Even so, it's ******* ridiculous how hard Act III is now, seriously. I'll do some thinking of how to create a build based on never getting hit in the first place instead I think, as trying to absorb damage is just too much to ask now. | ||

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#aRYglP!WUT!cbZabZ  I wanna squeeze in TP somewhere, I'm just not sure it's worth it, as it is sooo much worse than it was in D2. | ||

At least with the regen build, you still had to kite and put some effort into it, but with CM you just stand on the spot and derp. You need to stack more vit now, but it's still as broken as ever, whereas the regen build has been completely neutered. Only problem is that it's nigh impossible to get the ranged mobs to stack together so that you can freeze them before they one-shot you. (At least some of the ones in Act III are insta-loss for it) On May 24 2012 04:48 Kipsate wrote: wait you guys use 1h?I thought 2h was the way to go. Honestly, it's all about DPS, so use whatever you can get your hands on off of AH, regardless of whether that is a 2h or a 1h + oh. | ||

I use a lot of slower attacks - faster attack speed on arcane orb doesn't really help because I'm capped by regen anyways, so I prefer weapons that do more in a single attack (2h). However, faster attack speed lets you kite better, and that's priceless. | ||

Stacking dmg seems much better way to go, I already kill small mobs with 1 blizzard alone and ray of frost burns through 1million HP in a few seconds (50-100k non crits). Could potentially see close to 80k DPS with really good weapon and +2k int. Hydra in my opinion sucks, blizzard does kiting and killing trash easily enough without needing it and casting RoF for even 3-4 seconds does more dmg than hydra in 15 to single target. Using blizzard/RoF/frost nova/magic weapon/teleport/either familiar dmg or FA, depending what i'm doing. | ||

Normal mobs hit me for 40-80k and bosses well over 100k. Can't really see you having high dps and being able to take more than an arrow or two in any situation, even with FA.

I'm using this build Temporal Flux for slow on hydra and arcane orb and teleport with wormhole goes along with Illusionist to gain distance to spam SP and AO, and I´m still using FA with DS. Any thoughts? Anything i should consider changing? | ||
