- elemental damage on items - skill damage on items - damage increase from passives, familiar, or temporary debuffs on hits. I am running with a lot of different +% damage passives atm, and I am trying to understand if each one actually gives the +10% damage it says, or if they get less effective.  I assume the three points above are multiplied, but I am not sure if all the passives and debuffs wok on the same +% damage, or if they have one each. thanks. | ||

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 I think you've changed some stuff up since you posted, but a couple suggestions: Your boots would pair well with Unwavering Will. I'd put that in instead of Evoc, you really only have one skill with a cooldown. To finish the "standing still" thought, use RoF Sleet Storm instead of blizzard. Low hanging fruit would be a better hat with APOC. It really helps for any AP spammers. Getting one with Intel, APOC, and Crit Chance--should easy enough to at least get a drop with two and then just roll the third. The bonus would be with Vit/Socket and +max AP. | ||

I basically just glanced over some top wizards at diabloprogress, but I don't really know much about the class or RoS. Right now doing random T1 rifts/bounties, and trying to get a shattered core for devastator weapon (more +fire dmg) http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Momo-1667/hero/28789136 i think the go-to fire build requires a mirror-ball (offhand) with two magic missiles. you will also need magefist (gloves). your amulet, which is very good, has the wrong element so needs replacing. shoulders should have armor instead of life regen. helm should have socket instead of loh. cindercoat needs three sockets, i would dump the AR. for build, i dont know the current iteration, but basically magic missiles with conflagration and meteors. | ||

SoJ would be a pretty huge upgrade if you get one with decent stats, but theres other things I might target first via gambling since rings have quite a high shard cost. I'd aim to swap your Aughild 2piece onto bracers replacing the sanguinary to make room for an Andariels with % fire damage helm. Alternatively, you can keep the Aughild's spike and go for Strongarm bracers, which are amazing with Black hole. An amulet with % fire damage would help a lot, even though you'd be giving up tal rasha 2/3 piece (unless you are lucky enough to get an Allegiance with %fire). If you do get some other legendary amulet though, it does free up your belt slot for a Witching Hour, Harrington, or even just a Fleeting Strap/Hellcat Waistguard. I'm personally partial to Harrington, as it allows you to keep all the defensive affixes but still get a major offensive boost from the item (you have to give up all defense for a WH and Hellcat, and only get 1 defensive affix for Fleeting). | ||

Oh, that is a bit surprising! Great info, thanks for link. I am most surprised by almost all passives and skill buffs add with +skill damage on items. So my +30% disintegrate isn't at all worth 30% as I am using familiar, magic weapon, unwavering will and elemental exposure! :o So +arcane (elementals go by themselves) is actually worth more than +disintegrate, even for disintegrate. The big exception is audacity I guess, that goes by itself. It's like a hidden buff to short range wizards. | ||

And I guess general advice would be great too. usual gear + fit in resource cost reduction wherever possible without losing too much. also, try to get at least some apoc on your gear, it helps a lot once you have good gear with 55+ cc. oh, and try to get a disintegrate bonus on your boots. on the helmet, its also a nice to have stat, but socket, cc and int have priority. id then rather have 500 armor or 700 vit on the helm than 15% bonus to disint (which will stack additively with most other buffs and thus is far less valuable than it might seem..) | ||

vyr's seems decent if you are doing an arcane build. tal rasha's final bonus seems silly since most people are focusing on one element, not all elements. | ||

General consensus is RRoG, Aughild's Shoulder + Bracers, 2-3 piece Vyr's, Witching Hour, and Andy helm. I think the rest of the slots depend on your build. Tal Ammy, Armor, and Source is pretty good if you are willing to give up mirror ball. My ideal setup would be: RRoG SoJ Aughild Shoulder Aughild Bracers Vyr Pants Vyr Gloves Vyr Boots Witching Hour Andy Helm Tal Armor Tal Ammy Tal Source Weapon of your choice depending on the build. You get a large amount of elite dmg / mitigation plus 2 full set bonus, which is pretty sick. | ||
