If you refer his posts just 2 post above the one you quoted, he's in inferno.

How's melee build in act3/4 btw? If it's working decently, can share your stats (the detailed one)/equips here? Done with Diablo, thought if this is fun and doesn't cost too much, I could try regear to this for the heck of it

correct.

yeah this is good too.

100% agreed, later difficulties need to change combo can survive one but need good tanker only.

as i advised, check earlier post.

Inferno Act 1 is still like hell mode la, easy.
You'll need more HP and DPS, at least 40kHP, 20-50k dps and more resist and armor. when u proceed further and u'll find per hit 600 is pretty useless soon, % HP leech better.

whoa thanks to you guys' suggestion. Yesterday i went AH, spent around 70k golds bought an yellow katana with 750 dmg. (and plus 200-450 arcane dmg). My output jump from 8.4k to 21k. Woo hoo now Hell Act 1 became piece of cake...
(except my hp still 5.6k, any elite/ champion touch me then gone case again )

Hi ellimist, solo is still pretty easy and manageable, myself find it really hard melee with 2< players in inferno.

May i know what's your built? There's alot of ways you can play any characters, but i so far only tried Wiz highest level.

keep hitting mirror when hit, you won't die that easy

and yeah 1 more thing, i notice lighting hydra gives the most damage... not venom... the mammoth hydra waste of time...

venom hydra is very good on mobs that dont run around alot. (if u can tank the mobs then venom is best cos the damage on the floor 15% stacks with more shots)
"At least 15 AP gain per critical hit to ensure continuous stream of meteor"
ooooh are there items with AP gain? no wonder i cant tahan only few meteros then always no mana.

you can also try this build
Here the combo
MOuse left : Spectral blade - deep cut
MOuse RIght : twister wicked wind
1 - Diamond SKin - Increase absorb
2- FrostNova - the increase crit when more than 5 creeps
3 - familiar - below 20% hp every 6 seconds tahan 1 hit - OR force wave stun (run away/safety net skill)
4 - Energy Armor - Increase All Res

Passive
1. Critical mass
2. blur
3. Reduce cooldown

I prefer blizzard for right click. Slow down the mobs plus poison hydra. Den u go rampage with electrocute hits. Energy amour and weapon add Dmg skill is a must for us.

eh guys what's the projectile dmg for venom hydra? it doesn't explain in the description man. (lighting is 32%) only know each projectile will leave the poison pools on floor...

That simply means it does the 'standard' Hydra's damage. I have to disagree about Lightning Hydra being better tho (as would the Wizard forums). Venom Hydra is simply out and out our best spell right now. Once the poison pools stack, hooo boy do the mobs die fast.

Hi,

My most generic build:

L. Magic Missle (seeker)
R. Arcane Orb Tap Source
1. Tele (wormhole)
2. Force weapon
3. Venom Hydra
4. Force armor

P1: Glass cannon
P2: Temporal Flux
P3: Illusionist

I use this more compared to blizz as a pure preference thing. I find it cool throwing bowling balls rather than blizz. Somehow just makes me feel abit more mobile, compared to the blizz one. I know it sounds weird, but it's just a personal thing.

I do of course switch depending. Like in act 4, I use fracture specifically to handle Oppressors. I do at times use the blizzard instead of arcane orb (And then replace magic missle with piercing orb, and swap out temporal flux).

Or for Diablo, I swap out arcane orb for wave of force (specifically to knock back the fireballs which I know I can't walk away from), and flux for galvanizing ward.

But yeah, you can generally see I go with the kite-ing build. Feel's natural to me, I generally play casters/wizards in mmo-s


But venom has imba stack zomg venom poollls!!11111oneone



It does the standard % , an additionally the pool does like 18% per pool or some shizo

Yup, Venom once it stacks it's zomgbbqsauce. Proly only against very specific mobs who don't sit still, lightning might be better, but then you have other spells to handle those. In the majority of our farming, Venom is the way to go.

btw my guys stuck at act 3 interno. (beginning)
suffering alot with glass cannon build (slow 2h staff weapon)
but im too poor to get any other eq sets. (only 100k left)
where do you guys recommend i farm at? (for decent gear. i love meelee wizard but everything in the world 1 hits me cos i have not enough resist)

im stuck now cos soul rippers tongue raping me LOL. repair bills are expensive...

btw my gamertag is Kantamlobot#1717 pls add me lowyat pro wizzies.

Soul lasher 1 hit you? Attack speed helps, but if you're getting 1-shotted with force armor it means you don't have enough HP, so easy way is to pump up HP a little. Around 35k or so should be able to take on soul lasher oredi. I hardly have any resist iianm, bout 160 physical resist? lol

35k hp i have to change about 5 pieces of my armour already
i have no monehhhhh haha. damn... any of you pros can recommend where i can farm enough EQ to tahan act 3?
my dps also very low only haih act 3 is very depressing

K I'm the worst person to ask when it comes to farming lol.

Um, but I guess if you can tahan Act 2, choose one of the runs and do that repeatedly? As long you can get 5 NV buffs and kill elites constantly, loot will eventually drop, and you can sell those to fund your new gear. Just do whichever is most efficient for you, and importantly allows you to stack 5 NV and utilize that stack.

Currently have a 900++ Dmg weapon. 2H that i bought from AH,

I use primary is the lightning orb i think. Cannot remember what its called.

when a description says 300dmg then below it says deals 200-300 arcane dmg, does the damages stack? Dies it make the weapon have 600 combined damage?

bro ellimist may i know what is your current dps?

For 2H weapons, you should aim for > 1k dps, if can go up to 1.2k or more.

I believe the "200-300" arcane dmg is suppose to be elemental, but most say elemental don't do jackshit currently, apart from cold.

After force weapon, about 51-52k. Mostly inflated by attack speed to be honest (my attack speed is about 2.9x)

hw low is ur dps .... when u say low

full int gear and 1050 dps weapon my dmg only 31k ( i have very little aspd cos its too expensive to buy asp gears) crit also low crit dmg also low!
all also low ahaha. with rm100k left in my bank since they nerfed royal crypts farming spot! dont talk about rmah im not willing to spend real $ for items. usd and ridiculous pricing just makes it worse.

my life around 20k only. abit of a miracle to pass act 2 ahaha
