just came back from dinner, ya didnt know AS will increase so much number, i when i saw u all have 40k above dmg while i struggle to reach 40k btw my vit is low 763 only around 27k hp, only left bracer with 89 int with no vit to upgrade later.

still got barb buff xD

the lance is better, all those element dmg is already added to the dps number and i think i read from somewhere they dont actually do anything, there used to have additional effect on beta but blizzard remove it already

Teleport (Fracture) + evocation or with illusionist, i pick illusionist as the better option, no matter how godly u are, u going to get hit in inferno and a wiz with force armor can at least take 2 hit. The 2s reduce with evocation is not going to save u when u in tight space map or meet fast elite/waller. Diamond Skin can only take like 2 hit then u will be waiting to die if your teleport is still in CD, but with illusionist, when ur in diamond skin and get hit 1 time, u can teleport out without taking any dmg and 2 mirror to distract.

Illusionist can also help buy more time for DPS, when meet mob, cast teleport for the 2 mirror to distract/tank, stand still DPS, when mirror out, diamond skin tank and continue DPS, when diamond skin break, teleport (illusionist will cancel ur CD) again for 2 mirror then DPS. That can buy u like 3~7s of standing still DPS time. If u get hit again then u going to reduce 35% hp, cast teleport again then start running/regen and by the time ur diamond skin should be up anytime.

Those are invulnerable minion, u have to find the 1 boss elite that is not invulnerable. Kill him and those invulnerable minion will die together, sometimes the boss elite also can cast invulnerable but is not permanent like the minion, so just wait invulnerable over and kill him.

regen is always nice to have and is not useless, if u have high regen then u have to go low hp and high resist. Some wiz have like 15k hp but very high resist that work well with force armor.

Unless you have godly armor + resist, else prismatic will not be good enuff in act 4 inferno. The rule of thumb is if the mob hit u more than 35% hp then use force armor, else use prismatic. But prismatic offer more when dealing with arcane or poison pool and those DoT cast by elite.

Act3 and act4, i solo farm act 3 siegebreaker with force armor, 4k+ armor, 500+ resists, blizzard + hydra kiting, 240% GF and 40k "pure" dmg (2 handed mace + int) no attk spd nor cri modifier. Yeah my gear is not good coz no money to go cri build.

Btw can tell how much resist and armor u have ? and how much % hp lost on average a mob hit u at act4 ? using prismatic my resist up 700+ but act4 mob can hit above 50% hp per strike, but with force armor, i only take 35% and u said nobody use it

My thought is similar, regarding the wiz melee build, for the fun of it is ok but i think is not worth it, coz it hardly work at act3 or 4 unless you have godly gear. If similar amount of gold spend on gear between melee and kiting, kiting build will take you further

Still need decent number or AR else even with Force Armor those Arcane/Fire Trail/Venom Pool from elite will drop you in 1s.

a lot $$$$$ coming in but i wonder 30% cri dmg+main stats more dmg or 30% against elite more ?
