Do not get mislead by the DPS on the weapon or the damage on the detail, is a number calculated by blizzard formula for noob frenly. Just like adding attack speed will instantly added damage on the detail make no sense. That is because those noob frenly figure are calculated by a perfect environment where mob stand there let u free hit. Even if u added attack speed (+12%) but still doing 1 spell per 2s (either no AP or running from mob) how it gonna increase ur dmg ? For real dmg, see the number below the DPS or see the dmg done on mob. For Wizard that use blizzard + hydra, if u going for 2 handed, choose mace instead of sword even it display the same DPS for both weapon.

Since u said u use a signature spell yes 1 hand is better, i just wanna point out those DPS u mention does not reflect ur real dmg.

just kite them and let hydra+bliz kill em. if u dont mind kiting some normal white mob,
u can replace living lighting with wave of force/rune stun, so u can fight those elites.

with this build, the only elite is skip is the invis snake, where they got like fast+jailer...gg

You're ideally not supposed to get hit at all in phase 3. Since you're at phase 3, just start moving when u see his hand animations. Ppl generally have probs in phase 2 compared to 3, so u should be able to defeat him once you figure the whole not getting hit thing

This:
I'm quitting if this patch comes to be. Not like I can't re-equip, but a little tired of blizz telling me how to play. Personally am a big fan of huge movespeed/attspeed style, so yeah.

I'll see you guys in some other game

Yeah bro, Im 2nd next to u, pay to being told how to play is kinda lame, wanna get some rest after non stop D3 for a month. Wait for TL2 I guess.

Exactly/ I do understand in certain sense why they wanna nerf, but I don't think the manner is acceptable in a full release game.

I totally respect the 2 hander style, but like you said, I went 1 hander because I like the style. I like feeling mobile, and doing fast casts while moving/tele-ing around like a bawse. If I just wanted DPS, I could have re-rolled a DH 

And take care bro
Yeah that's the worst part, already pay for game, still being told how I should play it.

And to those who are gonna rebutt me, yes I know attack speed will still be there, but I like the insanely high ones. Anything below 2.3 is not gonna cut it for me, don't wanna play that style (not like it doesn't work, even melee wizards are viable). Just a preference thingie

i think u need to combo crit rate & crit damage % then only can see significant increase in dps
