I love this build,i can do solo play t6 no problem BUT at the moment i have a farm group with 2 friends of mine, Jade WD and pet WD, i will not lie i fell so useless compare with them, yes its nice when your Archon explode for 150mill or your doing 40-60 mill crit in archon but damn the numbers don't even compare with 300-500 mill my friends are doing, do we still use the same build in group play or we change something, at the moment im using meteor over black hole and honestly i don't see any different, the moment i get my harington im going for Harington+Strongarm+blackhole combo.
I keep reading from WD forums how wizards are so strong they don't even have time to put the dots on mobs, is that overexaggerate from them or just they play with super gear wizards, because the moment im out of my archon my dmg drop a lot, hell even in archon i still behind dmg compare with my jade WD friend
Those witching doctors saying they barely have time to put dots up are just doing it wrong. Witch Doctors are OP, you won't out DPS a Jade Witch Doctor in t6, and you will probably match the Pet WD. You have to remember that a Wizard brings a lot utility to the group. Blackhole on a very low cooldown brings crowd control and about 15% more damage to the group, and procs Strongarm Bracers which add another 20-30% damage to the group. You then have elemental exposure adding 20% damage for the entire group. That's 65% more damage for the entire group, plus you can do very competitive damage at high gear levels. People don't don't normally think this way in diablo though (critically), they just want to see huge numbers, and seldom understand where those huge numbers are coming from.
witch doctors are extremely annoying to play with especially the ones that hit shit and quit it...making the entire rift a royal pain in the ass for the rest of the group... i don't care if you are in full jade, run with 1mil dps and 1 shot every elite boss on the level. i seriously hope they get the nerf bat in the next patch.
strongarm bracers does not apply a buff for the entire group, it's just a 5 sec buff for yourself... i could be wrong but i've been reading a lot of conflicting reports about it. i have them but i prefer aughilds because rolling a perfect aughilds helm sucks with the 90 veiled crystal requirement in the mats
blackhole doesn't either, read the tool tip more carefully...only the damage reduction helps the party
tals is only good for the 3 piece bonus for more toughness....the meteors are very weak.
i run t6 pretty comfortably as solo and just recently joined the t6 legit community...going to start trying to get in some groups since i finally found an soj with fire %
since i don't have any cold damage coming from any source i recently inserted blizzard - stark winter/or relentless storm (depending on the rift) for an EE filller and it works wonders in this build
i have 49.34% cdr without crimson's and something like 54.something% with it so it's really not worth it...i'l take the tal rasha's 2 set bonus instead... i have a harrington's belt but some rifts just don't have anything to click on so it got annoying to use
50 second archon while up for 20 seconds, it's ready in another 30 sec... good nuff for me

sorry for butchering your thread

but i do see people switch in 2h weapons that have +20% elite damage for rift bosses

blackhole should cost triple, 60 ap
wormhole with a free cost of no ap boggles me
i'm looking forward to the next patch where blizzard does some serious class balancing
if you really want to be a badass then don't use mirrorball like the top wizards in the world...they all use firebird's eye
