Nah, you did note the abbreviations and point out my little dictionary for further references. The other guides, I can't say, did the same. Which is why I agree with some of the readers that the wizard and barb guides were the most well done
Blackthorne's Surcoat rolls a maximum of 200 vit and comes with two random properties, so I can't get double int with armor or int+armor to match my current Zuni chest. Also, dropping the 2-piece Zuni costs me over 12K DPS.
As for Zuni boots to make up for losing the 2-piece bonus (if a 200 int/300 vit with bonus/80 res BT Surcoat is involved), even with a 200 int, 100 vit, 600+ armor, 80 res, 6% poison boots will only net me 5K DPS at the cost of over 65K EHP. In the case of a 100 int/300 vit with bonus/800+ armor/80 res BT Surcoat, I lose 5K DPS and about 30K+ EHP.
With 3-piece Zuni (with the "BiS Zuni Trail" mentioned above), I only gain 4K DPS at the cost of over 20K EHP. I would probably make such an upgrade, but that's if and only if such a Zuni Trail appears. Also, the Ice Climbers I currently have is the best in the U.S. server in terms of int+vit combo. The only boots that could beat it out in terms of both DPS and EHP are any other Ice Climbers with greater int, max life %, at least 90 vitality, equal res and 500ish total armor... And those simply don't exist at the moment.
Great Guide, just one question: Since Lacuni's, Inna's Temperance and Zuni boots are all BiS and all have MS, should you get all 3 (since MS is capped at 25%) or just two? If only two, which ones should you get?
Speaking from experience, I used to run all three simply because of the DPS bonuses, not the movement speed. Some people just enjoy heavily inflated DPS numbers and as wizards, those are the items that provide the biggest DPS contributions.
If you want EHP, on the other hand, different story...

Looks like you, along with the others who made the guides, made it onto the front page as well.
