1) 4 set Zuni is a must. You need that 20 mana generation.
Yes, you have to stack a lot of IAS if you want to go on top of DPS chart.
But it will drain your mana fast, which is not really good for WD @ high MP, IMO.
Mana is very important for WD in dishing out burst damage skill. I think only ZD-sacrifice build doesn't need mana.
This is why I said WD has a quite a different build.
2) Pros and cons between 1H & 2H.
The major benefits of skorn are, beside cheaper price (as compared to 1H+mojo), (1) high base damage (2) 6% LS (3) Mana management.
I started off playing 1H + mojo. I tried to gear mana generation on voodoo mask+mojo+ceremonial knife.
And after using skorn, I found 1H build just doesn't have efficient mana management like 2H skorn.
Mana is very important for burst damage skills, generally.
3) Wiz has extremely fast arcane recovery through APOC gears + attack speed +passive.
WD does't have such fast mana recovery.
Therefore, to make sure mana doesn't drain or drain fast, slow weapon is used / IAS gears not required.
As mentioned in point (2), 1H drains mana, that's the only concern.
4) For WD, it is the choice of skill > DPS.
INT, you keep in the range of 2500-3000, that's normal. The more the merrier.
CC, keep more than 40%
AR/VIT/Armor are important. It's all bout EHP. Keep your EHP at around 500K (based on 3dup, with jungle fortitude passive). If possible, keep 600K to have a comfort play.
5) Yes, it's EHP after all.
For my CM Wiz, attack speed is very important. Need to get 3.0 attack speed or more as it affects LOH and APOC recovery. And these eventually affect the survivability.
Because the very first concern for me is to get 8-9% IAS from 9 gears (in order to get 3.0 attack speed). Secondly, I need to get CC.
I'm not sure about others, for me it's not easy to keep 5K armor if I want to achieve +80% IAS and +54% CC.
Not so easy and cheap to get those "perfect" gears.
