Build Guide

An all-purpose farming build for the Wizard I concocted to farm DB's and anything else I need with some single swaps. It uses Broken Promises for 100% CHC at all times plus Manald Heal to deal damage. You may have noticed that there are no buffs to damage on gear affixes, so how am I doing damage in T13? Two words; Manald Heal. That ring is so OP that it + CHD values provides you enough damage to farm T13, even in groups. AD is just icing on the cake to provide more damage to speed things up a little. So why not tack on more damage to kill faster? Because Wizard is way too squishy and the Tal Rasha set provides little to no damage reduction, that is why all of those defensive affixes are present.

PROS:

Build is excellent for starting fresh.

Can farm all T13 content and GR60 at an acceptable speed.

Is super tanky, can face-tank multiple molten explosions and live.

Can crowd control for groups if needed.

Extra Death's Breaths on Elite/Champ kills.

CONS:

Movement speed is questionable pending on the group composition.

Tricky to kill Goblins because they often don't hold still.

Build performance caps out at GR70 stats.

UPDATE: Changed cube weapon slot after discovering more of D3 dev team's retardation.

UPDATE 2: Changed the weapon again to Rimeheart and switched out Frost Nova for Blizzard with Frozen Solid for extra DPS. This helps in killing goblins easier compared to before.
