This is my set up for my inferno wizard and the gear I use, I want your opinions and feedback on what im using, my stats and what my next upgrades should be for my gear. I breeze through A1 inferno, A2 is difficult but can be done with plenty of kiting. A3 is very tough seeing as there's faster moving mobs in smaller areas making it incredibly hard to kite them. Lmk what you think.
P.S. I know somebody will point out the fact I'm using glass cannon instead of critical mass as a passive. Reasoning is because the extra DPS seems to get the job done easier despite the %10 loss and with the recent hotfix crit mass doesn't activate often enough to make a huge difference in using Diamond Skin.
Just made some upgrades
I know theres the skill thing on battle.net but I used this so theres no links or changing pages to see it.
NOTE: Have been thinking about switching Galvanizing Ward for either Unstable Anomaly for the shockwave/knockback effect for a little more survivability or Temporal Flux for the reduced movement after throwing my Magic Missle, which I have 2.37 Attacks per second making me able to cast it extremely fast.
I need more information then just more of something.
For example: Your shoulders are low in intel and have some junk stats so im sure you could get some better ones with + vit
Something along those lines would be much more helpful.
Just some food for thought, but I think that you've gone a bit too middle of the road.
Personally, I run with like average of 450 Res and 5,5k Armor, but I only run with 14k dps (I don't stack atk speed because blizzard doesn't seem to benefit from it).
I have no problems, what so ever, so that's my thought.
I am just starting on act 2, but the relation between the two would be similar, just upgrading my dps through better weps etc.
Shields help immensely if you go through some rough packs.
Other than that, I'd definitely say that your rings should be upgraded, perhaps go with +damage, int, vit instead of int + atk%
The thing with this though is my attk speed is very helpful since im throwing the magic missles the second i click resulting in very little down time. I just switched galvanizing ward for temporal flux and it helps very much. Blizzard also isnt used as the main source of damage seeing the hydra and magic missle do much more. Im using blizzard for a little easier kiting ability.
Kind of similar to the build I'm mostly using. Seems kind of counter productive using Glass Cannon and Blur together (since with low HP you might aswell go all out on damage imo). I'd probably swap Blur for Cold Blooded (for more Blizzard damage) and swap Diamond Skin for some other defensive spell (like maybe Teleport, Mirror Image or Frost Nova).
I guess Galvanizing Ward can still be ok, it's also hard to replace because I don't think you need any other passive with this build anyway (perhaps Illusionist if using Mirror Image or Teleport).
Using blur to kind of counter react glass cannon is the reason i use it and the only thing that ever can kill me is melee. Without the reduced melee damage I'd be one shot making my energy armor useless.
You don't want to be going with a low dps set up... You won't be able to kill anything past act 1. You don't need super high HP to survive act 2 either. 20k with FA will allow you to survive pretty much everything, but will still be difficult later on in the act, some things will 1 shot you.
As for the op... Take a peak at your Helm, belt, shoulders.
