Build Guide

Okay first things first.. This build is focused on the Mirror Image - Dublicates spell.

With Slow Time - Point of No Return and the braces, Ancient Parthan Defenders work together well with Mirror Image - Duplicates spell. Slow Time - Point of No Return stuns enemies that enter in and out of the area of which slow time is cast. Almost as soon as Mirror Image is cast when fighting crowds of enemies, all 5 Mirror Images cast Slow Time. Not only have you cause the enemies to slow down but you have stunned a lot of them. This activates the bracers, Ancient Parthan Defenders unique ability. Giving you %damage reduced per enemy stunned. This is good for t6. Not only do the Mirror Images cast Slow Time, but they also cast an extra Mammoth Fire Hydra and Blizzard - Apocalypse. This is one of the coolest tricks I've found out, using a fire wizard and if you understand how good Mirror Image actually is, you will find it very effective. All you need is to reduce you cool down of all skills and it will always ready for you to use, constantly reducing your damage and stunning enemies. You can use the Illusionist passive skill if you want, i don't really see a point in it. Illusionist is really only good with Teleport.

Hope you enjoy the build like I do. Here's the gear and keep in mind that this is just a reference to what you need, don't completely follow the the properties of the gear. Roll them how you want, just remember to reduce cool downs of all skills.
