I've recently come back to D3 for S4 and I honestly have no idea what I am doing with wizard. I have been with people in rifts who are similar paragon on DH who are one-shotting mobs in a T4 normal rift but I cant seem to match up. So, I am not sure what I am doing wrong in terms of gearing, stat priorities or what.
I have looked through the guides and they all seem to focus on having specific item sets (Vyr's, etc) which RNG has not been kind to me. I am capped out around Grift 20 solo and grift 25 with 4 (all pug and mostly solo). Any thoughts/suggestions would be helpful, thanks!
First, you've summed up your opening statement with your closing statement. ALOT of builds rely heavily on Class sets in order to progress through the Torments and Grift levels.
The best advice that I can give with regards to gearing, is get yourself a Fulminator/Shaefer's Hammer and cube it with an AoE lightning build of any kind. Most builds, (Barb, Monk, DH, WD) rely on a strong defensive build with 1 or 2 insanely boosted attacks. Wizard, doesn't have a whole lot of defensive options that don't completely suck, without the proper support, unless the RNG gods love you.
With all of that in mind, I'd suggest getting your hands on a decent weapon with a valuable orange text and cube it, build your build around it until you get pieces you want for other builds. Also, you can opt for a more offensive build if you intend on doing a lot of group play, to make up for your lack of defensive maneuvers.
