    posted a message on Archon DPS and EHP recommedations vs MP
    Buffed: I run with 280 kDPS on MP8, no problem whatsoever to maintain Archon. ~570 kEHP (92.9% damage reduction) while in archon mode.

    Unbuffed: 230 kDPS / 286 kEHP (~85.9% mitigation, but the armor buffs very quickly to 89.5%, rendering ~384 kEHP).

    Saving some nasty packs (with speed, chains, dessecrator/molten and plagued), I don't die while out of Archon. Just for reference.

    You'd be surprised how many people really don't understand how stats work and what combination of stats they should combine to get the most out of their characters.

    I'm one. I got the right stats only after the Archon Set Contest, and after comparing each single item/status with my old set. Then some issues clicked to me, like the low survivability, low mitigation and low critical damage. The weapon was the most important one.

    And the build, you have to learn how to use it, and how to make yourself useful out-of-archon mode. That makes attack speed important in this matter, and in group play sometimes I drop out of archon mode so I can help on crowd control.

    @Bribous
    Maybe YOU dont need the video, and maybe the rest of us does not either, but I am 100% sure that almost all Archon players will learn something from this vid when its done..

    Sorry, it was not my intention to sound harsh or uneducated. I was intending to mock (on a good way) Jaetch for the "Soon" statement. And I already learned a lot from Jaetch and his Hybrid-Archon build. I've even said this on Jaetch's Archon Set Contest thread.

    He is obviously doing a lot for our Wizard/Archon community for free (as in free beer) that nobody have the right to complain about how long it takes, and I know it. :)

    Please accept my apology and let's not derail the thread. If anything was left without proper explanation, I'll be happy to exchange private messages with you.

    ^^ that's the magic of Proc Coefficients.

    Take a look here: http://us.battle.net...opic/7004036888 (I strongly suggest you to read)

    Channeling skills do constant damage, and Life Steal does not suffer from "proc-i-ties", so you gain constant life in return. It works well with Blizzard (if you do some damage) and all channeling as the above.

    Life Steal is also great with Archon, which is not the topic of this forum topic. :P

    You can find the Proc Coefficients for all classes/skills here: https://docs.google....ZJcHdkN0E#gid=8

    EDIT/Off Topic: Life On Hit versus Blizzard, an illustration:

    · Life gained from LoH = (Total LoH on gear)x(Proc Coefficient of skill used)
    If you have 1000 life on hit, and Blizzard's Proc Coefficient is 0.050, then you gain 50 life points per hit.

    What I don't know is how many hits Blizzard ticks during its cast.

    ^^ Same error here. I'm watching from Brazil, maybe youtube did not replicate the video across the world yet. Are you guys who live in the US able to watch it ?


    EDIT: I just watched it on a different network. Here I was able to watch the video by Net Virtua, but not from Oi Velox (different ISP's).

    It may be a routing problem or Youtube replication. :)

    EDIT2: The trailer is indeed very good. I think this will be THE guide. No pressure.

    EDIT3: Now I could watch the trailer from the first (problematic) ISP. It seems the replication has ended.

    Oh, I didn't see that your weapon is without Life Steal. This is a no-go for channeling builds like this one.

    Life Steal works better for Black Ice, Archon and Disintegrate builds than Life on Hit. Life on Hit works better for WW-based builds. In special because Black Ice does a lot of damage, and it can recover a ton of life.

    LS on Weapon + Magic Weapon with Blood Magic would improve your survival. More armor too. Should I suggest you to try Ice Armor / Crystallize for a while and see if you can survive a little more ?

    No gear advice from me, as I'm not an expert at all. But I think your weapon is a good one, and overall your gear could use a rework. Since you are not using a slow weapon, you must remain with the Stormcrow or a source with APoC, and, if you can, increase your critical hit chance, so APoC procs more often.

    I don't know, it has been so long that I'm not sure I need the video anymore...

    (runs away quickly before Aesthia send a lightining bolt on Bribous head and perma-kills he)... :P

    Keep in mind that CMWW Wizard will hurt your hand badly. Unless you use a macro, which is against the Terms of Service of the game.

    Barb would be more kind to your hands, what makes this sentence a little awkward.

    Loroese, would you be kind enough to post a video of the build on solo play for us ?

    I saw a "Death Blossom" build a week or so ago, and I thought it was interesting. It should be good to see both in comparison.

    EDIT: This one: http://www.diablofans.com/topic/92964-guide-chun-lis-starfighter-death-blossom-build/
