Hi! I'm just curious to what you all think is the best class partner to with (2 players) when trying to tackle grifts 30+? On the EU HC leader boards most 2 man groups are DH and Monk (I assume it's a zDPS monk). But what about WD with BBV? Does the zDPS monk still outperform a BBV WD? I play M6 DH and my partner currently plays Firebird Wizard but we don't think the two classes have good synergy with each other. Would it be best if my partner starts rolls a zDPS monk//WD or would it be best if I play a zDPS monk/WD? Or should we just continue on with our DH/Wizard combo?
Yeah I guess you're right. But the video I saw of the guy beating GR45(?) with the build died a ton at the start and had some really dodgy moments. Granted it's GR45! But I'm playing hardcore, I just can't take the risks like that.
Hi I came across a shitty SoJ and I wonder if it is better than my ring I'm using today. I don't have the game in front of me so I don't remember the exact stats, but it is something like this: lightning dmg 15%, Dex ~460, loh ~(irrelevant number), Elite dmg 30%. I don't remember the secondaries. The ring I am curently using is a pretty good rolled Leorics signet: Dex 499, CHD 48, CHC 5, Socket So the question is if the 30% elite damage outweighs the CHC,CHD and the little bit if Dex that I will be loosing?
And if I'm to use the SoJ... will I re-roll loh or lightning damage to socket or CHD? I figure Lightning damage to socket right? Because even if I don't attack much with M6 I am still attacking once in a while?
Thanks for the replies. Guess I have to get more paragon points then. And yeah I will get better gear eventually. Can't get the best re-rolls with current gear. But I thought sentry dmg was wanted over %life on shoulders? And I guess armor stat isn't nearly as good as %life now that dex gives armor.
I just got my M6 set and took a peek at the leaderboards (hardcore solo) and everyone of the top 50 DHs had a toughness number of around 15mil. I check their gear and of cause they have better gear than me but not really so much that they are doubling my toughness and then some (I'm at 6mil). Or am I wrong (read: do I still have shitty gear)? I'm kind of a semi-casual player so I'm sure that there is something that I'm not getting. Can someone please enlighten me on how to achieve those toughness numbers.
hm... I think I'm going for a arcane torrent build since I already have some gear with +arcane torrent damage.
But how should I gear? For instance which weapon should I use? Does higher Int and extra CHD on theExarian outweigh the higher base dmg and + AP on the Chantodos will? Should I go for CHD or Int on the Moonlight ward?
I think the dream would to have a fire build with magic missile and meteor. But that would require a cindercoat and mirrorball. I am leaning away from cold as I don't find it as effective in T1. So the most viable would to be switching towards an arcane torrent build? Considering the items I have atm.
What would be a good generator if I want to go for an arcane, arcane torrent, build? Also wouldn't I get easily swarmed when I'm not kiting? How would I deal with that?
I started a HC Wiz when loot 2.0 got released and I've been trying to start farming T1 but I've been struggling with it. I've tested playing on T1 a few times but I quickly realize that my damage is too low. It usually take 2-3 frozen orbs to kill most white mobs and in elite fights I'm very arcane power starved. I think my defenses are pretty good as I'm not taking too much damage each hit (about 300k HP, 8000 armor, 2000 all res), healing is low but I'm usually playing by myself with the Templay follower and that has been, so far, enough. So I've been farming mostly on normal and just recently farming hard (because it's just as fast as normal and I can get some bonus exp for them paragon levels).
Anyway, here is my bnet profile and my profile on Diabloprogress.
In terms of my rares, I think I've got about as good rares as I can get without spending a ton of gold crafting/re-rolling stats to be much better than they are today. The only exception is my Amulet, but I'm not gonna spend 800+k gold combining gems so I can craft them.
I'm currently running Frozen Orb build just because my reapers wraps rolled cold plus I got an Azurewrath. The build in my profile is the one I'm using while farming normal/hard. I tried a little more defensive build when attempting T1, replacing Familiar with Prismatic Armor, Black Hole Event Horizon instead of Absolute Zero and Safe Passage instead of Wormhole on Teleport.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to build up enough damage to oneshootingwhites on T1 and melt Elites with some ease withoutsacrificingsurvivability. I'mdefinitelynot locked to my FO build, I will use other builds if it is more effective.
I have a few items saved in my stash that maybe can change things up! Stuff in my stash™: (none of these items have been enchanted) Weapons *Chantodos Will: 2,357.1 DPS; 1389-1758 Damage; +1196-1401 Damage; +670 Int; 7% AS; 9% RCR; +12 AP; 1.6% Chill on hit. (I can re-roll AS to Socket if I'm changing from cold build.) * Exarian: 2,034.2 DPS; 1222-1684 Damage; +1054-1292 Cold Damage; +725 Int; 34% CHD; 8% RCR; +186 exp; 1.8 Blind on hit. (I can re-roll RCR to socket.) I don't know which of the two is better? Higher int+crit or better base dmg+AP. Or should I stick with cold thus making my Azurewrath better than both? Source * Triumvirate: +293+352 Damage; 7% Fire; 7% Lightning; 9% Arcane; +659 int; 9 CHC; 14% Wave of Force; +14 AP; +196 exp. (Re-roll skill bonus to skill bonus of spender.) I loose to much Toughness compared to my rare source. Plus it doesn't have + cold damage. Maybe will work if I go Arcane. Amulet * Moonlight Ward: 25% Arcane; +735 Vit (WHY VIT!?!?!?); 5% AS, 9% CHC; Health Globe +27,858. (Re-roll AS to Int or CHD). Equippingthis if I go arcane I guess. Ring * RoRG: +451 Int; 5% AS; 2001 Regen; +1738 LoH; +155 Lightning resist. (Such crappy rolls, I guess re-rolling AS to CHC or CHD) * Legacy SoJ: + Fire damage; +27% Elite damage; + magic missile skill (Don't have numbers, forgot to take screenshot of it) Super crappy roll on RoRG, no point in using it since I don't have any set pieces. Same with SoJ if I'm not playing Fire build. Other * Promise of Glory (Bracer): 15% Fire damage; +423 Int; 5% CHC; +1691 LoH; +141 Arcane resist. (Can re-roll LoH to Vit/%Life/Armor) * Thundergod's Vigor (Belt): 10% Lighting Damage; +471 Int; +431 Vit; 10% Shock Pulse Damage; +155 Lighting resist. (Pretty weak rolls, I'd probably re-roll skill damage to all-res.) I have other rare bracers of various elements + decent int/CHC/all res or I can simply craft Reapers Wraps. I have some rare defensive (int/vit/armor/all res/) belts saved in stash, plus the rolls really aren't that great.
I have the 70 Cain set plan and Mantle of Rydraelm plan. Maybe I should start to craft them just so I can have a bit higher rolls for these slots? I'm gambling for a pair of Ice climbersbecauseI were nearly perma freezed in Keep Deapths, don't want to experience that again.Also looking for plans for Aughild's set and Captain Crimsons set as well as Blackthorne set for that elite affixesimmunity (I don't know why so many hate that set).
Anyway... super long read. Hope you can help me improve my wizzard. I'm pretty tired of farming normal/hard atm.Thanks!
PS. I don't know if this should be in the HC or Wizzard subforum. Move it if it's wrong. The HC forum is pretty dead atm.

Thanks for the reply. So it doesn't really matter if my DH team up with monk or WD? They are equally strong when partnering up with a DH?

I wonder if the 2 random attributes on Ice Climbers are 1 primary + 1 secondary or 2 secondary. Potential 5 primary item?
