Hello,

I don't know if this build has been discussed already but I just tryed that out it's really good for fast XP! Until now, I was using an Archon build. But one thing was bugging me, I had to stop to shoot my archon to kill mobs. So I tryed to think of a build where i didn't even have to stop and just walk trough enemy. Here's my final build:

1. Electrocute (I only using it for Elite)
2. Blizzard with increase area
3. Storm armor with the thunder stor (THIS IS THE MAIN SPELL). I know it might sound funny!
4. Arcane Hydra
5. Familiar (+ 12% dmg)
6. Increase Weapon (+ 15%)

passive:

Glass canon (for + dmg to help storm armor)
Cold blooded (to increase blizzard dmg)
There's one passive left to decide...


Ok, basically, what I do is, when I see a group of mob, i spam blizzard in the center while running and walk through them or close to them. The blizzard and the storm armor will litteraly destroy them almost intantly. If there's elite, Ill stop for 0.5 sec and spawn a Hydra, if need ill shoot a 1-2 eletrocute. With this build im basically running the whooole time and all I see is mobs getting DESTROYED around me du to the storm armor spell. With my previous archon build, i was running MP4. With this one, im running MP1-2 (for 1 hit storm armor) but im saving ALOT of time so the xp is much more interresting. I need to optimize the buid as I just found it but, until now, I think it's gonna be my main XP build.

I'm a wizard with around 140dps unbuffed, 180+dps buffed.

Have you ever see this build before? If not, TRY IT and tell me what do you think!
Cheers!

Just to show you the result, I've upload two short videos (sorry my comp was lagging too much!) just to let you have quick look. I'll try to upload better ones. I've put MP0 to show your the potential of the build but someone with more DPS could easily do it on mp3-4+. I'm usally running mp2. The second video is better





This build remind me D2 with all the Shock/Pulse spells and the Pally spell that was falling from the sky (I dont remember the name of it)

Try it and give me your comments

Fast without blink and cm is not fast. Critical mass and blink is the only tool a wizard have to speed up runs... A more proper title for your build should be. Yet another slow wizard spec.

Ok... I guess you don't like it. I like it.

What's 'blink'?

Huminator, seriously: stop being a troll. 80% of your posts are along the lines of "bla bla this is not 100% efficient so it's shit".

I've been an advocate of blizzard rush for quite some time now. I play it differently though, purely for xp.

It's okay, there's no credibility from someone who doesn't spend the majority of their play time on wizards.

Anyway, while Blizzard spam is fun and fast, I never really liked dropping a Blizzard and running away considering items may drop off-screen.

Using Storm Armor - Scramble, Archon - Teleport, and maximum move speed from gear can net 60-70M EXP per hour on average on MP1 if you can clear in between 5-10 minutes per run on the Alkaizer route.

Trolling? The guy set the topic as a new FAST xp build. Im simply just saying, thats without teleport and cm, it cannot be fast. And if its not fast, that means its slow. How exactly is that trolling?

most people running archon dont use archon - teleport. CM only resets Archon for you for the few times it drops off.
Archon runs are faster than CM-teleport.
This build is as fast as CM-teleport, if your in MP0.
I dont like this build either, because I dont like running MP0.
But you were trolling, or just saying anything to get attention....or to get your number of replies up.
But you certainly did not any value at all to the discussion.

His build is fast.....he didnt say faster than archon or CM, so your point is usueless anyway.
You're clearly just saying stuff on the interwebs to get attention.
