Basic Information
While some dedicate their entire lives to learn the skills of a mage, some are just born naturally talented. This self-proclaimed Wizard was a prodigy and seeks to surpass any magic wielder before them. With the ability to conjure the elements such as lightning, the Wizard has also moved on to control the Arcane itself being able to manipulate both time and space. While others are in the fight to rid the evil from the world, the Wizard is out just to prove her skills are better than any other who oppose her.

With the changes to Electrified mobs, namely the ICD, it's possible melee classes can sneak in there again. I'm not sure. But Wizard and (I think) WD damage is comparitively low to DH, and that wasn't addressed, so I dont see that changing yet.
As to Melee damage, I have no idea where or how they compare to Demon Hunters.

If MM was too strong a primary, fine, nerf it. removing viability from the other items, esp, a set that required three legendary pieces? They can keep their game and I'll keep my money.

Literally almost everyone says you don't want IAS for a channeling build. It DOES drain your resources faster, sure, but you don't do less damage and maybe you get more. It's been repeated so many times everyone believes it, and maybe they are right too, maybe it IS the worst stat, but it's not a loss.

Explosive Blast should have a "Blast Wave" rune to knock enemies back and deal Fire damage.
Shock Pulse, Blizzard and Hydra and Crystal Shell need not to suck. These spells are not used for a reason...

Edit: Seeing as how you are new here; Disintegrate works a bit different then your normal spell. It deals its damage in the form of many ticks per second instead of all at once like Orb. These ticks are combined into the damage number you see, but will never be in yellow critical hit text. Rest assured it does critically hit.
