Jaetch, the "fun" build or some variation of it depending on my gear, looks like an interesting option for group play.. Something different anyway, I'll give it a shot.
I mean, with living lightning I can get archon back pretty quickly... usually a matter of seconds. Also when I play with people in groups we play on higher MP levels... 6 and up. Running an archon build (with my damage output) is significantly affected at these higher MPs via reduced uptime. I just hate the inefficient moments where I am not in face melting mode (archon).. Another thing: If I put on a piece of APoC gear, i will most likely lose DPS... is this worth it just to run with WW... I mean is it really that much better at cooldown reduction thatn other spells i.e. living lightning
So I havn't seen many threads discussing this, maybe I just missed them. What are everyone's favorite specs to play in groups with?? (Assume CM/WW is not an option as I will not play this spec) I seem to always be bouncing back and forth between different builds when playing in a group.... some variation of archon (however we all know these lose their efficiency in group play) and melee builds with blades and such...Obviously this question could be quite situational: Assume we are just doing mf/exp runs, not ubers also assume a good mix in the group, i.e. barb, WD, DH
I mainly farm on mp5 when running solo... which I can do with ease. However, the thought of mp10 is mindblowing, knowing that I will get crushed. Also I got trashed by some ubers the other night and it did not sit well with me. Thanks for the info guys, I am looking into pants, gloves, and some boots if I have anything left.
Bagstone, I run both group and solo. However, I have never used the enchantress.... benefits? Also, it seems to me that the real deal with making it to mp10 as a wiz is survivability... how do you survive the tough elites without cheap CM locking?? I guess you need 300-400k dps....which isn't easy to achieve. Any interesting builds out there having success?
What do you guys think would give me the greatest DPS or survival boost? I'm talking gear-wise. Also, ignore the shoulders, I will be slapping on some Vile Wards very soon. Don't mind the skills, I switch them all the time... classic archon build, stun-lock archon build, melee build with blades, and different variations. I can never stick with one build, however I never run CM since I have no APOC. Not to mention all that button smashing looks intense. Thoughts?

The other build I have used during group play is: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#WhXYSO!YWg!YcaZcZ
This build is really a melee tank and is also a fun variation.

Does anyone have interesting non-archon builds that boast efficiency in group play??
