    Slow and Cheap
    by edgythezombie

    A build for a Wizard that takes advantage of slowing down enemies to deliver damage, and does it without using much arcane resource!

    Electrocute is the main skill, it seems to kill enemies fast and arcs. I love the chain lighting rune since it delivers 6x the coverage. Its a good way to finish a pack of enemies without wasting any arcane power.

    Blizzard is my secondary skill. I love cold skills and this one covers a good area. I think it also has a chilling effect but I'm not sure. I like to cast spells alot so I put in a snowbound rune to reduce arcane power usage. If it doesn't chill monsters I would swap this with the Tap the Source Arcane Orb variant.

    Slow Time is my next skill. I use it for its movement speed reduction and ranged attack protection. I add a time warp rune to increase damage which will help decimate foes quicker. The downfall of this build might be the damage output, but I can't say that yet!

    Arcane Orb makes a good trajectory skill. I want something long ranged and powerful I can throw at foes so I chose this. To reduce costs I attached a Tap the source rune. I want to spam this baby.

    Energy armor is a good way to add defense. I am not too cool with the glass cannon concept so I'd rather increase my defense and take a few blows. I added a Energy tap rune to increase my arcane power so I can spam more skills.

    Explosive blast is a great skill with slow time and when foes get too close. I added a Short fuse rune to eliminate the waiting time. I want instant explosion.

    Passives are:
    1. Astral Presence: To increase arcane pool and regeneration for more use of arcane orb and explosive blast
    2. Blur: Reduces melee damage. Enough said I want to survive.
    3. Paralysis: Since electrocute is my main skill, I want to take advantage and stun enemies once in a while. With chain lighting this might be activated sooner. This helps to slow them down and keep me safe.
