I did Ghom tests with Arcane Torrent and it was definitely slower than Magic Missile (~14s with MM only, ~17s with AT only, both on T3; short kills are better for sole DPS measurements as AP is not an issue). However, I talked to another wizard yesterday who said that for him AT performed better than MM, but he also had AT bonus damage. I'd say it comes down to preference, but in my opinion MM and AT are very very similar in its mechanics and I'm not too keen on either of them, only using MM because if I wouldn't it would decrease my DPS considerably.Quote from SyldraI'm one of those wizards running arcane torrent, got my moonlight ward yesterday and immidiatly switched to audacity.
I run a triumvirate with 9% arcane and 4 APOC.
How do you feel that would compare vs mirrorball? At this time I rarely run out of AP, usually in 4player games where I'm the top dps'er or some elite packs.
As a comment on your build: I wouldn't use force weapon because of its chance to knockback, as I'd want all enemies close to me - do you notice any issues with that?
About the knockback - never even noticed it. Not an issue at all. However, I rarely play solo, usually with 1-2 Demon Hunters and they would kill everything that gets knocked back. And since I mostly run T1, 99% of the mobs die from 1-2 waves anyways.
