Don't forget to give away your gears! Still trying to gear up for Act 2 Inferno... drops have been terrible for the past 2 weeks for me.

Guys, for wizards, I'm trying to boost up my DPS, currently only 12k (15.5k after buffs). Which is better to boost DPS, +INT or +DMG?

Both actually, there's no DMG/INT.

i am thinking to change to melee wizard also.. buff up all resistance, add life gen per kill/hit, add amour, then anything else? now only hv 700k gold. donno the transformation is gonna be successful or not.. noobie jz reach lvl60 actIV hell.. need sifu's guide here

can... 400k can easily do well for melee wizard for act 1. but your dps will suffer a lot so need to farm with a DH or a glass cannon wizard.

also need crit hit chance.

wtf, nerf IAS....chii 50k going to be gone

btw, why u guys do siegebreakers runs? not do azmodan runs?
azmodan very hard to kill ?

p/s: just passed siegebreaker, didnt reach azmodan yet

@J-insight
i spent about 1 mil in general buying 50+ all resist items.
then i went to act 3 inferno.
DPS only 14k
crit % 29%
drit damage 110%
INT about 800 - 1k (i cant remember the exact amount already) but is considered low
my life per hit 850,
armour 8900
phys resist 1100 resis
all resists 1050 resis

kena barbarian buff = all resists 1400.
still cant tank well there... stupid gargoyle mobs kite me...
my metoers miss then no life steal then GG.
now i know how monsters feel when we kite them lol.

my advise is that you dont need high vit. medium/low vit with resist all is enough.
but you really NEED atk speed, INT, Crit damage, critical% to bump up your dps.
my dps too low not enough atk spd & INT

any tips on my used skills guys? what to add/replace/throw away
skills are arcane blade - deep cuts
meteor - star pact
force armor - prismatic armor
diamond skin - crystal shell
frost nova - lower cooldown
force weapon - 15% dmg n knockback

critical mass

wow guys, just reached lvl 60 and never know the game give money and magic item buff after lvl 60 (But still extremely hard to find legendary items...)

BTW i still in hell Act III, my damage from the spec is 33k but my health is only 13k, am I so typical glass canon? (I have use all lvl 60 items.. .most of them still lvl 57 items)

btw I notice blizzard + piercing orb is so good for solo and support, what my wizard does is:




whenever a pack of elite come, sure to send either my barbarain (if mp) or my templar (if sp) front, I release at least few hail storm on them to do the aoe and aot damage, then non stop shooting piercing orb which is kinda high damage + pierce through all enemies in one line. And of course, my venom hydra does lots of helps as well!

Being 32k output makes hell ACT III super easy... but sometime still got 1 hit killed by elite... or those self-explosion mob (fanatic something one) hm... wonder if I should change my build.

Yesterday I tried to play 2h Wizzard style.. simply just not the way I like it.. everyone said signature spell sucks.. but then i seems to like it a lot..

Any wizard want this 2 hand axe?
want to let go at a cheap price

ray + bliz slow effect stackable?

@achok no cold slow cant be stacked they will take the slower cold slow thats all.
temporal flux (arcane slow) and cold can stack.
tried the cannonball familiar and ROF combo quite nice. slow kaukau,
or blizz arcane hydra
ROF= ray of frost

Ray of Frost..
Guys how do you pass act 2?
My wizard easily died in act 2. the lacuni mortar is too painful

Mortars need to be avoided, period. When they launch mortars, you can see the angle one, then quickly stand at a safe distance (you can continue shooting while doing this). Get at least 12% movespeed boots if you're finding it difficult to do so.

Assuming you're on a glass cannon kinda build, you'll need to be avoiding stuff.

What is glass cannon kinda built?

Any build where your concern is stacking damage, instead of defensive stats. You know, as powerful as a cannon, but as fragile as glass

that's me...

same except I swap force weapon for the wave of force thingie... gives myself breathing space if too many elite mobs surround me and also to deflect for mobs with slow projectiles

I think the familiar will be more useful? since mostly u spamming arcane blade? not sure overall dmg output better or magic weapon.

maybe also can.consider slowtime..which increase your attk speed

lol I prefer survivability over dps because always in public games only. leave the dps to DHs and glass.cannon wizards...

what skills you recommend i swap out?
skills are arcane blade - deep cuts - my dps
meteor - star pact - for my life regen and damage
force armor - prismatic armor - for surviving
diamond skin - crystal shell - for surviving
frost nova - lower cooldown - for surviving
force weapon - 15% dmg n knockback - for abit more dmg only.

i would say that my force weapon is the most useless skill.
swap it with familiar? if i use slow time should i swap it with frost nova?

also what do you use to proc your critical mass! any other skills other than meteor?
i tried twister - wicked wind before that was not bad (only if got alot of mobs. 1v1 monster i kena rape
