[Build] The Blast Chiller Wizard

[Tinnvec]

This is my CM Wiz Variant, it's pretty fun if you want to try something different.

I was playing around with the idea of this build before, but once 1.07 came out, the buffs to wiz skills made it viable.

Explained:
This build is focused around keeping your enemies cold and letting your timed skills like Blizzard and Explosive Blast steadily kill with enhanced damage from Cold Blooded.

Spectral Blade - Healing Blades: Between explosions and raining ice shards, this helps keep your health up and energy flowing.
Blizzard - Unrelenting Storm: Buffed up in 1.07, this is now quite a formidable weapon and a great way to chill mobs from afar while knocking down their health before they approach.
Frost Nova - Deep Freeze: More crit? Yes please
Diamond Skin - Crystal Shell: Great shield, looks like your'e covered in ice. Cool.
Ice Armor - Ice Reflect: Any monsters foolish enough to attack get frozen and can help cast frost novas
Explosive Blast - Chain Reaction: Great damage and with monsters chilled, its easier to catch them in packs and utilize the cold blooded passive

Blur: Yay, less damage
Cold Blooded: Must have for this build obviously
Critical Mass: With some crit gear we can be casting explosions and novas all the time

Gear
Here's the way I go about gearing, I use what I have first from other botting, then fill in any gaps/craps with GAH items as I can afford, then replace as I find better.
So here's My current gear:

Head: Tal's Helm + Radiant Star Amethyst (pretty high in plvl now so no real need for ruby anymore)
Shoulders: Vial Ward with Int
Amulet: Tal's Amulet with Cold focus
Chest: Tal's Chest + 3x Radiant Star Topaz
Gloves: Rares with Crit chance, crit damage, int
Belt: Witching Hour
Bracers: Lacuni with int and crit chance
Ring 1: Zuni's
Ring 2: Unity
Pants: Depth Diggers (no sockets, haven't really found anything better but she's doing fine)
Feet: Zuni
Weapon: Chantodo's (again, no socket till I find better)
Offhand: Chantodo's (again, no socket till I find better)

Sheet dps unbuffed: 181k; with frost nova crit buff: 215k

Try it out, let me know what you think, loot or die!

How much does it cost? 1 witching hour is about 8kk.

The current gear I have on should not be taken as representative of starting or "budget" gear. The vast majority of what she has on now, she found so it's hard to put a price on the gear build as it stands.
You could (more than likely) gear one up to run MP0 at 1-3 deaths per hour for well under 50M gold.

Heh took me a little thinking to figure out what APoC (Arcane Power on Crit) and AR (Arcane Regen) were heh, but they are 9 and 10 respectively.
As for xp/h, I just reset my stats so only have about 2.5 hours to draw from but so far its hanging around 21.5M running Tinnkaizer 0.8 (I eat my own dog food). Keep in mind, I have no bonus experience what so ever apart from NV stacks.

AH! that makes sense too lmao. All res is at 563, never a problem for WD/Wiz due to int
