Build Guide

Quin69 here. Hey boyz!

This build is what will be used in 4man groups for wizards in 2.4.1. The meta revolves around Energy Twister, yet again.

Basic game-play strategy:

You can stack Energy Twisters by aiming them right on inverted corners, so they stand still. You will see this a lot on my stream when we're farming EXP, so if you have trouble getting your Energy Twisters stick to the corner, come and watch.
Use Frost Nova, Explosive Blast to maintain your Tal Rasha and Orb of Infinite Depth buffs.
Use Electrocute when you run out of Arcane Power, and once in the beginning for Tal Rasha.
Keep Magic Weapon and Energy Armor up all the time.

A big thanks to the guys that tested the 4-player meta on the PTR.

If you liked the guide, then come follow my stream @ >>> www.twitch.tv/quin69 <<< for more D3 action! When I go live, any questions that you guys have can be answered live on stream!

Be sure to check back on the guide every now and then! as i am always making minor changes.
