There we go! The starting set for us Wizards is right here. And with this you can mix around a lot because the things you need

are given to you by the Haegrid's Gift through the Season Journey.

First of all, we have open slots on a few items here, for example we can go for practically any belt we want, even a yellow one.

You can use any amulet you find as long as it has a bit of intelligence, crit and crit hit damage.

The Kanai's Cube Weapon Slot AND Armor Slot are both open for fun stuff.

In the weapon slot you can throw in a The Furnace or an In-geom, or even Shard of Hate, it don't matter that much.

The things that do kick this build up to the skies quickly is the 6-set bonus, the Unstable Scepter and Triumvirate.

These items will grant you AMAZING FROZEN ORBS (Diablo 2 Flashbacks)

I'll tell you all about what we focus on to make this work in the video below.

Paragon Priorities

Core

Movement Speed
Primary Stat
Vitality
Maximum Resource

Offense

Critical Hit Damage
Critical Hit Chance
Cooldown Reduction
Attack Speed

Defense

Armor
Life
Resist All
Life Regeneration

Utility

Resource Cost Reduction
Area Damage
Life on Hit
Gold Find

Not much to be said. Movement speed is a killer and it's fun.

Crit Hit Damage priority basically since we have 10% Crit on the offhand.

If you have low Crit you can ofcourse go for low Crit.

Cooldown Reduction gives you a good bit of escape mechanic with blink on lowered cooldown.

ARMOR AND LIFE, Important in Defense Tree. We need ARMOR because we gain no armor pretty much.

Build Guide

Enjoy the video I have provided that will help you with gameplay of the build, what to focus on and

how to simply build up your amazingly large crit with the Frozen Orb and also how to SURVIVE! =)
