EHP, high weapon damage, and a SoJ are key. Rubies help in this case for weapon damage.
1. Healing Blades - I use a 30% to elites, 6% Fire damage, 10% Spectral Blades bonus SoJ. 5% recovery isn't too shabby either. The Fire damage from my SoJ is also used for the Conflagration passive.
Firstly, what weapons or mainhand/off hands do you suggest? I can't tell if the gear on your armory is what you use for dueling, since it looks like straight dps gear, except you have 100k life.
I don't have a crazy good mainhand or shield, so I use a Skorn with 1382dps, 300int and 300vit. It seems to work well for me, since I'm not too worried about attack speed, and this weapon damage brings some really high crits. I'm also not too sure if I should go with a ruby or emerald in a skorn, since it's such a slow attack speed.
Secondly, are you sure the ele damage type lets you benefit from passives like conflagration? Like, would a cold SoJ let you benefit from cold blooded or would an arcane SoJ slow targets with a non-arcane spell if you use temporal flux? or even lightning SoJ's with paralysis (even though that passive is complete trash).
If that's definitely true, I'd like to pick up a fire damage one, or maybe arcane so I can mess around with some other spells
This thread has been great so far. I've really only had success with the standard 'seek and destroy' build, but I'm planning on testing a few more as soon as I can.
Can we also get some discussion going on how to gear/itemize for wizard pvp? Not sure if you want to fit that into this thread, or if we should make a separate new one for what stats to look for and how much of each to get (resists/armor?). These could vary depending on your opponent of course, but it'd be nice to have an overall guideline that you can count on against all classes, if that's possible.
It's looking like having high vit/life is crucial, then increased damage to/reduced damage from elites helps quite a bit since it's basically PvP power and PvP resilience for any of you that have played WoW.
I've found it sort of unreliable to try and stack crit damage, crit chance and attack speed like we do in PvE. I'm aiming for a decent amount of crit chance, maybe 30% or so, and like 200% crit damage. It seems like straight intellect could be more beneficial than stats like CC/Cdmg/AS. Attack speed is important for missile spamming, but I think I'll get most of it from a chantodo's set. Then again, I could be very wrong about this stuff, since I haven't been testing very long. These are just first impressions.
