Build Guide

This is a Support Wizard Build. Non-Meta use for leach or duos, Monk is a better zDPS/ Support

It is built for more survive ability then support and there are several ways to configure it. I have found this build to be the simplest to play in terms of abilities and skill. There is a really tanky build, you get the initial Damage Reduction of 60% just by having a slow time out with the 4 Set of DMO, you then get another 80% from Halo of Karini, then another 50 % from the Aquila Cuirass, and if you do take the Orb of Infinite Depth and explosive blast when you get for stacks you get another 80% DR. Added in Vit gems and the Molten Wildebeest's you will be super tanky.

Use the Numlock trick to constantly have you four stacks of explosive blast.

So now you can't die, but how can you help. Start with your slow time with Crown of Primus you get every rune added to your slow time, now you can take the last run which gives the DPS (person doing damage) a DPS boost. You are also taking Iceblink so when you use ray of frost you are putting additional crit chance on those mobs. You will also be slowing them causing them to trigger Bane of the Trapped that the DPS is using.

With Black Hole it is a must that you take the event horizon, you will use it for grouping mobs but most importantly any arcane lasers, projectiles and explosion or really any affix on the ground can be removed with this ability.
