Build Guide


YOU NEED BOON OF THE HOARDER AND GOLDWRAP


It doesn't have to be over level 25, but it does help a lot. You don't need firebirds, but I can't guarantee it will work if you're not using it either.


Basics


The basic just of the build is to get in the face of enemies, get 5 stacks of Arcane Dynamo and cast blizzard. Pick up gold to get toughness, make money and exp. I feel being in melee makes it easier for us wizards to pickup the gold than kiting with just the regular Firebirds build. Also remember, this isn't for group play. Sure, you can use it. But Boon of the Hoarder doesn't proc as often because you're less likely to get all of the kills.


Why These Skills / Items


Spectral Blades: Flame Blades - An easy to cast ability, puts us at the gold when it drops and makes our Blizzard do more damage.

Blizzard: Apocalypse - Helps deal constant damage, while applying Firebirds and lets us kite before we have armor from Goldwrap.

Teleport: Wormhole - Teleport is an all-around good ability. Mobility, engage, disengage. Just useful.

Mogic Weapon: Force Weapon - 20% increase to all damage is nice for clearing trash.

Energy Armor: Prismatic Armor - Gives us overall tankyness. Which helps to get us started.

Familiar: Sparkflint / Black Hole: Blazar - You can switch out Familiar's 10% increase to damage for CC if you'd like.

Wand of Woh Variant

Use your 4th ability slot for Explosive Blast: Short Fuse and swap out Arcane Dynamo for Evocation if you have Wand of Woh. It's much better for clearing trash.



Tests / Data

I haven't done any tests as of yet, and literally just made up this build. I'll be doing 1hr sets later to try and gauge the Gph/Gpm
