Hey folks, just thought I would share a build I am having success with, solo & in partys. My wizard isn't godly geared with billions worth of gear, so I think this could help a lot of other players. Quick note, this build would be even better if I had a helm + weapon with +Arcane Power on Crit but it still works nicely with just an off-hand.
Level 1 Torment is comfortable for me, level 2 is do-able and challenging.
Explain the skills you chose and why, a video of the build in action would be nice. I tried mirror image and the clones seem to be always in the wrong spot and are a little bit stupid.
Kiwi - You want to use the Mirror Images close to the pack you're fighting, they will cast Frost Nova (Giving you a damage boost using Bone Chill rune), leaving you to nuke. Then you still have your own Frost Nova if any mobs get close and are giving you bother.
I normally Teleport close to pack, cast Mirror Images, Teleport away (Wormhole) & then quickly nuke with Arcane Orb - Scorch.
With the Illusionist Passive, it is basically also resetting the cooldown of Frost Nova because your new Mirror Images can cast it again.
Have you tried Slow Time: Stretch Time instead of magic weapon? Imo 50% (and more) IAS is more worth than the mediocre shield+%dmg from MW.
Yeah I know it's very OP and can stack silly amounts but there is 2 problems.
1. I'm not geared enough to eat lots of elite packs affixes, especially the more nasty ones on Torment difficulty and the mass bubbles make it impossible to see.
2. I honestly think its a matter of time until blizzard nerf it as I highly doubt the attack speed stacking to stupidly high values is working as intended.
However I might try ditching the spell in favour of something else to see if I can stumble across more good synergy.
