Tried this with the Illusionist + Mirror Images... Feels like CM wiz in 2.0! You'd be able to almost perma freeze elites! While gaining shields (like diamond skin)
Skill build: Spectral blade: Flame blade Arcane Orb: Scorch Magic Weapon: Deflection Mirror Images: Duplicates Frost Nova: (whichever rune) I used Bone Chill last skill (whichever you want) I used Slow Time:Strech Time
Passive: Conflagaration Illusionist last passive (Whichever you want) I used Unstable anomaly - Glass cannon works as well
Was just testing out Torment levels using D3:V gears (i.e. no new gears from PTR) and found that I could face tank quite a few things (except puddles on the ground: thunderstorm & poison). My gear was a mix of Archon + CM wiz gear.
I found the Arcane Orb: Scorch had the best synergy with MW:D, but also found that practically anything that leaves puddles/DoT works as well. With pretty much unlimited AP, I could spam AC:S (which stacks!) and instantly the shields would build up very rapidly. In addition, AC:S ticks return health due to LS. I used Conflagration as a passive to increase the CHC on mobs, resulting in more AP! (I only have 9 APOC from helm). For fun, I used Arcane dynamo + electrocute: Surge of power. This works as well with Living lightning, but electrocute is much quicker at hitting ranged enemies.
Just for reference, basic stats: Unbuffed DMG: 192.351 Toughness: 197,847 HP: 31,846 LOH: 462 LS: 2.60% APS: 1.90 CHC: 47.30% CHD: 467% APOC: 9
Not sure if AC:S was supposed to have such high proc coefficients, but it seems to just about be the CM wiz's solution in ROS without changing much gear at all.
