dot till 190m lol.. T6 is like normal ady..
for group play often i got the kill rather than DH..
couldn't imagine how to dot will be with Furnace.. yet to be found

I have both furnace and 30% sunkeeper.

You may try fire arcane torrent.
Drop blizzard for arcane torrent. Use AT as your primary attack skill.
Yes, it can kill faster than DH's sentry build.
Very fun to play.

I find AT torrent build can kill faster than blizzard+mammoth combo in normal rift and bounty, especially on single target.
For high grift, you need to use blizzard back.

Last night swapped out Hydra Mammoth for Meteor Molten Impact... Elites die even faster

Too slow for meteor.
With AT, the elite pack, especially the blue ones, would have killed before the meteor hit the ground.
The yellow one would have killed in the next 1.5-2 seconds.

Meteor cost is high too. It drains the arcane fast.

That's my wiz, i am using a cold damage weapon.. does +fire % damage affect that?
*
It doesn't matter what elemental damage weapon you use.
It is the elemental damage of skills that counts.

If you use passive skill/elemental exposure, elemental damage of weapon is taken into account though.

I do have another fire attach weapon, it has +19% fire damage plus fire attribute damage.
My current cold attribute has 2400dps (400 more than the fire) and has a socket.. not sure if i should use the other weapon since I am playing a fire wiz

Use your existing one with socket.

Any idea what to reroll for my furnace and other items?
*
It depends on build.

If you use AT, CDR to IAS.
If you use Blizzard, CDR to 10% elite damage bonus.

P/S Forgot to mention, if you use AT, you need to make sure you have good arcane management.
This is because IAS will drain your arcane fast.
Fire build with firebird set + Cindercoat + 4apoc will allow you infinite arcane to spam AT.

congrats wizard..

New Wiz Set

2-Piece causes Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Magic Missile, and Shock Pulse to reduce the cooldown on Slow Time by 1 sec.

4-Piece causes Slow Time to inflict 1250% damage every second to enemies.

6-Piece Arcane Orb, Energy Twister, Magic Missile, and Shock Pulse deal 500% more damage to enemies affected by Slow Time.

New item – Crown of the Primus causes Slow Time to gain the effects of all runes.

Magic Missiles + Arcane Orb + 2xHydra combo with Serpent's Sparker + Mirrorball.
Possible fire build.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wiza...ZbSe!cbYcZZ

An interesting new build.
But I doubt the burst damage is as good as current AT/Blizzard firebird combo.

The Meteor seems a bit weak to me, I dropped my Tal Rasha set for magefist plus full FB set, in that way it seems that I am actually killing faster

Yes, stack more fire% damage with magefist/cindercoat/Firebird's eye can deliver more damage.

Meteor gives you something fancy though.

if in term of fast farming tal rasha + firebird + wand of WOH is very fast...
i solo t6 normal rift only ttake me 5-6 min...

my profile and build here
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Andrew-1632/hero/45123825

black hole > tele in > frostt nova > spectre blade some > bomb! elite pack die in 3 second

i need ttal rasha amulet so i can use cindercoat...till now i havent found 1 tal rasha amulet
*
Yes, viable build.
You lose 60% fire damage from your chest, gloves and source.

From black hole > tele in > frost nova > spectre blad > explosive blast, how long does it take in the whole process to kill blue elite pack? And yellow elite pack?

I used to use 3-piece tal-rasha. I dropped it eventually for magefist/cindercoat and firebird's eye.
I killed a lot faster.
I use fire arcane torrent, from hydra > black hole > AT > elites killed.
Whole process take 2-5 seconds @ T6 to kill an elite pack.
Black hole last about 2 seconds. All blue elites killed before they land on ground. Yellow boss will take another 2-3 seconds to kill.

P/S My build.

t6 yellow and blue pack only took me around 3 -5 second to kill..if corretly blackhole...
blackkhole + 3% damge every enemy.so if 3 pack is 15%..
usually t6 normal grift they will be along with other monster so i can get almost 20-30% increase damage...
with tat arcane meteor falling down..it do 70m damage..
and frost nova+ bone chill enemy get 33% damage increase + baneof trap 25% = 58% damage increase...
so the blizard meteor fall do 50m damage... + fire meteor and lighting tat scattered around probay do 10m damage if hit with 1 small meteor..

this build only i use for normal t6 grift and below 32 greater grift..above 32 grift i will bbe using firebird st only with magefust and cindercoat and firebird source...
*
I forgot to mention, the other reason I drop Tal-Rasha set was, some elite packs killed (especially the blue elites) before the meteor hit the ground.

