i have been using black hole for the past few days .. and i found it quite useful in the sense of sucking enemy pack together for my ally to finish it fast ( like dh cluster arrow or barbarian avalanche) especially when in your team no other ppl is using similar "pulling skill"

nevertheless, black hole will also provide you crowd stun for 2 sec biggrin.gif

however, black hole is less effective to fat and elite monster tough

I think you are the only clanmate that owns a WoW so far. Pls dont screw up your build pls dont let us hate u  biggrin.gif

Must get :
1. born's shoulder and chest - born's key frm a1 cemetry (o'dell digger)
2. aughild helm and brac - shards plate frm a1 cemetry(dunhlyn ghost) or fastering woods(purple ghost)
3. captain's pant and belt - essense of twin sea from black canyon/severs(razortooth) or in campaign mode(stinging winds-google urself)
4. Royal ring a1 cache bag ONLY.
*thats quite close to 50% cdr in paper.

flame blade-increase 1% fire dmg for every enemies hit for 10s. At 1.5atk per sec and 3 elites you can easily maintain 45% increase fire skills dmg throughtout the fight.
tp
eb
event horizon
prismatic
deflection or frost nova cold snap(cm wiz stutter lock elites with nova and event horizon)
-blur
-evoc
-audacity
-unwavering will

melee wiz really fun with wow build ..

and i think i got a good cosmic source (teleport will gain the wormhole effect) for my build, can keep on tele and stun so many mobs, and i am always leading the party .. until my pc speed cant cope with it ><

Besides, i am now using meteor (quite effective as my cd is fast and i got plenty of arcane to spam) as my LMB until i find cindercoat and magefist sad.gif

but sometimes still easy to die if facing strong elite in T3 icon_question.gif ...

Sick source, one of the best. So much fun can triple calamity now.
Do note that +15% eb skill dmg can only roll on shoulders, chest & source.

Actually in party combat, you hardly can tele thrice, only twice due to lagness and slow hand doh.gif

blush.gif the souce roll is pretty good but core damage slightly low and if arcane power on critical changed to EB damage then better rclxms.gif

btw what is your diablo id ?

ya, in T1,T2 the delay is wasted. most mobs will die in one hit

but in higher torment, i think the some delay to gain more damage is good .. thumbup.gif

ooh no ... no wonder the source i crafted got lower DPS compared to rare one ..... it is a bug !!! =.=

so for those who going to craft source/mojo, pls remember to keep the mat until the issue has been fixed

From blue post:
Issue #2: Legendary Sources and Mojos (both crafted and dropped) are not currently being appropriately up-ranked to have more powerful base damage than Rare Sources and Mojos.

Im lucky to be blessed by the God of RNG to be able to play 15-20s cd vyr set archon and WoW arcane build. Just have some comments on these 2 builds :

1. Vyr archon with 15-20s cdr outshines the WoW build in terms of dps against >10mobs.

- My initial archon destruction deals 90m + lucky crit and 20m+ archon punch 0 stacks. It could easily go up to 30-60m per punch when i have 10-60 stacks. My unleash explosion hardly reach 30m, unless i slot in damage passives(not for high torments).
Some simple maths :
archons with 1.5 aps in 3s = 4.5 punches(790 x 4.5 = 3555% not considering the improved archon rune). At 50% cdr WoW unleash rune = 4 explosions ( 970 x 4 = 3880 ). Not sure if the WoW calculations are corect but it should be somewhere that number. That shows WoW build hits harder than archon only if you are fighting against few mobs. Above 10+ mobs, archon wins. What happens when you are out of archon? Positioning. Kite as much mobs to feed archon when its up. Or in party, u can actually deal some considerable dmg with torrent. 

2. Vyr archon outshines WoW build in terms of survivability.

-Vyr archons also have the omnipresent bubble which debuffs all foes -60% mov spd & atk spd, -90% projectile spd). The teleport skill cd at roughly 2s which means u can literally tp anytime in/out of battle. You can make use of temporal flux passive to -80% mov spd the foes. You aslso get +20% armor/Ar/damage in archon mode. The WoW melee build must facetank chains/electrified which is the most dangerous affix for a melee build. If you are playing fire blades WoW build you risk even much deaths since arcane WoW uses barrier blades.

3. Party teamwork coorperations.

- WoW is more favourable. When i played archon, not much of team presence other than dps surport and bubble debuff. WoW build? Just wow, everyone says cm wiz is back alive. At 50% cdr, your cold snap cdr is 3.75s and u freeze for 3s + blackhole cdr 6s holds mobs for 2s. Thats 5s of disabling of elites before their immunity kicks in. You dont hit harder than archon + you die if you are an amateur in positioning but its a reminiscence of the late cm wiz.

I have yet to test the conflag + WoW + MMball build which has higher dps output than arcane WoW. That build is able to go range and has much more flexibility. But for now, archon > arcane wow unless you love the feeling of cm wiz. Can any conflag + WoW + MM share something about your build?
*
wow. .. congratz .. got your wow at last ..

wow build is fun but i dont think it is the highest dps and easy to die when facing fire chain elite .. so feel weak when in T5 or T6
i think vyr archon is better in late T5,T6 due to the natural +20% armor/Ar/damage

I was reading the forum and I see some of you guys mention of a bug for 2.0.4 for Set/Legendary Source and Mojo damage nerf, I notice this with my MM Source as I was only getting 260-280 damage which i thought was kinda ought as rares has higher damage. Does the upcoming patch will fix the damage of the current items or just future items that will drop? I don't think its easy to find another MM....

ya, there is a bug on crafted/drop source

i strongly believe they will patch it for FUTURE/NEW item only, wont affect on current item cry.gif rclxub.gif

i believe most build is viable at T6 .. just matter of survival ability and how fast you can clean mobs ..

no point that you can play T6 but it takes long time to kill elites ....

to me, i believe FROST wiz is far better to survive in T6 comparing to Fire/arcane wiz

What is the average critical damage for wizard?

mine around
2.5million to 3.5million  (magic missile)
5 million to 9 million (meteor)

i can easily t3. t4 still ok. t5 1-2 dead but damn long to kill them (takes 20-30 min each rift)
mostly alone rift.

if with my friends full group of 4, t5 can easily 10 minutes (im a supporting role).

mine one .. wow build if critical proc
7-9 million each blast
23-28 million for meteor

hardly die in T5, might die once in t6 after about 10 rifting blush.gif
(remember to run for your life when red life sweat.gif sweat.gif)

btw, now i am playing wd .. much more fun and far less click than wow wi thumbup.gif
