Got one of those Lantern orb where Ray of Frost pierces just like Disintegrate.

oh my, quite good as well.

Yup, Light Of Grace. I tried ROF w Black Ice alongside with Disintegrate, not enough power in comparison. Disintegrate can kill faster. Tried on about the same Cold Damage bonus.

RoF has a smaller AOE effect, and the beam tries to snap to targets. That's why it's not going to be as good as disintegrate. Fun to play with, but ultimately pales.

Yup, compare to disintegrate. Disintegrate is much fun and much wow.

Much power, as for ROF tried to snap target, Disintegrate w Temporal Flux will do better.

As Frozen Orb slight nerfed in terms of damage output, Arcane build with either Disintegrate or AT is quite a good side option now.

I went AT. The downside of AT is the initial lag before the missiles come out. It feels really odd sometimes. Disintegrate is fun but I played D3V with that for the longest time, wanted to try something else.

Any of you guys went hydra? With the pet buff, hydra's are pretty good now.

Yeah, tried Arcane Hydra, deal 4~5m crit damage which is awesome. Still i think hydra scaled better with higher ASPD, better on my fire wizard instead.

Yup, however, there's one more thing i need to find out. If i have Azurewrath + frostburn with me, i think RoF can be a devasting build. Imagine the freeze capability plus Cold Blooded passive skill. Insane yo.

I'm not sure Hydra is consider as pet but i'm abit disappointed Hydra doesn't proc EE. It should have.

Yeah, read at Wizard forum @ battlenet. AT seems to have slight delay for every missle casted. Never try before thou i wanna play tank with Death Blossom and MLW.

Arcane Torrent w Death Blossom
Teleport w Clamity
Diamond Skin w Diamond Shards
Energy Armor w Prismatic Armor
Mirror Image w Mirror Mimics
Slow Time w Time Warp

Audacity
Unwavering Will
Blur
Illusionist

Oh my damn! my triumvirate, damn gay!

It doesn't boost my damage but when it comes to killing monsters into pieces? Hngggggggggggg

Kinda remind me the black weapon effect.

i got my triumvirate from kadala....haha. sheet dps goes down, but am i killing faster? i not so sure lolx

btw, guys, which crafted legs are good for wiz?

Utar's Roar is good for Cold wizard, Aughild's set is quite decent as well. Reaper's Warps, Cosmic Strand... to name a few.

Eh guys...quite question...


Area damage ...is it working?

Yup, based on my killing rate, even with lower dps, i killed fast. Like really fast.

I find it silly. Not something to be allocated at early stage

ok then i will switch skill points lol

anyone get mirrorball from kadala before?

hm...i also not sure. but based on blizzard forum, seems a lot say it's very good. Since all character got a based 20% chance to do area damage, so if area damage % is higher, it's better, no?

they are characters like monks, crusaders and barbs i believe?

If im paragorning from 100-200, i dont think i want to waste my points on Area damage first.

Maybe in later paragorn level.

mirrorball is very rate from kadala.

i have got:
4 triumve (or 5)
2 chandato
1 myken ball
2 oculus

then only got mirrorball. lost count on Shard spend

@Wallance

If you have not found the CDR write up in battlenet yet, let me explain :
cdr has deminishing returns, meaning the graph isnt a straight line, it curves downwards.

eg : if your are running evoc(20%) , captain's set(10%) and have a diamond gem (12.5%),
that would be 42.5% cdr theoretically, but it doesnt work that way.
Heres the formula :
1-(1-a)(1-b)(1-c) : where a,b,c is the percentage of cdr u have. In this case it will be 0.20 for evoc, 0.10 for captain and 0.125 for diamond.

1-(0.8)(0.9)(0.875) = 0.37 (will show as 37% CDR on ur paper)

37% cdr will be your final cd reduction. If you run archon pure power, that will be :
120-20 = 100
100 x 0.63 = 63s cooldown. Take away 20s for archon uptime that will only leave you with 43s of vulnerability.
I hope this helps some ppl out thr.
Now Wallance can u share the t6 solo wiz with frozen mist build?

@Pein
AoE damage is sick i heard, but it is purely for aoe. If there is only 1 mob you have 20% chance to proc. In a situation of 10mobs and when u fire your arcane orb --> pass 1st mob = boom, pass 4th mob = boom, pass 7th mob = boom again. In a nutshell : it has a chance to proc everytime ur spell hits a monster. So the damage deal is actually exponential to number of mobs present. Correct me if im wrong.
