Rocking a wizard with a shield

How to ruin your game by buying cheap rares from AH

700 Intelligence and 400 dps at level 26, can easily one shot bosses and mobs


Le Build

I have a 35 dps weapon that time. Now I have a 45 dps weapon at level 33 and doing 800 dps in act 1 nightmare
Want to be level 45 so I can get that 115 dps weapon so I can double my dps

My wiz is level 41 now, currently using this build. Plan to replace Prodigy with Temporal Flux once I get it to apply snares on mobs with Magic Missile and Disintegrate, then finish up with venom hydra

Yes, using the same combo here too

Is this legit? 128k dps

Kite him around the holes

Stuck where? Act 1 Inferno is quite easy. Act 2 Inferno is doable, but not without a lot of deaths.

Act 2 Inferno says hi. It's very hard to dodge invisible snakes, leaping cats with firebombs

DPS is not as important as survivability though. Did Diablo inferno with only 17k dps.

I did him last night. No enrage timer. Only thing worth noting is that now:

- You can't cheese shadow clones anymore, they don't despawn now
- You can't cheese the fight by trying to get Diablo stuck in his bone cages or a map corner
- Getting stuck in bone cages will definitely kill you
- He casts more often in P3

For my wizard, inferno Belial is by far the hardest boss. Azmodan and Diablo have similar difficulty, however Diablo is actually easier depending on what tactic you employ.

Differences between pre and post patch 1.0.3
- I did Diablo both pre & post patch 1.0.3, both are doable with the proper tactic
- No noticeable difference for me, except that Diablo has improved pathing now (doesn't get stuck as often) and shadow clones don't despawn now
- His spells still oneshot you if you are not careful

The build that I used: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wiza...;afd!cZZabY

The only thing that hard about Diablo are the shadow clones, most of his other stuff you can dodge and avoid using line of sight.

For wiz, shadow clones come in 3 flavors (in order of difficulty)

1) Arcane Orb + Venom Hydra clone - IMO, hardest and most dangerous shadow clone by far, can easily oneshot you with arcane orb (even in patch 1.0.3)
2) Shock Pulse + Meteor + Frost Nova clone - Second hardest, really take the time to avoid meteor as it is capable of oneshot. I got a huge scare last night as I got frost nova-ed and Diablo and meteor was on me at the same time.
3) Energy Twister + Teleport - Easiest clone

For guides, I really recommend this vid
