I'd definitely look at a non-APoC OH. 19 should be sufficient with your high crit. If you drop too much crit, like swapping from nats to rare ring with only 3-4% crit, you might lose the ability to sustain against single target. If you mainly solo farm with scoundrel then you probably don't have to worry about that as long as you're still above 50% CC. In that case IC+rare ring will probably give you more dps. You'll lose a little crit but it won't be too bad since you don't have a crit nat's ring. I prefer the IC combo because I prefer the higher dps.

Also, you can probably get better BT pants for cheap since the AR on those is kind of low and the bonus roll is mostly useless for wiz. I'm fond of AR+armor BT pants but those are probably more than your budget, so it might not be worth worrying about for now.

I'd also look into crafting bracers and just buying a VW. I like VW for SNS, crafted for Archon. If you feel comfortable dropping the vit on your shoulders, then you can probably get 250 int, 100-150str VWs for a couple mil. At least you can on the US AH, or could the last I looked. You can make up the vit loss on your new OH. You'll also gain some life with IC if you go that route.

you can bypass a captcha on a website because its implementation is much more "reachable". As the articale states is was using a glitch in the sessionID generation. Accessing your diablo3 login sessionnn would require you to manipulate your memory instead of pressing f12 and use chrome tools.

It's Diablo, not a roguelike, and I don't ever want it to be some kind of hipster indie game clone. The solution should be dungeon content quality, not quantity.

Honestly if you don't expect to run Ubers I'd just stay at 2.5 APS, especially if you were somewhat used to running with lower APS. The freeze strength is still pretty good and it's a lot easier to stack DPS and EHP at 2.5 APS as opposed to 2.73 APS. For Ubers you could just use an IAS Chanto to hit 2.73.

Quote from Loroese

Emmo explained it as well as I could have myself. 10% increase in WW tics and ~10-20% increase in number of twisters out, plus extra EB and DS procs, leads to around 33% increase in LoH returns. From the plot you can see there's a smaller jump at the 2.73 breakpoint. Some people prefer that breakpoint for the increased survivability but it's not quite as drastic a jump as the 2.5 breakpoint, which is why I recommend at least 2.5 APS.

Obviously Loroese himself should give you the elaborate answer and a "clear explanation", but in the meantime... if you're not afraid of maths take a look at this post where he ran some simulations that shed light on the APS/LoH maths and other stuff: http://www.diablofan...n/#entry1055952

I'd aim for the 2.5 breakpoint. The LoH returns are about 33% greater than the breakpoint below it, so it's a lot better for game play.

Quote from Loroese

I figure most of the people using the guide are in low to medium budgets so they're mostly in need off mitigation stats like AR and armor.

Please make sure to also visit the wizard forum for builds and gearing advices, almost everything you need is there.

for instance i would change the mempo with a good andariel, the dps is far bigger just search for one with under 10% fire dmg take.

As my personal advice, firstly i would change the chest you can find far better instead of tyrael and you don't need the movement speed on chest since a low roll inna pants are still a great dps improve and also give movement speed.

finally, instead of the skorn, i personally preffer 1h with source, the 9-10 crit chance on offhand is a bliss, and you can find 950+ dps weps with life steal and socket quite cheap.

oh i forgot, if you want add me at: zorgmeister#2199 EU server, i'll give you 5-8 mils or if you want i can buy 5-8 mils items worth and give you, no charge for that
