Well i have seen many builds on here for the classes and i like to play around with them but nothing seemed to mesh with the Wizard, i wasnt getting the right gear for the other builds or i just did not enjoy the play style so i figured i would have fun and try something different.
The entire build focuses on Meteor - Meteor Shower rune, and raining a barrage of them down on the heads of pretty much the entire screen.
With this build you are focusing on high levels of resource reduction, APoC, Crit Chance and Arcane power.
The more of these the more meteors you can churn out.
Now for the skills;
Magic Missile - Conflagrate rune - Fire being the main dmg type of the build this hits pretty solid and gives you a nice fluff hit in between the barrages of meteors.
The above mentioned Meteor shower, this will be the bread and butter of the build. You cast it like crazy on the groups and watch things fall dead, pretty simple.
Magic Weapon or Familiar are nice options for this build, i personally use Magic Weapon with Force rune for the 20% dmg boost but this one is more personal choice.
Energy Armor - Prismatic Armor, gives that extra toughness you can use to keep churning out more meteors, but if you have plenty from gear you can change it up to which best suits your needs.
Black Hole - Spellsteal or supermassive.. you are using this purely for grouping and the dmg boost from passive Elemental Exposure
Archon - Combustion this is the heavy hitter for when you need / want to burn down a pack or boss fast.
Now as for the passives;
Astral Pressence, the extra Arcane power and increased regen are must haves for the build, more arcane = more meteors.
Glass Cannon, the damage boost...that is all it is.
Conflagration - the extra crit chance will be helpful with the APoC
Elemental exposure - between the black hole and the meteor impacts, they will give you another 10% extra dmg on the targets so the meteor's keep hitting harder.
Now for the gearing of this it should be rather obvious...fire damage.
Cindercoat, Magefist, Andariels, SoJ...get the whole lot of them with max fire dmg.
Now the upcoming patch shows the Firebird set having some promise to this build but have not got the set so cannot say one way or the other in regards to it.
For weapon you will want a 1h like Devastator or Burning Axe of Sankis for the fire dmg, and the Firebird source for the additional fire damage as well.
I found this to be just a fun build, i play around on it with only 1.4 mil fire dmg right now and just enjoy covering the map in meteors as everything dies, and figured i would share it with you all.
The thing is that with between archon and Magic Missle (assuming mirrorball) you've kinda covered all bases, making the meteor shower redundant.
I do wonder how effective a meteor shower build with cindercoat and pride's fall can be. 50% cost reduction from just those 2 items should let you spam meteors without downtime.
Yeah i got the Cindercoat and decided to play around on the wizard, if i can get more CD reduction i am thinking to change to molten impact possible, and no mirrorball just some random stuff i picked up... i just enjoy the meteor swarm...covers a much larger base than magic missile and i can just run around gathering a large group then blanket cover the entire screen with meteors and watch them all die
