Build Guide
Hey boyz! Season One & Two - Rank 1 monk (world) here!
In my opinion/experience this build is currently one of the strongest possible wizard setups for solo competitive greater rift laddering.
Please note: I always keep my diablo fans guides up to date and will be making adjustments to the guide whenever there is a shift in endgame meta! so be sure to check back, and vote on the guide!
Basic game-play strategy:
- Build Chantodo's stacks and reduce Archon cooldown with Arcane torrent
- Use Archon (only if @ 20 Chantodo's stacks)
- Use Slow Time (just once every time you enter [Archon Form])
- Spam Arcane Blast [Archon Form]
- Hold down Arcane Strike [Archon Form]
- Pull enemies misc with Disintegration [Archon Form]
- Maintain Ice Armour buff
- Maintain Magic Weapon buff
Skill variations:
- Blizzard - Snowbound (Use instead of magic weapon, for Animation canceling technique shown in video guide).
Hellfire Passive:
- Illusionist

Hi guys!
Did anyone try Wreath of Lightning lgem? IMO it's kind rewarding:
1) scaling lightning damage - check
2) helps fighting RGs - check
3) movemont speed bonus - check
Why is no one using it?
This is a cool find. Can't wait to try it, I just need to find good RoRG and Crown of primus.
What is CoTP btw? (I just recently started to play)
Hmmm kinda a stupid newbie question guys, but yeah decided to try the Vyr wizard out at the end of the season, leveled it, farmed the gear, leveled the gems, etc and after i got mine last piece of set ( took about 5-6 hours to get all the gear ) to my big suprise noticed when i turned on the Archon all of my damage is cold damage..got the Pure power runed, checked it 100x times...and it still says cold damage?!?
What the hell I am missing guys ?
Obviously, your highest elemental damage is cold skill damage; that is what your Archon will use. Check your gear and stats again.
he'll update when it's out
still viable for 2.4 ?
