My question is what are some stat benchmarks for higher MP? What should I be shooting for when it comes to All Resist, Armor, and Health. I've heard for MP 5 and higher i should have at least 40k hp is that true or just for melee? Any help the Wiz community could throw my way would be great. Been a Monk main for so long would love to have some Wiz knowledge dropped on me.
I'm currently at about 500ish resist all (energy armor skill rune), 4900 armor (using energy armor w/o enchantress), and 104k dps with buffs. Oh and I currently ahve 17,000 gold so not asking for upgrades just for stat totals to aim for when I get the money. Thanks all!
EDIT: Just looked at the armory the belt is wrong I got rid of it but it won't update.
I have been playing this build exclusively for a while. See this thread http://www.diablofan...-ice-from-200k/ For me it was much more important to add life return to go up in MP. Life on hit works, you really need to use blizzard with snowbound so you can spam it. Life steal is better because it works nicely with RoF and Storm armor (reactive) LoH is much cheaper and you can make it work by casting extra blizzards.
My resists are pretty high but when I go away from storm armor to prismatic I am actually more squishy. Storm armor procs life steal. Every time you are hit, melee OR ranged it does 70% weapon damage to your attacker AND you get healed from LS. It does NOT work with LoH. This all has synergy, whenever I start to tweek the build to improve it, I end up disappointed.
I can’t give you exact benchmarks for stats but you do not need them. Look for DPS gear avoid IAS. As you make money add gear with EHP stats. Once you improve your gear experiment, go up in MP. If you have to go slower or die too much just go back and farm more until you can get more gear and rinse repeat. The top players really are not playing this build, they are archon or cheese build (sorry couldn’t resist), that means we are on our own. Please experiment and post your findings. Sometimes I have more HP and less armor resists, it depends on what I find/buy/craft. Welcome to the black Ice club. 1.08 will probably push you up 2 MPS or more if you are using LS because with LS DPS also increases survivability, creature die fast and you your health return increases..
Thanks so much for the responses! Magus I actually leveled for a long time with RoF back in the day and loved it. So when I decided to play the Wiz again I started using RoF Blizz after hearing about the buffs. I found your thread earlier this week and I read through and watched your vid. I'm excited to be playing something different from everyone else.
I'll start looking into life steal. I'm worried to swap armors but maybe I should just give it a try. I'll also take a look again at your build and experiment with it. Is Tal-Rasha's 4 set worth going for?

Dont swap until you have life steal. A that point you should give it a try, at least a run or 2 through act 3. Mob denisty really helps with this build and LS. With enough mobs on the screen I can tank and stand in anything. Yes, to Tal rasha's but its expensive or time consuming. If you hawk the AH you can get some good deals on the pieces. You can get amulet w/ 6% to cold and 4 piece gives you 3% more plus another 2 AP a second. I will post another video soon, I can do some insane shit in the depths on MP6, Rare , 2 elite packs and mobs everywhere, blizzards flying, black ice everywhere, nothing can stand in Black ICe, blizzard on top, plus a bunch of damage from having the nerve to attack you, then a little RoF it just melts, I can't stop smiling just thinking about it. Then loot covering every inch of 25" monitor screen. I want to leave work and go home slaughter crap right now
