I spent 5mil today (the bulk of m ingame savings) upgrading my cm wiz, and now I dont know what to go for next.
I have:
2.74 aps
45% cc
69k dps

I havent had much problem on mp7 with dieing, so I mainly want to boost my dps if possible.
Here is my full character sheet

I'm looking to play again on my wizard. What is a good build I can run to start farming? He's lvl 56 I believe. Also what kind of stats should I focus on with the build?

I would start with getting a wand with a socket, adding a radiant star/marquise emerald in there would bring you at least to 100-120k. Then grind your ass off and get tri/quadfecta rings, your lack of crit damage is whats hurting your dps the most currently. After that, maybe get some ice climbers, with 220+ int, and a socket, 70+ AR, and 50-100 Vit. Then some new pants, you can get those same ones with quite a bit more int/loh, and with 2 sockets.

What you want is the archon build. Google for a guide, or go back a few pages in this thread and you will find links to it. ppl come and ask for it all the time.

I'm amazed how ppl can play cm/ww with so incredibly low defense, full offensive skills, and still not die all the time on MP7...

given to your budget you wont be able to do all this at once, so choose whatever you like
DONT go for sockets in BT pants. armor+AR! (expensive)
switch stormcrow to +cc instead of +int. if you dont care about movementspeed, get rid of lacunis for some rare 100int 140vita 70AR armor and ideally +single resist. with this you have to buy a witching hour. get rid of loh on ring. and last but not least, your offhand has low avg dmg, try to find one with nice random roll too (vita? or -meteor req, since you use that. definitely not +orb cc)
and about socket in weapon: dps increase is nice, but you would have to find missing ias elsewhere.

in general, dont care about your dps that much, rather focus on life sustain (180k ehp is low). this means +armor and +AR everywhere you can get it and if you have unused random roll (vilewards), go for strength (1str = 1armor)

I guess others are better at dodging stuff like firechains/lightning/... it is sad that i am forced to have teleport as sixth skill (because teleport in D3 sux), when i go for meteor instead i die all the time

Running with Crystal Shell and Cold Snap runes over Diamond Shards and Bone Chill is probably what keeps him alive.

I know someone did a 5 mil build for a ranged barb and awhile back someone did a 5 or 10 mil one for DHs. Your best bet is to just to type that into youtube and see what you get. Unless you want to rummage through 100+ pages on these forums, starting from the beginning. Plus they are out dated and are most likely a whole lot cheaper. You'd be just as well off if u decided to put in a few minutes every day to scout for items that people seemingly want to pawn off.

I just started playing again after a 3 month "adventure" and jacked all my heroes up by like 10-20k dps for about a mil a piece. Three mil for my wizard, you gotta spend a little extra on the beast. :D

We need more info. What build are you interested in? Archon farming, blizzard farming, CM/WW? Do you have any gear at all or are building from scratch? If you already have some things, then we can prioritize which upgrades are more important, etc.

CM/WW , i dont have anything. Just starting to gear my wizard. Are there some common gear for different builds? Maybe i can start with that, but i will stay with cm/ww i think.

Have you read the guide on cm/ww?

As for must-have items, I would expect a 30M build to include chantodos set and a stormcrow, but the guide-thread should give you more reliable information. glgl.

Edit: chantodos wand with ias is probably a good choice, as it will likely be the cheapest route to the 2.64 breakpoint. Go for at least +0.23 atacks per second and 9% ias on the wand. More if you find something good. Don't be afraid to go down a bit in dps, you can upgrade later.

I'm looking for some pointers on how to proceed with my cm/ww wiz.
This is my gear right now(used for chill mp8 farming):
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/snipealot-2168/hero/2575607

I have a few different necks that I use but I have yet to roll a neck with cc, ias, loh - it's the loh that I feel keeps me alive in the higher mps(mp8-mp10) but is there any easier way to get 800+ loh than from a neck? I have a pair of blackthorne's jousting mail that I use when I need more survivability (can go 45k hp, 550AR 2.74+ aps with the 10% ias bubble and still have 100k sheet dps) - but I kind of want the teleport when I play solo.

Any pointers?

Any pointers?

Its hard to tell where you're going with your current gear set but here are somethings you can consider. First off, the 2.73 breakpoint isn't too important for regular farming so you could swap to your neck and run tele while using ias buble for ubers. It also seems like you take blur to increase mitigation but I believe evocation might be better since most of the damage cm wiz take isn't from melee anyways. As far as gearing goes, swapping pants and neck to double blackthornes could be a good start(ammy has LoH and ias on it by default). You would gain a lot of vitality from this and this would allow you to swap out your ring for zuni's ring(ias/cd) for more damage and AR. The issue with this is that you might not have enough crit and the only place to get more would be on your mempo. Your armor and AR also seem really low. With cm/sns, you want to prioritize mitigation(ar/armor) over health and damage.

Hi, as others looking for a bit of advice for future gear on my CM/WW wiz. Recently came back to the game a few days ago and would like to do what's best!

Currently farming mp7, but the dps isn't up to snuff, still takes quite a while on the 25m hp elites. I have about 100m that I can use if there's anything that could help, I would be more than appreciative.

Thanks!

Weapon with CD or socket. Calculate before if you still hit the 2,74 breakpoint with that change though.

it is not your dps I would worry about. how is your survivability? 550AR 3,9karmor is way too low.
things I dont like: LACUNIS! stay away from those until you find really really really godly ones. zuni ring. 2 piece nat combo (get iceclimbers and rare ring).
minors: chest lacks armor and/or AR. offhand could be nicer.
overall i guess if you managed to stay above 2,74 breakpoint, biggest dmg improvement should be gem in weapon

edit: now I see two wtfs in your skill setup: deep freeze wont help you against single yellow 25M+ HP monster. and what the hack is that rune in armor?
