Showing off the weakness of EB builds, and how Archon brings it in. Slow Time and 1s Teleport is really valuable.All three levels was ranged and A4/5 mobs. Wasp, Succubus, Molten incinerators(hate these the most), Anarchs, Corrupt Angels, Demon Terror (debuff hurts) you name it, it was there.

Enjoy. Pros: Good sustain, good mobility, great burst, great utility. Cons: Decent single target at best, squishy unless geared, need to pay more attention. In-game stats: http://imgur.com/Sw6DkQQ I change my paragon around A LOT. But just to give an general idea. I put all points into VIT, that's until I can craft a better helm.Row two. CDR-CHD-CC. In that order.Row three. You really have to find the right balance with your gear. Max Armor, 40 in AR, rest in Life regen.Row four. Max Loh, Area damage, Resource reduction.
Hey there nice video. However, your post lacks some important character details. CDR, sheet dps, toughness, mitigation total. Just have a look at Jaetch's thread and how he puts up these numbers as easy reference. People having to go through all items and a calculator to find your CDR isnt best idea. Also how do you heal up? LoH and LPS from paragon plus health globes?
That 3rd level of rift... Its our WoH users worst nightmare. Bees + succubus = Hell. The slow time bubble on the archon helps a lot with those I noticed, maybe the Vyr 4p is necessary
I posted this as an enjoyment video, more so that people can see Wizard can do some good damage too. But since you asked I will update it with those information.
Yea Archons' slow time really helps, since it's a toggle and follows you around. Any afflix or attacks that have travel time animation basically just become nullified.
He isnt overgeared and that makes his build awsome. Many players post their builds after 1-2k+ hours of gameplay with all the items ingame , perfect rolls .... I realy like this build and i will try it! As soon as I have WoW ........
Maybe i will replace conflagration with Unwavering Will or illusionist calamity but I wil ltry it for sure
Accept the WoW, the rarest weapon in the game.
And 3 set vyrs :P. Yea, it's a nice video, and when/if I ever get a WoW+vyrs I might try it out, but as is, this is basicly "the best" gear for wizard in general. Sure, neck etc could be improved, but full vyrs+CDR items and WoW are "the dream" for wizards. The only difference between this and a normal vyrs is that you can use fire dmg and WoW outside of archon now after the patch.
something i would change in your gear wise is going aughlid shoulders + bracers and getting andariels visage instead that way you will get more fire dmg since your bracers only works with blackhole and archon while using left click

The video was very enjoyable so thanks for that. My post was never meant to say you did a bad job posting the video, I just tried to say how you could make a better post. Personally, I consider these kind of videos/posts a way to induce discussion among the community, to come up with new ideas and get better players as a whole. Hence my post.
A question for you: You arent using any of the CDR sets (Borns, Captain Crimsons), do you feel you are a bit too low on CDR? Would you think it would improve your game if you got more CDR?
Ah thanks, I wasn't trying to imply anything bad. I appreciatetip. =P I am hover around 47% CDR, I feel that 47%-54% is the sweet spot for a hybrid Archon/EB build. You don't want to give up to much damaging stats to go full CDR. I would like to get a magefist that has CDR instead of IAS, that should bring me around 53-54% CDR.

I thought about this, but I can't give up the socket in helm. If I find a Andy that comes with CC already then, I can reroll the Attack Speed to socket then I can completely seeing it being viable, potential more damage. But Strongarm is really good, since you can spam it with good CDR.
Upated with one more video. Got a really bad rift, full of mazing and ghosts in second level. I wanted to share it, because you can see even with bad RNG on rift, it is a good solid 12min. clear. I switched to Event Horizan and Teleport instead of Molten to show off a little variation.
I've been looking up wizards with similar builds and everyone is hovering around 850k-1m sheet dps but didn't think it was a huge deal until I saw your video. Your EB's are critting for a shit ton more probably around 2-3mil more and I'm assuming it's from the % CHD and fire damage? Could you check out my profile and maybe give me a few tips?
I do have magefist and firebirds offhand but I dont want to lose the CDR too much. Also have a vyrs chest, so maybe I should switch around my gear and get more CHD.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
P.S Nice video!
EDIT: I think it's the witching hour and a few levels into the paragon. After watching the second video you posted, the numbers look about the same.

Just to say you have real nice gear. I wish I had that helm, but after crafting over 50, yes 50, I can't seem to get the correct rolls.
To answer your question, I was not wearing WH in any of my videos, I can't afford to lose the toughness on T6 solo.After quick glance at your gear, it's mostly two items. Your weapon and source. Your weapon has attack speed on it, but mine have damage % which results in way higher base damage, even if average damage is around the same. I was lucky to find a Firebird with CDR, that extra fire% really helps too. Just play around with your gear more, I also tried to incorporate Tals, however my Tal ammy didn't roll fire%. Glad to help.

Just showing off a different build than usual. Since the patch, Archon became lots of fun. Molten can be switched to any skill you desire. Enjoy.
Pros: Good sustain, good mobility, great burst, great utility.
Cons: Decent single target at best, squishy unless geared, need to pay more attention.

I change my paragon around A LOT. But just to give an general idea.
I put all points into VIT, that's until I can craft a better helm. Row two. CDR-CHD-CC. In that order. Row three. You really have to find the right balance with your gear. Max Armor, 40 in AR, rest in Life regen. Row four. Max Loh, Area damage, Resource reduction.
