Build Guide
A Wizard built around automatic casting of AOE damaging spells while channeling an AOE spell. I'm in my 60's. This makes life easier for me, so sue me
It's not going to be the best, but it lets me play without cussing too much.
It's enough.

Drastic changes to the build. It's a beast as it stands. Just hit Paragon 229, solo'd a G-rift 48 in under six minutes and was never in any kind of trouble.
I cast a Hydra out in front at my screens limit, channel Arcane Torrent which auto casts twisters which gather everything up. If it's still alive ( not usually ) I'll plop down the Slow time ( which I use as a kind of defense as I move forward, I stand in the middle of the bubble. It keeps those leaping bastards and snakes from giving me issues ) I then repeat the process. Bosses I use two Hydras to where their frost nova pulses just touch, put the slow time up and burn the boss down with Arcane Torrent. So far, too easy!
I use the Sorc as my companion.
She has
Sages Journey - Head, waist and boots.
Nemesis Bracers
Goldskin Chest
Flavor of Time Necklace
Spaulders of Zakara
Gladiator Guantlets
Pox Faulds Pants
Avarice Band
Weapon - The Furnace
Her skills are:
Temporal Pulse
Prophetic Harmony
Powered Shield
Fate's Lapse
Krede's Flame
Just the way I like it.

So far I am having a blast with this build. It kills quicker than I expected and is a decent bounty build because of this. Especially brutal to cursed chest bounties.
An oddity in this site claims The Magistrate needs Frost Hydras to cast frost novas. I can assure you this is false. I use Blaze Hydras and they cast the frost nova as expected.
Hi there, just wondering why you are using the Ranslor's Folly bracer, when you dont have any twisters from your skill. Appreciate you taking your the trouble to share you build. I am in my 50's and still enjoying the game too!
Hello, The Ranslors work on the auto cast twisters that the Etched Sigils generates Even without Twisters as a usable skill. It's brilliant!
Thank you! My bad, the description of the Etched Sigil in the above pic, did not mention twisters! Got it! Thanks for taking the trouble to answer!
No problems at all. I hate that they changed the Etched, but what can ya do ? It still does a great job. I get two skills continuously casting basically for free with the belt and Magic Weapon: conduit. With the companions set the way they are I'm getting mad amounts of gold and deaths breath. Her paper doll damage is actually higher than mine, but interestingly she can't really tank on her own even with the "no die" focus she has on. Still, it's like a decent D.o.T. out there and something for mobs to focus on besides me so I'm not complaining!
If you don't mind watching your resource a little more you can put in Goldwrap and swap out Zei's for a Boon of the hoarder. You'll be nearly invincible but be warned, greater rifts don't have gold drops so be careful. To make it a bit more manageable I change Magic weapon to Familiar: arcanot,
I recreated my old build. It's called Twisted Sister, if you want to see what that was about.
