I'm a level 55 Wizard now, just going towards the end of Act 1 Hell.
Before the game came out I thought Arcane Dynamo would be a super powerful passive, but it's not turning out to be that for me. I think with a substantial increase in Attack Speed would make it great though, as the real delay is in casting 5 signature spells.
I'm going to try get this to work, by spamming signature spells (I currently only have Shock Pulse, but I might change it to magic missile) and then unleashing a large damage spell for the 75% bonus (I was originally planning on it being meteor, but I really like Arcane Orb with the final Rune so it doesn't explode)
What's the best Attack Speed you've gotten on your wizard? Does holding orbs instead of a shield increase your attack speed? What items can you get Increased Attack speed on?

What good would attack speed be if you are only getting the AD bonus once, and if you use a skill like shock pulse: living lightning, you almost permanently have the AD on 5 and ready to go, I use it fairly effectively with blizzard or venom hydra on act 4 hell.
I've noticed when I get an Increased Attack Speed shrine, I cast signature spells much more quickly. It appears that for wizards, cast time is related to Attack Speed (which makes sense).
I must admit I haven't tried Living Lightening yet.
Say it takes 1 second to cast a spell (I'm not sure what it is), but I can get say 15% Increased Attack Speed, instead of taking 6 seconds to cast my signature spells + Arcane Orb, , it now only takes 5.25 seconds (0.875*5) to get Arcane Orb out. I can get the Arcane Dynamo bonus 15% earlier. It's just a thought, but I'll test it later tonight, maybe buy specific IAS gear.
Been searching all over for +Attack Speed Gear. Sacraficed my 1.4 APS wand with +133 vitality for a dagger which does 1.71 APS. Losing the HP is a shame, but I cast my signature spells ridiculously quickly now :Thumbs Up:
