The belts are interchangable, Cube your best belt, remember that we're using Grenades to do most of our damage, so the higher bounce Hellcat or higher damage Wrath goes on, and cube for the other effect.

5pc Unhallowed Essence and Depth Diggers are required to make this build work. CDR on all pieces you can get it on, and the 10% from Paragon and Dawn gives us 100% uptime on Vengeance for 50% damage reduction and 40% damage.

No need for Thrill in this build, works for solo, and groups (just as good as a Mandald Wizard, if not better).

Movement Speed to 25%, then Primary Stat. If you feel a bit squishy, (you shouldn't) you can add some Vitality to increase your health pool and shield from Fortress.

Cooldown Reduction for 100% uptime on Vengeance. Attack Speed and Critical Hit Damage for more Damage, Critical Hit Chance is lowest as we already have 90% Critical Hit Chance without it (in group).

Resist All, Life and Armor will increase your overall survivability, Regen does almost nothing

The entirety of the final tree is mostly non-consequential, as Area Damage may still provoke servers, and RCR since we're using a Gen to do damage, but fill in the tree with Area Damage last, if you aren't experiencing lag, start filling the Area Damage section.

Build Guide

Hey guys, I had this crazy idea to add some skills to a build I was already tinkering with, and the results are AMAZING! =)

First, this build is incredibly simple to play. For the most part, it's just about throwing Grenades and using Multishot every 3 seconds.

Second, this build brings almost as much support to the group play scene as a support does, without sacrificing a whole lot of damage. With buffs and debuffs, this build brings 15% Area Damage (100% chance), 25% Damage Reduction to your group, 8% Critical Hit Chance, and 15% additional damage. Which is actually crazy, because it doesn't have to sacrifice trillions of damage to do it!

Let's get into the play style a bit. Similar to the non-Calamity build, this build mainly focuses on throwing Grenades as much as possible, and using Multishot to keep your enemies Chilled in order to proc Bane of the Trapped, as well as debuff 25% damage and buff 8% CHC. Although a lot of your time can be spent in melee (and thus proccing BotT by aura) it still works from ranged, without a single stun, so the Wizard is still free to proc the Mandald Heal, on some of the more dangerous affixes. Also, this build turns your entire group into AoE chewing monsters, although, Area Damage may still crash servers, I haven't had any issues, but certainly used to. Now the Gen Monk is dealing damage with every punch to everything in a 20 yrd radius, and if they're Mangle, an extended 20yrd radius. Also turn the FB WD into a monster for clearing out white mobs and Elites.

Overall, my belief is that this build provides enough damage and reduction to make it a force in both solo and group play. Try it out, let me know how it feels and give a like if this pushed you to a whole new area of the game.
