dear chii, u got the dps and resist but if u up ur armor to more than 6-7k then shud be tanking alone d in act 4
u need to have balance ratio resist to armor have effective life pool
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5836324621 if tldr key point is armor plays important role in def too
Added on September 8, 2012, 12:52 pmdepending on ur play if u want solo get dps around 40k then max tanking- armor resist get life about 40k. like this u can partial kite and tank
if cannot survive and keep dying its no fun anymore even u got the dps.
wiz has strong magic def - the prism rune + passive reduce melee actack 20%
thats mean every armor and resist u add is 65% more u can switch to glass cannon if u think ur def is over to boost ur atk
if u pt wif monk(regen) and bard(boost resist) u will be more tanking then them
with good def, every life u gain (either by LOH/regen/life steal) will improved its effectiveness.
morever crystal shell is the ultimate. its literally means u have another 21k of life in 6 sec and with 15sec cooling. 21k EFFECTIVE LIFE!!
in the same time when u are in god mode u are regaining some life!! wiz def is totally awsome
With monk's Mantra of Healing & Barb's War Cry, I have 8K+ armor and 1700-1800 AR.
With Diamond skin/Crystal Shell, Wizard is indeed a very good tanker.
I prefer Diamond Skin/Prism because I can spam twisters.
But Crystal Shell is certainly the real diamond skin.
I just completed inferno with my Wizard. Also my 5th hero to complete Inferno.
