Yes of course, otherwise shields would be utterly worthless.

As a relatively sucky Wizard, what are some things I could aim for to improve? http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Terranasaur-1719/hero/28680556 For your gear I suggest crafting some set items if possible. Your chest, pants, helm, and bracers could all be a lot better with legendary stat rolls (also try to get +cold skill damage on bracers). Use your blood shards to gamble for a good source. If you have some spare gold upgrade your gems a little bit because just upgrading them all 1 tier will give you like 300 int, and that's significant. As for the build this is the last one I was using as frozen orb before I went disintegrate - http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#acjNTS!cZRX!ZcacZZ You have fire damage from your weapon and sparkflint, arcane from blackhole, lightning from storm armor, and cold from your attacks. Blackhole works to stack everything up for frozen orbs and gives extra damage buff. Storm armor with power of the storm is actually really significant because it gives 5% damage from elemental exposure from the random lightning damage, and the lowered arcane power costs is basically 10% more casts on frozen orb. If you don't use archon and teleport you don't need evocation and can use in their place astral presence for more arcane power, magic weapon for more damage, and the storm armor. Arcane dynamo really isn't any good at all for frost either, and blur will give so much survivability. | ||

Crimson mat in A2, that makes me want to kill myself. | ||

 Actually, according to calculations, a 6% reduced resource cost has about as big impact on disintegrate as 9apoc, with 50% cc.Any ideas what legendaries I should go for, and how to farm for them? I would like to replace my legacy ammy for one with +arcane, but I havent found any...  http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/SlkCascade-2516/hero/22556342 thanks. | ||

But exactly how do I "get some sets"? I'd love to, but is there some trick? I'm just doing rifts. Is there more to it? Thanks. | ||
