So just to add to this thread, I believe it would be possible to use 3 piece Tal's set with the RoRG and gain a big bonus to your damage output from the meteors. At the very least right now you'd gain Cold and Lightning Meteors and if you switched out the cold blooded passive for elemental exposure and changed explosive blast to a fire rune then you'd have 3 different types of meteors being freely cast. It is a very cool idea though and I think it's very cool that you came up with it.
For Tal's you could use the belt, source and ammy.
You have Unity equipped right? Last time I played a Wand of Woh spec I felt really squishy without Unity, even with semi perma frost nova, but that should be only a concern for people playing mostly in party. It looks fun but its still a little sad that every frebird spec does the quadruple damage of it
No Unity. Using Moratorium to mitigate damage.
As for people telling me to use X or Y or Z... no, just no. The point of this spec is to get as close as possible to the vanilla CMWW wizard build. No Black Holes. No Hydras. No Mirror Images. Only good ol' ETs and EBs and constant CD cycling. If you weren't around for vanilla, you're not going to get this.
^ Sigh. And you jumped to the conclusion that I stuck you in the "AS FOR people telling me" part. Even if you did, I don't think you encompass numerous individuals. If I wanted to call you out, I'll call you out, don't you worry about that. "As for" - in regards to, in response to, etc. Context. Context.
I only addressed your statement about Unity. See all the comments regarding Storm Armor, Frost Hydra, Black Hole, Tal Meteors, etc. Did you say anything about that? I don't think so, therefore whatever I mentioned in the second paragraph has nothing to do with you.
I could just try to quote a bunch of different posts or make numerous posts after this one, but no, I opted not to. Damn, woke up too early today. Incredibly irritable.
This makes me sad and happy at the same time. I spent 25 dollars on a yellow wand (only time i spent money in the AH) to make a CM wiz work back in the day. What a rush it was to finally have inferno on farm.
Thanks for the memories. Also, subbed your channel, thanks for the great content and all you do for the wiz community.
Since we are nitpicking about 'traditional CM build'.
Diamond skin.
Where is it?
I tried it. There's a reason I didn't mention the SNS variant. No Shards. It works, but Conduit is critical for ET uptime. Diamond Skin's CD is just too long and the effect doesn't last nearly long enough. Can drop Teleport I guess, but then it loses the build's frantic cast, cast, move, cast, move nature.
The CM wizard is reborn! Without the CM.
This is just for fun. It's nowhere near as powerful as the top builds, e.g. Firebird and its variants, but it's definitely viable for T6 farming.
If anything, it's a lot of fun and gives players a little something to quell the nostalgia.
