    If only

    you could use a skull grasp and a SOJ if you just want two class bonuses though

    skull grasp is kind of bad though, not really worth it

    just pointing out the option exists

    actually maybe for a cm wizard, since it has defensive stats and life on hit i guess...

    can it roll crit? maybe

    it can roll crit

    good luck getting one with the right class bonus and primary stat and crit though

    Not even getting it cheap, just getting it at all

    disintegrate too

    arcane torrent disruption is actually really effective with a 2H + lifesteal and arcane hydra

    it's what i used to kill diablo on my wizard around the time 1.04 hit

    but i don't really like the 'feel' of the skill

    The beauty of 1.0.5 is that you can totally do that, you just have to farm at a monster power that you're geared enough to kill shit quickly in.

    I was more making the joke that the theorycraft guy should make a heavily edited video to prove out his case.

    disruption/arcane hydra is basically the "fuck it, just blow everything up build" for dirt poor wizards

    it's like blizz/hydra for impatient people who don't mind never beating extra health or damage reflect packs ever

    wait what

    I agree with the latter but I don't follow the former. don't you need gear to make that work hence you couldn't possibly do it on the cheap?

    it melts act1/2 with like 30k DPS which is pretty affordable

  • NaphtaliNaphtali Hazy + Flow SeaRegistered User regular
    are we talking something like this build? maybe drop weapon for crystal skin

    I feel like at 30k dps you'll still get hosed by fast/jailer/mortar or other such high speed mobs in act 2

    drop illusionist for astral presence and if you have like 33% crit and 5-10 apoc you won't need MM at all because you can cast arcane torrent nonstop. then you can sub in crystal shell.

    also i used CM instead of temporal flux and just facetanked instead of kited. you don't get a lot of CM procs with arcane torrent but it is enough to survive acts 1/2 if you have some loh or lifesteal and acts 3/4 once you get decently geared

    I'd be surprised if you can get 33% crit and 5-10 apoc and lifesteal on a shoestring budget, which again goes back to my point

    You'd be surprised. Rares are literally dirt cheap and you can gear any character on shoestring budget.

    You can get a 1100 dps 2H with 6% lifesteal for 50k.

    You can get a cheap stormcrow for 500k for 10 apoc.

    Then you just need like 30% critical combined between amulet, 2 rings, gloves and bracer. I bet you can do that for 100k a piece.

    So like 1M total for the build?

    I don't know what prices are like on the AH now, but I was able to get about 30% crit and ~10-15 APoC for pretty cheap right when 1.04 came out.

    It wasn't perfect or anything but it moved me from act 2 to act 3.

    (and then I lucked out hard and found a set item on my first act 3 run which sold for 80 mil)

  • jwalkjwalk Registered User regular
    prices on the AH are,

    total bananas stats best in slot items - loadsa money

    everything else - naught

    arcane torrent is pretty easy to channel. the thing I don't like about it is it feels kind of awkward to cast since it's a small targeted aoe with a travel time

    actually it's a lot like a channeled meteor

  • Big Red TieBig Red Tie beautiful clydesdale style feet too hot to trotRegistered User regular
    except meteor turns on cm and torrent doesn't

    and torrent does less damage

    buff torrent plz

    torrent disintegrate and ray of frost all need adjustments to their coefficients and ap costs

  • Big Red TieBig Red Tie beautiful clydesdale style feet too hot to trotRegistered User regular
    yeah disintegrate with nexus for CM would be incredibly fun

    but that coefficient is nastay

    maybe, what's the dps?

    I'm using a 850 dps, 10 apoc, 40 CD + socket wand with no int

    depending on the base dps, it may be an upgrade
