So is it just me, or there was some massive ninja buff to wand droprates?? UPDATE: 6 wands in 35 hours on seasonal Wiz. This is getting crazy... UPDATE #2: 11 wands in 77 hours. Come on, someone surely must have noticed this... | ||

 Can I get some advice? http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/SlkCascade-2516/hero/22556342 1) What legendary gems should I use? I guess one in each ring, but is it worth it in the ammy? (Don't feel like replacing the 98%CD on my dear moonlight ward!). I was looking at the +damage gem when cc:ed, working well with my current disintegrate build having slow from temporal flux. Other one would be the +damage 30 seconds after killing a boss? Not sure, don't think I've seen all legendary gems either. I guess that +damage stacks linearly with the +arcane, +disintegrate and +elite group? 2) I guess I need to change build? I have been enjoying disintegrate and arcane, but i understand there are other much stronger builds around now. I was thinking of aiming towards Firebirds + mirrorball + wand of woh? Anyone got a strong char with decently complete build they want to show off? (I know you do!  )Thanks! | ||

Also firebirds. I can't really get my head around it though... What is the main damage dealer? Blizzard deals 1000% damage over 6 seconds, averaging below 200% dps (that is how it works, right?) which should be pretty insignificant damage wise, and doesnt count to firebirds as it is cold. I assume you are after the chill for cc? Black hole, even with the fire explosion rune and doubled by firebirds, can't deal enormous amounts of damage? Just cc, right? No one has any cool down reduction either, point against BH being main dps. Is it then the fire hydra that is main dps and manage to trigger firebirds "burn until they die"? You need to deal 3000% weapon damage in fire in 3 seconds to trigger that right? Hydra does 3x400% = 1200% over 3 seconds, and BH has cooldown. Also if hydra is main dps, then why do people have furnace instead of serpent? I am obviously missing something... How does this build work? | ||

I looked at a few of the wizards on the single player GR leaderbord (that actually left their gear on). http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/FluX-2768/hero/323609 http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Puzzler-2328/hero/20594502 As you say, they have blizzard with 30 yards range, fire black hole and some support spell (2 hydra, 1 arcane torrent) with fire damage and teleport-safe passage.

Blizzard - Apocalypse is fire, that's what you are missing. The main damage comes from firebirds + the constant barrage of blizzard, hydra, black hole that will stack up the damage quickly. | ||

It doesn't say on the description! > : ( Well, then it fits I guess. So time to start collecting pieces then. Currently at.... 0 firebird pieces! :o Is blizzard stronger with a slow weapon, or does it just go on DPS? What about hydra? Is that (part of the) reason these guys have the furnace with attack speed 1? | ||

Black hole triggers strongarm bracers, which is what top wizards use nowadays. | ||

They use furnace because it does a lot of dmg vs elites and the dots from the firebirds will be higher, which is all that matters with that build. | ||

I second this. Fairly easy to play, can be done with rares, and gives lots of control. | ||

No, probably better to first get the 6 firebirds before I switch to that build. I guess my disintegrate build will have to do for now. | ||
