So, been messing around on the PTR for a bit and came up with a pretty awesome full Arcane build. I was absolutely loving it, using my old CM gear I had from live, and it worked out really well.
The fast attack speed (the old 2.74 breakpoint) allowed me to hit pretty quickly with Spectral Blades, and between the 18 APoC I still have from the old gear plus the 5 AP on hit from Syphoning Blade, I was able to have a nearly limitless supply of Arcane Power, thereby essentially having infinite meteors. It was an awesome build! Until...
So, farming on the PTR, and I find an Azurewrath. The thing makes me want to re-do my ENTIRE build. So I decided to try a Frost Wizard, and man is it a lot of fun! It really speaks volumes when finding one item makes you want to respec the entire build around it. Anyway, the way it works is fairly straightforward, I'm constantly freezing/slowing everything, with a pretty infinite meteor supply on this one as well. GG itemization.
Enjoy guys! Anything you would recommend for me? Hopefully I find some Magefist gloves soon, and I'll give a Fire Wizard a go...
I have a different build. Is an orb build. Im no math wiz or anything but least in master its highly functional. My skills go a,s,d,f with left and right buttons also. for button A its Energy armor-Pinpoint barrier. S is Familiar/Sparkflint. D is Magic Missle/Glacial spike. F is Diamond skin/Crystal shell. Left click is Arcane orb/Frozen orb. Right click is Teleport/Wormhole. Passives atm is Dominance/Evocation/Cold blooded. with Gloves adding to cold dmg and such its a smooth killing build atm. Something to try out and refine as RoS is released.
I am planning to make an infinite meteor build with meteor shower. In order to get this working I pumped points into max. arcane power as well as CC. Trying to work out what signature skills and third abilities I should use. So far I have found blizzard+meteor shower working well. There is a diamond skin that reduces arcane costs by 7 as well.
The attributes on items needed are APoC, Reduce meteor cost, and CC.
For defense I was considering using time warp because it lasts until you can cast another one. I wish teleport was more plausible. =(
One thing I would do (unless you're playing HC) is drop Unstable Anomaly forever. You can get so much more out of that passive slot! If you really need defense there, you'll get more mileage out of the new-and-improved Blur.

Most internet arguments begin as butthurt. Butthurt is typically caused by:
a) A misunderstanding, due to poor use of English by uneducated folks or non-native speakers
A misunderstanding, due to poor reading comprehension
c) An individual that cultivates and feeds on the butthurt of othersDon't be butthurt.

(And yes, I know certain legendaries might change this. I mean baseline.)
