I know some of you guys run that permastun build so I figured I would post this here to see if anyone was interested:

Also, my current A1 inferno farming build is as follows... http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#RlQOXS!YfW!bbYYaZ
Are there any suggestions that people have to improve the build at all?
My current stats:

p.s. The main reason I still use my Diamond Skin is for the reflecting mobs.
edit: oh and those stats are with self buffs

guess I'm levelling my DH this weekend And I'm still just brute forcing my way through things with Arcane Orb. This is a sign of destiny. AO is fine but I don't see it being fine in A3 KITE KITE KITE KITE cast AO KITE KITE KITE KITE KITE cooldowns up cast 2 AOS KITE KITE KITE KITE whereas in A3 I expect your cooldowns to do nothing and its more just hit/run/pray. Just finished the keep and killed Ghom (also soloed through the Silver Spire up to Diablo when I got bored of farming). Wish me luck for Azmodan, I guess. could you post your build and stats?I am interested to see how much hp you run. Also to the guy above me ,does your build have enough damage to kill the butcher before he enrages?

He's on act 3 and 4, ofc he has enough dps for butcher.

Well if you're still asking me about build:
Arcane Orb (Tap the source), Venom Hydra, Force Armor, Diamondskin, Force Weapon, Utility (frost nova, teleport, whatever helps vs what I'm against)
40k hp, 44k dps, 4400 armor, 250~ resists

Magic Weapon -> Force Weapon (increase to 15% attack). I have limited shots since Orb eats energy, so I want maximum impact force on each shot (also using 2h weapon for that).

Why are you even farming butcher with those stats? Mine are worse, and i just finished act 2.
As to your build, i would suggest that instead of blizzard you try out AO with celestial orb and the arcane slowing passive, i found that quite good in act 1 (or in general, actually). It slows the enemies for a smaller amount of time then blizzard, but you can still kite them just fine, and it does a lot more damage since it hits a larger area and does full damage to everything it hits. If you feel confident, you could also take familiar with 12% rune instead of teleport/diamond skin.

Have been using your build, has been working out fairly well(thanks for it) in Act II, however I am having ahard time with a lot of elites, how do you deal with any teleporter/jailer/mortar?I seem to just get destroyed. Also, how do you guys feel about the 12% ms ?I have read it before in this thread but it seems reaaaly usefull for kiting.

If they have an overabundance of problematic mods then there's some things you're just not going to kill. You can handle some amount of jailer by using teleport, but if they're stacked up with ranged abilities + movement control, that's that.
Elites in general can be tricky because I'm relying mainly on crushing targets while kiting them with some snare - mobs with huge hp can just keep coming.

I'm awfully new at these games, but I haven't found any signature spells to be better than charged blast magic missile. They all just seem so weak. am I missing something?

Also to the guy above me ,does your build have enough damage to kill the butcher before he enrages? Dude, he has almost almost 30k dps, I take down butcher easily with 19500 damage. Venom hydra + blizzard with coldbloded = boss. Personally I'm running with arcane orbs with obliteration as well though, for that extra nuke, getting an arcane orb in after each butcher-attack does quite a bit of difference as well of course (and I personally don't find any need for teleport in act 1).

Sometimes I just don't get it how the FA works anymore, I just got hit for 40k mortar looking thing (A4 normal mob) and was 1 shotted when I have 35k hp. And other times it takes hits that would hit me for +50k easily...

They all just seem so weak. am I missing something? More or less, but it depends on the situation. If you just want single target damage, charged blast magic missile is definitely the best, but you might want to use the homing rune later since it's nice to be able to attack enemies who aren't even on your screen when you get to late hell/inferno and they start to hit hard. The only reason, IMO, to use the other signature spells is if you get some other benefit than damage from it, for example living lightning to get a ton of crits (because it hits a lot and fast) or electrocute with the rune which lets you regen AP with it.

They all just seem so weak. am I missing something? nah they pretty much suck. But Electrocute with chain lightning is decent. I also run 'prodigy' passive, so i use it to regen AP.

For Belial (normal), I know crystal skin is a must but what would you guys recommend out of the following: Arcane orb, disintegrate or meteor? Teleport or mirror image? Magic weapon or familiar? Wave of force or something else?
I'm playing HC mode and died to him once already so I want to make sure I have the best active skills this time.
