I rolled a Wizard for Season 2 and am currently Paragon 41, but as I'm gearing up I struggle in finding a good build for lower Torment levels. With the one I'm using now (http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/guzacon-2777/hero/54704761) I can farm T2 and manage T3, but not as fast as I'd like.
Any hint? Which non gear-dependent build would you suggest?
If you're wearing Rimeheart you should try Frost imo. SInce you have neither Mirrorball nor Frostburn yet I suppose just go with Blizzard - Frozen solid and maybe Magic Missile - Glacial Spike (simply because it has the highest procc coefficient).
I myself went for a fire specc with desintegrate right away and up until now i can farm T4 fluently. Here's my season mage: eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Cori-2996/hero/54718255
Thanks, I just tried a cold build and I have to say that Rimeheart alone doesn't really cut it :/ It takes ages to kill mobs in T2 using Blizzard and Glacial Spike, and the procs remove less than 1/10 of a RG, so not that much.
Perhaps with almost no gear Disintegrate will speed things up a little?
This build is currently tearing through T1 Rifts at insane speeds, simply teleporting forever from pack to pack, melting them in seconds.
It's by no means optimal, I'm just building around what drops for me, but with a few more dps upgrades (wearing complete crap on several slots) I can see this melting through T2-T4 at comparable speeds, it's a lot of fun and incredibly efficient for legendary farming.
You'll definitely want as much APoC as you can get tho, makes it much smoother ofc.
If you don't have decent Arcane drops, run it with Arcane Torrent's Fire or Lightning runes, works similarly well. The idea is just to turn into a basically immortal teleporting turret.
Just ignore white mobs, pace your teleports, if you do run out of AP, Spectral Blade once or twice, good to go.
It'll work decently without Aether too, but not nearly as fast ofc.
Update:
Well this build let me farm insanely fast, I'm now running Tal's set with endless teleporting, and can easily farm T2-T3 at similar speeds as T1 before.

Thanks.
Guess u should have a few spells that froze the enemies. Was thinking of rimeheart
Thanks, but I also have + Fire damage on Neck and Bracers. Is Rimeheart that reliable? Should I try a frost build or focus on fire?

Sleet Storm works like a charm to proc maximum frequency of Meteors as long as you're applying all damage types ^^
