working on my wizard lately, suffering from lots of sidegrades lately... what should i do with my wizard now? my EHP seems so low, yet i cant bother to sacrifice the 3.01 attack speed setup i currently run.... is it worth dumping it and going down to 2.73 to bump ehp way way up? am i wasting time with this spec/gear and should i do something different?
Currently just farming when i can on mp5... its not super fast, but it's generally easy and farming lots of keys is the goals for now, with Ubers mp8 later, which i've done, but die a lot. HALP!
i believe, with that build it is recommended to have life steal. i could be wrong so dont quote me, but if so then that might be a good start on what to upgrade next.
oh and i might have read it wrong but looks like you only have 36% crit? think it is also recommended for that build to have 40+
from gear wise id almost think a archon or orb build might be better suited.
but i have stopped playing my wizard and gone full time barb so im a bit rusty on my wizard info...
I'd drop to the 2.73 breakpoint. There is very little to gain from using the 3.01 breakpoint, which mostly just gives you more LoH returns. Any dps gain is arguable because of latency and the phantom button pressing behavior. At 2.73 you can still lock down 2 of the 3 uber encounters with Cold Snap, so I guess one other benefit of 3.01 is you can use the 15% DPS rune on FN for some extra group dps, but I still don't think it's worth taking large hit to EHP to do so.
In short you can gain more dps by dropping to 2.73, gaining EHP, and switching from energy armor to Shocking Aspect, which will increase your effective dps by around 30-40%.
Also, Life Steal is not recommended for the build, LoH is, at least until you start reaching 200k dps or more.
Inna´s pants are just meh in your current stat of gear. Basicly you trade alot of ehp for those 9% ias and 1% cc...Looking at your profile the all res is pretty low. Its like 450 all res incl. your int which isnt that great for higher mp. Im with loroese. Lower your aps to 2,73 and get way more ehp. So things i would change
- Get new pants
I would go for no sockets but all res roll blackthorns. Those arent too expensive. Since you got loh on ring and amu you might consider some good rare pants as well.
- Get a new helm
Not sure why you are using a stormcrow since you got apoc on chanto main- and offhand. Might just go for a kinda cheap rare helm with int, vit, %life, all res, cc and open socket. Since many ppl just buying legendaries you can find some pretty good deals on rare helms.
as for pants and helm, working out to try and gear for more ehp ever since i snagged a few pieces that allowed me to dump the pants... but with a low as shat budget i can't quite afford to go back to something different. To get a decent pair of blackthornes is my goal, sadly i can't find one worth a damn for 10 million gold anywhere atm lol gotta sell a LOT of the mid level gear i bought when gearing my wizard up first
The stormcrow gets swapped out with a mempo on and off depending on if i need the life on hit or not, its there just for uber's fights tbh
Gearing up for ehp is kinda tough as i've pretty much maxed out all my stuff right now with the budget i had, and cant really afford any "TRUE" upgrades until i get more gold thru lucky sales... the mempo boosts my stuff dramatically which is good, on all accounts tho i really just need to sell the crap i bought and replaced again so i can afford to boost my pants up to a higher ehp set
** got me some cheap rare pants to boost my ehp, till i can afford the good blackthornes i'm wanting definitely noticable difference, sad to see that i no longer have 3.10 attack speed tho... ITS SO FUN! >.< lol
