T6 Rifts spec for me:http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#UeYjSO!ZTSR!bcbacc
Lightning Blast (lightning proc) builds Arcane Dynamo for Arcane Torrent (arcane proc). Sparkflint (fire proc) buffs all damage, including the Meteors. Frozen Mist (cold proc) lasts eight seconds, so the cast triggers a Comet drop and triggers a second Comet drop on expiration. LOH/passive damage from Frozen Mist are bonuses.

Usually never have to stop moving. Cast Lightning Blast (lightning proc) on stray targets that survive Arcane Orbit (arcane proc) and Moonlight Ward (i switch to this when speed running). Sparkflint (fire proc) boosts damage. Frozen Storm (cold proc) adds passive cold effect and provides an easy way to break destructibles for my Warzechian Armguards.
i was wondering with the build you're using could u solo t6 i've seen a video of you and your friend duo t6
It's exactly what I use in my T6 videos, well, at least in the latest one.
Just answered your question in the previous post. It does not work with CDR. I can imagine Tal's being absolutely amazing with CDR, but they don't work together right now.
We posted at the same time ... but anyway will have my cdr for BH and molten impact metrors lol ...
So Jaetch, should i use AD with my current build?
I don't use AD except for T5 and T6. It just drastically speeds up kill time for elites and Rift Guardians. On T4 and below I usually run Audacity in place of AD.
Also, Electrocute still has a speed coefficient of 2.0, meaning it's two Electrocute casts per 1 APS, which means building up AD stacks in half the time. Won't work nearly as well with other signature spells (like MM), which all have a speed coeffecient of 1 (or one spell per 1 APS).

you can proc meteor with the weapon damage type. So if you have a weapon that has the primary affix "+ X to Y arcane damage", attacking with that weapon with any skill will trigger that meteor.
Tested this before and it does not work. If your weapon has the chance to chill or freeze a target, however, it can proc a Cold Meteor.
Edit: Just tested; chilling and freezing targets with gear procs do not trigger cold Meteors.
Quote from GGtext» Doesn't arcane dynamo get used up by the meteor. Found it annoying >.<
Yes, but that's a first world problem. If you learn to pay attention to the average damage you deal per missile from Arcane Torrent (or the channeling spell of your choice), you'll know when you managed to successfully buff your spell. To be safe, I usually deliberately dump my Meteors by blowing all my elements right away during a fight, then ramp up AD.
Scenario: See elite pack, cast Frozen Mist (trigger Comet), Sparkflint automatically hits (trigger Meteor Shower), build AD stacks with Lightning Blast (trigger Lightning Bind), start channeling buffed AT to finish (trigger Star Pact). In any situation where a Meteor falls and consumes AD, just pay attention to ramp up AD again. Doesn't take more than a second or two. Lightning Blast hits pretty hard for a signature spell anyway so it's not a total wash.
Quote from Fujin»
Blizzard is easy to use due to the low cost of cascade and it deals quite some dmg. You can also swap the runes for different ones ofc
I found it beter then the mist due to the range.
Blizzard has an attack turn. Frost Nova doesn't, meaning you can cast it anytime without interrupting your AT or Electrocute channel. Using up an attack turn and interrupting your channel is even more problematic on higher Torment levels where Arcane Dynamo becomes a far more attractive option. It starts getting clunky if you have to use AD to buff both Blizzard and AT and have to stop channeling AT to cast Blizzard. In addition, Blizzard costs 40 AP. Unrelenting Storm deals 162% weapon damage per second during its 8-second duration. Frozen Mist costs 0 AP and deals ~114% weapon damage per second during its 8-second duration.
Unrelenting Storm (Blizzard in general) has a proc coefficient of 0.0125 compared to Frozen Mist's 0.05. The latter has a huge LOH and APoC return advantage. The only advantages I see from Unrelenting Storm are slightly higher damage per second and slightly bigger AOE. Justifies the 40 AP cost, visual noise, and sustain disadvantages? I personally do not think so.

Standing by a target with Frozen Storm ticking away:
0% CDR: Comet every 8 seconds.
45.5% CDR (8% shoulders, 6% source, 12.5% Diamond, 20% Evo, 10% Paragon): Comet every 8 seconds.
Using Electrocute with 45.5% CDR, Lightning Bind every 8 seconds.
