EPTUnless the ias on the Chantodo's is enough to bump you over a breakpoint, wouldn't an Occulus or Tal Rasha's give higher dps and APoC for the same price?

Zunimasas Boots, Tal Rashas Helm,if you can afford it a Witching Hour Belt, if not a decent Tal Rashas Belt and some gloves with CC and CD. Rest of the gear looks okay for starting Inferno. Try to get a life steal weapon eventually, but i guess for now your damage is still low enough that you can do with blood magic. It can be worth it to level with Cains Set, but only for very elite few of players. I have a 260K Archon Wiz and i don't think it's worth it. Better get a hellfire ring and a higher ruby in your helmet. | ||

I tried the archon build and I just couldnt manage to keep archon up with huge gaps in mob groups. I am really liking this meteor shower build with LL though it works great. I am wondering what I should upgrade next? My rings or weapon seem like the best option at this point. If I upgrade my weapon I'm going to take a HUGE hit to my HP pool though. Any thoughts? http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GreatAjax-1155/hero/2086741 Ajax To get your archon build working you need more movement speed. Lacuni Bracers are the most common choice for that. You need to kill fast and quick to keep archon up, adding movement Speed and DPS helps the most. Also I don't recommend playing on anything higher than mp0 with your gear, you just don't kill fast enough. See if you can get a cheap Triumvirate of the AH. The elemental damage they have can be quite a big boost to your DPS, even if they have lower average damag and stats. | ||

I've read the thread about the build which says you should have around 18 arcane power per hit (minimum) - at the moment I only have nine, but I don't know which piece to replace. Storm Crow is the obvious choice to get more arcane power on crit. They cost a small fortune with high critical hit chance though. Arcane Power on crit 18+, around 40 critical hit chance a decent attack speed is just a must have for this build. It just doesn't work well without it. I'd suggest getting a Storm Crow with 10 Arcane Power on Crit. Eventually you'd have to replace some the attack speed you've lost from the mempo to get back to the breakpoint though, probably through a witching hour or through rings. 3 Attack speed more would put you just above the same breakpoint you currently got. Also consider getting a faster weapon, 1,62 is really slow for a chantodos. The build started working well for me on around 40 CC, 2,5 attack speed and 19 arcane power on crit.

Also i prefer doing mp1 with cains set then mp3 without cain set, its actually much easier. And how do you get a hellfire ring? | ||

(ring and amulet are easy attack speed upgrades) You need to get 7% attack speed to get to the next breakpoint, depends on your budget. Amulet or left ring are the obvious choices, but it will be costly to find similar alternatives | ||

But today with my meteor show I was able to do MP3 pretty easily with zero deaths and a lot of rares. I wonder if Lacuni's or Tyreal's would make the difference between me being able to do archon or not. Honestly at MP0 with my gear archon seems pointless because I can do MP0 with almost any build. Its the higher MP levels I should be aiming for I suppose. I'll look into a Triumvirate, I don't really see how it could be such a big upgrade over my current source, but then again nobody has really explained  Thanks again!http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/GreatAjax-1155/hero/2086741 | ||

If you have a black (non-elemental) weapon (like you do), then the +% gets applied to your overall dps. That is where the +15-18% comes from. As far as doing MP3 and getting more rares, that becomes much less of an issue once you get some more paragon levels for MF. With your DPS you should definitely not be doing MP3, it's simply too slow to be efficient, for exp or items. You can get a +~40% MF amulet and get a similar benefit to going up a few MP levels. | ||

it is essentially skycrown --> tower of the damned --> keeps lvl 2 --> rakkis crossing + fields --> arreat crater with the option of doing caverns of frost and core of arreat as well if you want more loot, but less XP. He claims it is 20% more XP efficient than alkhaizer runs, and that it is viable for any class. Does anyone have experience and/or an opinion on this route? | ||

Thanks again! Ok that makes sense. So I will try to upgrade source first then. Should I be getting more CC on my rings or is my CD ok? Not sure where to make the small changes without spending millions on legendaries, since I'm pretty poor still. How can I break 100k DPS before buffs? | ||

He updated it a bit later with this one I think some people said he wasn't the first one who came with it, but it's effective anyway. I tried it a few times and it seems to be pretty good, but I didn't measure XP/hour or anything. What's really good is that in these 3 zones, you can keep archon up nonstop. | ||
