I don't have any hard data, but farming Act II Inferno, I rarely find wizard gear, much less usable wizard gear. I find tons of single handed crossbows that do >600 dps, but in my hundreds of hours of playing I've found 1 wand that does 800. Just seems like wands and sources drop less often then other gear. I play as a wizard, I'm wondering also if the drop rates are less for wizards finding wizard gear.
Separate question -- whats the highest dps I can get on a 1) 1H sword, 2) staff, 3) wand in ACT II?
I've found quite a few wands. But I don't use a wand. They don't seem to have enough damage like you said. I currently have a wand in my stash that has 800 damage I believe but I won't use it because I have a better weapon.
I don't know if there is a set class that will give you the highest dps because of what can roll on each one. I know a staff has slow attacks compared to the rest. A dagger can also be used and those often have decent stats. You just have to know what to look for. What do you have for a current build?
not sure what the heck you're trying to do with your wizard but they mainly operate off int bro... lol
all bashing aside, your gear has to get a major overhaul. focus on int/vit/all resist gear asap strength and dex are for other classes!
ha, I go by whatever gives me the most + for life and damage on the comparisons. The few things that have high int have the downside that they take 3-6k off my life, and ~-1% on protection....
Also, the % life steal and + arcane power on your wand aren't going to do much for you. Get a higher dmg weapon with more int and a socket. Something like mine, only aim for something in the 800-900 dps range, as they're much cheaper.

Good lord, that is awesome. I don't find that stuff, and Im loath to use the AH. Ill keep hoping for some better drops for now...

I can get thru Zoltan Kuhle, but get squished trying to get thru Belial. I think my armor is way too low, and my damage output is a bit too low.
Mostly I've been farming the blood and sand quest. I do die, but not very often unless I get a particularly nasty elite.

I could try it regardless though...
i would try to throw some crit hit/dmg in there as well if you can
