As a fire wiz myself, is it a waste for keep using force weapon rune for the 20% increase dmg?

I do believe 86% Fire Damage for 3 sec is even better especially when it can be boosted by +Fire% damage.

Gotta love the new RoF damage. I have an azurewrath and frostburn.

Newbie reporting in!

its a nerf for RoF imo.. the initial 30 cost will put a huge reduction on the amount u can spam so dps will actually go way-way down..

hope this dont make it to live server, but from past exp, this is probably what we gonna get..
gg indeed.

edit : also this means an official end to kiting. no more hit and run coz this means u have to stand and deliver to minimize the initial cost. f***in lol

Hmm, based on my experience, after using cost reduction (>20%) + Tal rasha set + Astral Presence + APoc + Storm Armor (AP cost deduction), seems like the AP's draining rate is managable. Plus, that's without using the rune skill with less AP cost.

Although i will agree on what you mention on spamming it, since user may have to run often, hence using instant '30 Apoc' is very painful. Unless i use diamond skin for extra AP reduction. Again, very unbalance to sacrifice a skill slot just for RoF -.-

please change back to old profile picture... for obvious reason.

+1 ...

Cannot mayn, my girl want to kill me liao.

Nanti she disintegrates me

btw this post has been sort outdated this is still v2 can someone start a new ones with at least ros builds ?

still nothing from developer so far.. lol
will probably revive my wd and go for a pet build. now collecting shards and spamming them with wd to hope for a mask of jeram (add pet dmg 80%)..

lol currently ROS build post2.1 for wizzard is simple:
1) MM/hydra

pretty much

or WoW, though WoW at tor5/6 would be at a bit of a disadvantage

yup with a significant boost in CDR for Event Horizon, shit is real for this build. Arguably 'no cost' yet effective.

Now im thinking how to adjust my wizard gearing towards Firebird set items post 2.1.

Tuan am I missed anything? CDR for black hole Event Horizon?? How come I didn't see it from 2.1 patch note?

Oh no la, what ayam mean, just invest a lil more CDR for Black Hole - Event Horizon for awesome combination.

did they increased the spawn rate of winged assasin and those polo club wielding flying f***ers?

most of the time when i use wiz i seems to get a ton of these guys.. impossible to kite zzz

damage control kicked in:

"I don't think our philosophy quite matched up with the actual changes that took place. Channeling spells, as the name implies, should be most effective when time is spent channeling them for a few seconds.

We recognize the additional Arcane Power costs we implemented in the initial 2.1 PTR didn't accomplish this goal, but rather disincentivized using these skills. In the next PTR, you'll find we've removed the upfront Arcane Power cost from Arcane Torrent, Disintegrate, and Ray of Frost. In addition, the damage these abilities do with now scale upward over time, rewarding you for spending additional time channeling.

These changes more accurate portray our design intent for these skills - that the longer you channel, the more reward it brings. Let us know what you think, especially once we patch the PTR and you can give these changes a try in practice. "

I met this rift on T5 yesterday, omg, awful experience, all the range mob! can't remember the name of the mob, but u can imagine all sort of range attack from arrow, bee, fireball, green power, ghost.. the whole screen is full with their bullet.. >.<


Is the source "The Oculus" useful ?

Same here, almost 90% of my rift experience these days comprised of those pricks.

Means......back as usual i suppose? and additional damage increase..

I wouldn't say its not useful, but based on my experience playing at high torment level, most of the teleport skills is used to escape situation. Not wrong, but it doesnt help the team at all. I would prefer the Orb which grants Wormhole rune skills. I believe that's useful when it combines with illusionist. Not to mention the upcoming wand which grants 0 cooldown for teleport, which brings back the question........what's oculus for again when this wand comes kicks into game.
