I'm currently running a cm wizard build and can do vault of the assasins runs semi efficiently on mp6-7 but am getting jack all in exp and items. Only ~5mil exp in a 8mins run.
This is my current build ht tp://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/ko0l-6736/hero/15916796
Currently I think I can replace my belt or bracers for more resists for ~50mil gold but I just don't see the point. Getting more resists might help me tank mp9+ but I would just kill things too slowly to make it worthwhile.
Would it be better to use the gold to buy an archon set?
What items do you think I should replace to switch to archon and what mp would the gear allow me to farm at?
That sounds like about the same xp per hour I get running KD2 so I wouldn't worry too much about that, though you could try MP5 and see if that's any better.
Your gear looks pretty well balanced and seems like most upgrades are going to cost a ton of gold. I do think you can gain a lot from your shoulders though, but I'd recommend crafting some, aiming for something like 250 int+70AR+vit and maybe with some str and/or armor, but even without it'll be an upgrade over yours. You might lose a little armor but the extra int makes up for some of that and the vit will give a net gain of EHP. Just don't lower your resists and armor too much while raising your EHP or you'll lose that balance.
If you do want to swap to Archon, I'm not sure it will be all that much better in terms of XP per hour, but for starters try a couple runs with your current gear on MP0 and see. If it is better and you want to gear towards that, I'd recommend a black weapon with OS+LS and a triumvirate. For 10 mil you can get a 1000-1100 dps wand and for another 10 mil you can get a decent triumvirate that will likely raise your dps quite a bit. Then you can invest in a pair of Zuni boots+zuni ring instead of Nat's, and a tal's amulet. That shouldn't even cost 60 mil total, unless you spend extra on higher stats. In the end it should give you a nice dps boost and put you around 200k buffed, maybe a little higher. You can also look for a pair of Inna's pants if you want but they might be more expensive than they're worth for you.
If you're looking to level 5mil per 8min run is 37.5mil/hour which is horrid. You're better off running archon with the gear you have on a low mp act 3 runs.

I'm not disagreeing that 37.5 mil per hour is horrid, but sadly that's about what I get when I run just about anything. Then again, I pick up too many things, backtrack too much, and spend too much time killing demon tremors (they all must DIE!). I think I raised it to around 45 mil per hour running MP6 KD2 as Archon, but even that doesn't sound all that great. I'll have to see what my xp rate is now that I've jumped to MP9 KD2 as SNS (the legendaries were dropping really well last night, so it's not all about xp per hour for that).

Yeah using achon I get ~50mil exp per hr on mp1 a3 runs. I got a cheap skorn for 500k g which boosted my base dps by 20k. Just looking for a good 1h weap with ls and a source now to allow me to farm at a higher mp. But right now I can't seem find anything which gives dps higher than my skorn.
Yeah per cost, skorn does give good dps. Trims are cheap though, just see if you can snatch a good black weapon in your price range. Not sure if you use a damage calc but it a good thing to do when looking for items.
I know a lot of people still do alkizer act 3 runs but its not the most efficient. There's a video out before the patch if a guy doing crater 2- depths 2 - rakkis crossing, and thats it and its more efficient. This is what I use to do before the latest patch and it was indeed more efficient.
I prefer skipping Crater 2 because the loot isn't as good (I think it's something to do with scorpions not dropping extra items or something), so I mainly prefer Keeps 2, fields/bridge, and Stonefort isn't too bad, but might have the same loot issue as the scorpions because I think the little guys the shaman rez are similar in loot drops and such.

For more DPS :
Your ring, buy a better one, with 5 CC or higher, some CD and average damage. you'll gain at least 8k dps.
And a much better natalya reflection, with 9Ias, and some CD, you'll gain ~5k dps
DPS ftw x)
