Inspired from the genius himself - Marwan

This wizard build is used in a 3 Lightning Wiz / 1 Zmonk composition. Check out the zmonk build here

This group composition maximizes experience gained per hour and can do 85+ GR's in around 3 minutes!

Build is well known to most, so it's pretty straight forward.

Season 11 Journey reward is Tal-Rasha's set, so all you need to find is 3 piece Vyr's - **boots and shoulders are required** but you can swap Vyr's helmet, gloves or pants for Tal's helmet, gloves or pants.

Use whatever weapon is better and cube the other between In-geom and Starfire.

Between CoE and Obsidian, it helps if one person of the 3 Lightning Wizards runs Obsidian to get back into Archon faster and help finish off that early elite pack so in-geom procs for the group.

Stricken is not really needed for RG, since a Lightning Wizards damage output is already so high and you aren't pushing 100+ doing Marwan's Speeds, so Goguk helps with attack speed and cooldown and is a much better choice.

CDR is not needed on the Tal's amulet, since In-geom will proc and will almost be up 100% of the time.

Max movement speed to 25% in accordance with your boots (if you have MS on them).

Offense - Pretty straight forward

Defense - Should have life % and vitality on most of your gear, so stack armor first, then life, then all resistance afterwards, since you get all resistances from intelligence.

Utility - Life on hit first, since you do over 9000 attacks per second... AD doesn't really matter and RCR is good for using more Arcane Torrents while outside of Archon.
