i'm in act 2 of hell and have around 2.5k armor (with buff), 7+k dps and around 16k hp.

getting pwned like mad. i've tried various builds including low vit + force armor but doesnt seem to work, usually takes a number of death + marathon around the map to kill 1 pack of elites.

vampiric / mortar melee mobs basically forces me to skip

Im level 51 wizard aith around 1.5k armor 19k hp, 6k dmg also keep dying sweat.gif , maybe need to find some party member to cover wizard.

I did some weapon shopping yesterday.. Bought a lvl 42 staff that has 261 max damage..  I believe this will pretty much double my damage output..
Also, can't wait to level to lvl 50, because I got extremely lucky to buy a crossbow with 477 dps for only 2.5k gold lol, which if I could equip now, would add extra +6~7k to my current damage output.. My damage will be decent pretty soon! biggrin.gif

477dps? blink.gif is it 2hd weopon?

nod nod lol.

damage now near 6k liao, can still do good damage in hell act1 imo, still glass lol

I sacrifice alot around 1500 dps for 5k of hp, 250 hp regen per second, 1000 armor.
If not i can reach 8k damage, but the sacrifice is worth, 6500 damage is not that bad, currently at hell act 2.
Some of the champion monster we cant use kite method, because they are keep throw bomb on us, but if stand beside the monster, the bomb wont hit us becoz theres a minimum range for that bomb. biggrin.gif i just standing beside the champion and spam my attack to kill it. (diamond skin + energy armor + blur + and using shield).

Hi Fellow Wizard,

Need to know why my damage not going up anymore

Current weapon is dps 225.4 and over 1k int but 3.4K dmg seem to be very low to me

[attachmentid=2856491]
*
Glass cannon and magic weopon?
225 dps weopon is not bad but u still able to look for better 1.
And your str and dex looks alot hmm.gif , mine only 100+. Or u can choose those with attack speed increase equipment.

hi, just wondering how these skills work.
for example, im using energy armor with force armor rune. i got 24k hp atm and pretty sure elites in inferno would hit me 35% of my hp. so i put glass cannon as my passive skills. as you know glass cannon lower down 10% armor and resistance. my question is, does using glass cannon make me receive more damage than 35%? or just the same which is 35%?
*
Not sure but i think if the monster hit u more than 24k dmg u will die straight. Force armor Only works between 35% to 99% of ur hp. Correct me if iam wrong.

Build looks good. Would personally use Venom Hydra, but I haven't tested Arcane one much. When your enemies move much, Venom hydra is normal. When they stand still, venom hydra is nuts tongue.gif (basically poison pool stacks like mad)
I select the arcane hydra due to the temporal flux combo with blizzard which make the enemy double slow down.....

i dont know how...but without diamond skin, i can't even survive in act 2 inferno. that also enable me to take only 3 hits from elites.
Erm, maybe i can swap the magic missile to diamond skin? hmm.gif i guess i will not using magic missile much, itjust for incase theres only 1 monster.

Yeah I know. Actually, does this create extra slow? If not your blizzard already slows ma. Plus ur missles slow as well if you use them much. Doesn't that kinda mean ur hydra slows aren't such a big deal.

Damage on Venom is pretty good to pass up tongue.gif (or maybe I should go try arcane hydra more lol)
*
I know venom hydra does awesome damage but is it suitable for kitting? Since normally We need to kite when we meet fast moving monster, the venom hydra do not much damage in this situation.
Thinking maybe swap magic missile for diamond skin, coz most of the i wont use the mm while kitting? What do u think? hmm.gif

Yeah kinda true. Depends on the mobs I guess. Regular mobs hardly need to kite except select few. Elites seem to be hardly affected by the damn slow =(

Sounds good to swap them out. Differing opinions on primary skills actually. I hate them, and use arcane orb instead for dmg and with temporal flux. Guess unless you have insane att speed, something like MM isn't gonna be useful.
*
So maybe for primary i will test either celestial arcane orb or diamond skin hmm.gif
Cant wait to test how this build going to work biggrin.gif

When I play solo, I can easily keep my 5 stack of valor buff, even kill Butcher in my first try..
But when I join a party/group, its so freaking hard to kill one blue mob pack :-s
What am I doing wrong?

DPS 41k (without Flint)
HP 25k
Resist 150~188
Damage Reduction 38%

Should I reduce my DPS to up my defense or should I just solo and farm by myself for now?
not sure but i think if theres 2 ppl in a party, monsters hp will be 200%, if 3 ppl will be 300%, and 4 will be 400%.
correct me if iam wrong. but luckilly damage not 200/300/400% sweat.gif

Erm depend on ur skill build and preference, like Sky.Life he use signature spell thus attack speed is important to him because signature basically is 0 cost so u can spam as much as u like, so the faster attack speed the more u can spam, the more dmg u done. But for me i dont use signature spell, i switch between blizzard/arcane orb/hydra these cost a lot AP so is not really spam-able, and blizzard and hydra rely on ur dmg to deal higher dmg not attack speed.
*
Attack speed does increase damage for hydra, its tested. The damage over time pop up faster.
Not sure with blizzard but i believe its same, since they are both damage over time skill.

Guys, i pump my armor till 6700, all resistance around 500 with physical resistance 560(prismatic armor), with hp of 30k, passive skill blur.
With such high defence i think i will be fine but normal monster in act2 still hit me more than 10k sweat.gif shocking.gif feel sad and angry after i spend so much gold to buy good armor with high resistance 1.... If like that i better go for force armor with low resistance build doh.gif

Yeah personally I just pump vit which is cheaper, and use force armor. But I believe going into act 4, will still need some sort of resist, not sure if vit and force armor alone will be sufficient, hmm
*
Some ppl said resistance need go till 800 like that, but i not sure will it works, since its very expansive to reach that.
Btw, my euipment comes with vit too. mostly int, vit, all resist.

there's a bug in the wizard world currently
life after kill, when you re-summon hydra, for example u have 2000 life after kill, after each resummon u get 6000 hp

depends, if you think you cant kill the elite just skip it. for me, icy quillback invulnerable minion still easy. the skeleton axe holding thing invulnerable minion is also easy, just they rack alot of HP

wow thanks for the tips, i got very low life regen so i think this trick totally help me.

top up with force armor (prismatic rune) then it can buff up further the armor and resistances. downside is I lose dps but I think I'm still doing more dmg now as am wacking creeps In the face instead of wasting time kiting.
force armor and prismatic armor is a rune, while the original skill is energy armor.