Not really sure what you meant by proc.
You may emulate this build.
http://www.diablofans.com/builds/53633-2-2...rasha-solo-gr50

IMO, it's either you go 3-piece Tal Rasha + firebird or need this boots.

Delrasha seems like a viable option although I would still say a tal set with meteor boots still seems to output the most amount damage on a consistent basis. Firebirds is pretty much dead now unfortunately sad.gif

I'm using a build which most top solo wizards are using while pushing high tier Greater Rifts (>GR55).

The build is as follows:

Items
1. Aether Walker - 10% damage, Int, Vit, Socket
2. Tal (Head) - Int, Vit, CC, Socket (Int, CC, Meteor%, Socket can also be used if you do not have problems staying alive)
3. Tal (Glove) - Int, CC, CHD, RCR (Vit over RCR if using a Int, CC, Meteor%, Socket helm)
4. Tal (Belt) - Int, Vit, Life%, Armor>AR
5. Tal (Pants) - Int, Vit, Armor, Sockets
6. Tal (Offhand) - Damage Range, Int, Vit, CC, Arcane Power on Crit, Meteor%
7. Tal (Amulet) - Int, CC, CHD, Socket
8. Cindercoat - Fire%, Int, Vit, Sockets (High Fire RCR is a big plus)
9. Ancient Parthan of Defenders - Fire%, Int, Vit, CC
10. Focus & Restraint (Rings) - Int, CC, CHD, Socket
11. Nilfur's Boast - Int, Vit, AR (perma rolled, Armor obviously better here), Meteor% (Note: Prioritisation should be on the secondary passive which gives 150-200% increase damage when meteor strikes 3 or less enemies. A normal nilfur's with 190% is always better than an ancient 180% for example)
12. Pauldron's of Skeleton King - Int, Vit, Armor, RCR

** RCR = Resource Cost Reduction

Skills
1. Shock Pulse - Piercing Orb
2. Blizzard - Snowbound
3. Force Weapon - Conduit
4. Meteor - Meteor Shower
5. Teleport - Calamity
6. Storm Armor - Power of the Storm

Passives
1. Audacity
2. Unstable Anomaly 
3. Astral Presence/Blur
4. Elemental Exposure

Gameplay
The beauty of this build is that you can pick and choose your fights. At higher GR's (>GR51) you would very rarely (in most cases never) engage an elite pack unless you are armed with a pylon. You would need to teleport through the map while grouping and killing off white mobs. Keep mobs stunned with your Teleport Calamity, while alternating your skills and casting meteors. (Always keep an eye out for your Focus/Restraint bonus, and Tal stacks, and make sure they are always up). I would say only fight when you have >10 mobs around you to ensure you are protected by your Parthan bracers. Keeping up your resource (i.e. Arcane Power) will always be an issue which is why Resource Cost Reduction on your items are important to the build. Remember to alternate between your spells and primary attack (i.e. Piercing orb) to keep your Arcane Power and Focus/Restraint bonus up.

Good luck and happy hunting smile.gif

Thanks for sharing.
So, IAS and CDR are not needed?
Aether walker may be rare to come by. Any alternative?
What is the ideal RCR?

Nope, IAS and CDR not required for this build. You can only really afford to have RCR on two pieces max (shoulder and glove). I would suggest at least shoulder to have it. Whether you need RCR on your glove pretty much depends on your play style and how well you manage your resources. If you have trouble maintaining your AP, it would be better if you had RCR on gloves, if not, go for vit.

Without an Aether Walker, you are basically in an area where you have to improvise with whatever gear u have. Before i obtained an AW, i have used variations of common builds. For example, I used a modified melee freeze build utilising Halo of Arlyse (I've tried with a two-hander (e.g. Grand Vizier) or a one-hander (e.g. sun keeper/devastator + tal offhand) with good effect. Think I managed GR52 with that. You may find the build here (http://www.diablofans.com/builds/53721-grift-55-solo-melee-tal-rasha-perma-lockdown), although i used meteor shower instead of mammoth hydra coz i didn't have a Serpent Sparker at that time.

You could also try out the pure delsere build
http://www.diablofans.com/builds/53661-2-2...rb-fire-or-cold

Ultimately you may still use firebirds to farm t6 till you get the necessary gear. By no means is firebirds useless, I just meant that for pushing greater rifts, firebirds has been pushed down the pecking order as compared to tals/delsere. T6 farming with firebirds is still pretty efficient.

Is IAS needed?
