As of right now I can without a doubt say im pretty unlucky with getting legendary's, and don't really understand how a wiz should be gearing (was mostly a barb before 2.0)
Unbuffed I am laying at these number and while I can faceroll torment 1 and do torment 2 I feel like I could be better http://i.imgur.com/5RTMLF8.jpg
I also have these 3 items I am trying to get proper rolls on but they are very expensive mats wise and starting to get expensive gold wise as well due to failed attemps. (blue mats I have shit ton of) http://i.imgur.com/foOmxEP.jpg - cost 50 yellow mats 1 forgotten soul and 1 death breath per try http://i.imgur.com/OHhkLt4.jpg - cost 11 yellow mats 1 forgotten soul and 1 flawless imperial topaz http://i.imgur.com/52Bdicq.jpg - this one is cheap mats wise but I am up to 1,5m gold per try so don't know if i should hope for better drop or continue wasting gold.
I also fail to see how to make gold now in the game. Started out with 190m and almost halvway to empty.
Can some good wiz help me along here.
My build is the standard glass cannon disintegrate archorn wiz
Magic Missile - Seeker
Disintegrate - Intesify
Magic Weapon - Force Weapon
Familiar - Cannoneer
Archon - Improced Archon
Energy Armor - Prismatic Armor
Im just a little ahead of you on damage and right now im farming hodric cashce on normal and speed running normal rifts for blood shards - so far its gave a decent amount of souls/legendarys - far as making gold, right now im not sure either - down to 5mil after making 220int gems and a single 130% crit dmg gem.
Im hoping gold useage goes down a lot after we got max gems and stop replacing gear ss fast.
Now that my wiz is pretty dang geared, my gold is rising at a steady pace, as well as doing T5 which boosts it a bit.
Not re-rolling and crafting gear saves you a LOT of money, because once you have plenty of mats, you can just sell your yellows/blues to a vendor which helps to add some income.
Bracers and helms must have crit chance. Gloves must have damage affixes (cc/chd/ias/avgdmg). Rings and amulets must have damage affixes too. Other than that, build up on rares with high int + vit+any other toughness stat. That should be the first tier of gear you need to get.
The second tier is the same stats but legendary items with the addition of +% elemental damage.
The third tier is the end game sets like Vyr's, along with good legendaries fromyour tier 2 phase.
That's a rough estimation of gear progression in the game. Don't take anything for granted.

Yearh. makes sense tbh.
Looking back towards when stopped playing half a year before 2.0 I properly should not have sold my gold for euro's. who knew we would use so much of it.
Thanks for the responsses and I am good to go. still no legs though or upgrades even though i used another 2k blood shards.
Have a feeling lady luck does not like me
I farmed up 600m gold before the AH went down, people were being really silly buying patterns for 20m, sold it all and saved 50m for RoS.... should have saved 200m, hindsight is 20/20...

As far as reforging your gear, if you're only short on items, just keep picking up rares to salvage. I went into RoS with 30m gold and between that and what I've earned since the release, I've managed to get 5 Royal Topaz in my gear and 1 Flawless Royal Emerald in my weapon and have rerolled plenty of my gear. Currently hovering around 20m gold, sometimes more, sometimes less. My gear is a good bit better and I can farm t2 rifts really fast, but I don't see why you should have any shortage of materials or gold, especially since you have 5x my current gold in your bags.
I feel like getting your gems crafted up is a huge step, but be careful with them and only put anything higher than Imperial Topaz in a piece of armor that you likely won't replace for a while. It could get pricey if you're pulling gems in and out of minor upgrades. I do find myself less worried about finding minor upgrades anymore. Gear wise, I pick up most of the yellows and blues that are near me, I never back track for them. I try to be as time efficient as possible.
Going back to what you should be farming in your gear, I speed run t2 rifts (5-7min runs generally) solo and have 1.3m dps buffed in game with 110% cold/arcane orb damage on my gear. Toughness wise, I have 1325 All Res with 1605 Phys Res and 1878 Lightning Res. I currently have ~7000 armor and only run 250,000 HP. Elites never really take me more than a full Arcane Power bubble to kill and whites are completely a non factor. I feel like I could easily do up to t4 in my gear, but would have a noticeably slower clear time.
As far as what you farm and how you gear, just play whatever is comfortable and enjoyable for you. Most of the time, most people could probably do a higher torment than what they farm, it's just usually not time efficient, so they farm something that seems somewhat easy. But like I said, make sure you're enjoying the game, that's that it's all about ^_^.
What helped med progress was to get some items with +% elemental dmg.
As of now i have ~50% + Lightning damage and 10% dmg to meteor, they hit like bombs, and i use Black hole for CC/survival.
Elemental damage is only good if it adds more damage than what you have.
lets take my amulet I found an legendary that gave 18% arcane dmg but i lost 18.2% damge compared to what i had. that would reduce my dmg with 0,2% and not be worth it.
More or less i have yet to find a proper item with good elemental dmg.

Don't go for flawless royals. Stay on royals. The cost is too high if you don't have a bank of gold in my opinion.
I'd go for AT instead of disintegrate since it's better imo but that's personal preference i guess.
Also, i always go with archon - teleport rune. Archon without teleport will just get you killed when facing those nasty elites on t2.
I would drop glass cannon for temporal flux.
I would also drop unstable anamoly for blur.
Good luck.
Crit DMG > Crit > Int > AR > Vit > life%
For the other things thanks ill look into it.
