So I just hit 60 this morning and have started Inferno and holy crap....I am trying to get some good info for help in it. Right now my build is Electrocute (lightning blast) Arcane Orb (tap) Diamond skin Hydra Mirror Image and Storm shield. I also use prodigy galvanzing ward and arcane dynamo. Is there a better way to gear or things to use? I have basically been using this build since Nightmare so I havent played much other ways. Any help would be much appreciated. Also what should i be looking for in Inferno gear?
This is the "standard" build that most inferno wizards start out with. Its certainly not the only build that works, but if you are new to the class/inferno and are starting out I would try it before trying other things:
There are a bunch of choices in this build (MM w/ seeker vs piercing orb, diamond skin vs force weapon, galvanizing ward vs. several other things, wormhole vs fracture), but that is the basic build that you should start from.
For me, a wand with 800 DPS and +5 (or more) AP on critical hit helps out a lot (if your crit chance is above 25%). I also find that you definitely need to have a pair of boots with +12% movement speed since it helps with kiting A LOT. That being said, try and aim for 1k+ intelligence and 25k HP (minimum). It may sound difficult, but with time and practice, you'll get the hang of it.
I am pretty new to the whole Diablo game, and I guess I stack to much vitality. I am a very casual player and reached 60 some time on Wednesday, I think. Anyways, I am a cheap bastard an dont like to spend gold. So I have 68k Health and 22k dps( 1709 int), Vitality is cheap .
I use arcane hydra and arcane torrent as my primary dmg dealers. Then I have Familiar - Sparkflint, Magic Weapon - force weapon and Storm Armor - Strike back, as boosters. The first chapter of Inferno was a walk in the park.
I know I dont have any defensive skills, but why waste 2 or 3 boosts on defensive, if you can just kill stuff and move on?
