I thought i share a viable 2hand bulid that makes me play my wizard more than my barb. Its basically a kiting bulid without blizzard that uses Arcane Torrent Mines to slow mobs & Star Pact to finish mobs. I tested this spec multiple times on Bridge of Korsik Act 3 and it has decent survivability. All u need is a 2hander with 150+ int & 150+ crit dmg. Storm Crow head piece + some crit important to keep AP up. 850 all resist with prismatic armour. Sorry for the crappy first attempt at a video.

Heres the video:

My experience with 1.04 Arcane Mines is they serve the exact same purpose as Meteor - a delayed but potent tight-area AoE (with the option to spread it out a little). So you're basically alternating two Meteors , one of which gives you slow. I can't imagine this spec working in Act 2 though. Stuff moves around like crazy there.

Act 2 i have no issues at all, I find mines more similar to blizzard but better burst and easier to snare. Mines and Meteor are similar but work differently but i think they have good synergy. I hardly die in act 1 , 2 ,3 but act 4 is challenging to stay alive. I cant find a comparative 2hander burst dps bulid with good survivbility. Archon is crap in my view.
