So I need some gearing advice for my Wizard.
I guess I need to swap out everything evantually but where should I start?
And should I spend all my money on one good item or spend it on a few decent items?
I know that I need more Allres and more crit, but I don't want to gimp my IAS for that.
My Allres - 400 with glasscannon
Budget - 35M to spend on upgrades.
amulet. helm. they're just bad. i don't like the helm either. those crits, they aren't used to replenish arcane power?

Your bracers definitely need upgrading. I think I could find better ones for under a mil, though I'm on US servers. You could try for some Lacuni Prowlers to cap your run speed, which whould let you replace your pants. I got my pair with MF for just a couple mil so unless you try for a pair with crit% they're pretty cheap. They also have IAS which you said you want to keep.
As for whether to spend your gold on just 1-2 upgrades vs several, use a spreadsheet to look up a few cheap items to see how much of an upgrade you can get for decent prices and compare to larger upgrades, like either OH or MH or maybe some set pieces (I'm really liking the Zunimassa's boots and plan to get a ring when I can afford it for the set bonus). The Zun set bonus of 130 int is probably worth around 4k dps for you and the boots would definitely give you a dps boost.
Alternatively, a good 2h with high life steal will make it much easier to face tank while in Archon Form. I have less resists than you and I can actually face tank some elite groups in Act 3 in a doorway with my current gear. WIth more resists it becomes even easier.
Also, I'm not sure why you like IAS so much since it's actually not as good for you with that spec compared to crit and crit damage. You have no AP on Crit, which is fine because it doesn't work all that well for Arcane Orb anyway, so outside of Archon form, IAS just burns through your AP faster. I know for Archon form IAS is pretty good but if you can get the same dps from using Crit Damage, you'll get more use out of it from your main AP spender. If you spend any appreciable time outside of Archon form, which I know I do with more dps and more run speed, I'd aim for more crit and crit damage.
Also, if you're trying to farm Act 3 you're probably better off using Force Armor over Prismatic Armor until you get a bit more EHP. If you're still farming Acts 1 or 2, Prismatic is probably better/
Thanks for the replays.. I haven't played so much since the IAS nerf so thats why I still have so much IAS.
And I had Lacuni (Legacy) before for the movement speed and IAS but now I'm trying to replace most of my IAS gear with Crit and Critdmg, as you saidstacking IAS is not as good anymore.
I'm farming Act 3 like crazy so I guess I'll switch to FA again then.
But I haven't really stucked with one spec either, I just swtiching around builds and trying different things atm.
So I guess I should fire up a spreadsheet and take a closer look and see which items gives the best upgrade etc..
Thanks anyway.
