So I played a kiting build through a1 and most of a2.This was my build before. I would change out Galv Ward and Magic weapon for other stuff sometimes but mainly stuck to this.
A2 was getting pretty tough and i stumbled across a guide for a melee wiz, and i wanted to try it but it was basically the opposite of the gear I had on. SO i switched and geared up for it, lots of resists, vit, you know, tanky stuff.
Below is the build i'm using now. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#WOXYkg!agc!acaZZc
It was fun but now I am ready to start act 3, and I'm gonna have to upgrade alot of my gear to do so.
Long story short, I liked both builds equally. Both were a blast and i could play either, But I'm wondering which would be the better route to commit to? I don't want to gear in the middle, I want to go one way or the other and stick to it for the rest of inferno. Is one considered better for endgame then the other?
Melee is working just fine for me, just as kiting works for others. If you go the melee route, however, you need very specific (not necessarily expensive) gear and the Energy Twister > WW / Explosive Blast > Chain Reaction spec. Look around these forums, there is a guide somewhere...
For most champion mobs melee is probably better right now until bliz nerf the crit rate of energy twister... the ability to psuedo-permaroot champion packs is just too good to pass up not to mention having almost infinite uptime on diamond skin

Any and all advice is appreciated!!
