any of the above, MP9 feels just right. MP10 is still perfectly do-able, but there are deaths for whatever reasons, and there is also considerable more time taken to kill things :S

Really don't know what to go next. I can burn through mp0. Can tank mp5 pretty comfortably if I change my skills up a little. I swap diamond skin runes/evocation for glass cannon and the crystal nova runes depending on what mp I do.

get a chantodo's force if you want to go cm/ww wiz; get a black weapon if you want to go archon/dps wiz. the trium is not being adequately used when paired with a chantodo's (elemental bonus dmg is based on black, not elemental dmg) so either use a black to adequately use it, or get a chantodo's force to get the set bonus on chantodo's.

black = pure dmg, no elemental bonus dmg on the weapon. your chantodo's has 255-550 fire dmg on it.

Yeah I made quite a few stupid buys when I first got this character to 60. Should I get a cheaper chantodo's force for now to farm and then upgrade it later or save and buy a good one? I'm super poor at the moment.

archon is the best way to farm exp and items, and low level black weapons are dirt cheap. i would go with that. after you get some money, or some lucky drops then you can decide what route you want to go. at this point cm/ww and archon are the only real options.

I've been following this thread for quite a few pages, but I can't seem to find (or maybe I missed it) what dps stats are important for an archon wizard.

Is there a stat that is more important than the others? Thinking of attack speed, crit, crit dmg etc.

Thanks.

generally, cc/cd is considered most important for an archon build, but like ximae said all of them increase dps so they are all important.
