1.04 CM/Melee/Tank/LoH Wiz Nerf = GG

Patch 1.0.4 Preview: Wizard - Diablo III

Blizzard wants you Wizards to stay at range and spam Hydras instead or get 100% crit chance gear. Proc Rates/Coefficients nerfed by 50%, so goes LoH.

This just sucks so bad. I am not going back to blizzard/hydra. Never again. My wiz bot is dead. I might move onto another game now.
 
I don't see we gonna see a big diffrence over 30% crit , my wiz has 100 ap all the time anyways
 
So what the mobs can't even touch u , all we need is a decent behaviour to perma frost nova them

Energy Twister is having it's proc coefficient halved, other coefficients remain the same. Melee wizard builds are not entirely based around energy twister.

You're just full of the joys of spring aren't you.

I can say with ease Explosive blast gives alot of AP maybe more than twister , even with the nerf all u're gonna have to do is increase your LoH even though it might not be needed cus elites get nerfed and certain affixes get nerfed too , not to mention invurnable minions are gone.

yea but thats not why they are nerfing it, read it. It is to do with crit mass and resetting the cooldowns. Less hits = less crits = longer que to reset the cool downs, unless you up your crit chance. AP regen is not a problem and probably wont be, but its the fact you might not be able to be using diamond skin and frost nova as often. Thats the intention of the nerf, not to slow AP regen.
 
I see, let's see about new legendaries , maybe something will make up for it , but i think we will be able to do act3 after the elite nerfs, the only reason wizs die at act2 is because of too many mobs, now that skull cleavers etc is getting nerfed and they are mostly meele in act3 CM wizzy might rock there
 
I think Melee wiz builds are going to stay viable. You get a lot of crits (and lowered CD's via CM) from meteors or from Spectral blades(deepcuts) it's the purely Wicked Wind centric variants that are getting nerfed.

Also we have no idea what Blizz is going to do to mob health/dmg and if champ packs are nerfed a bit and trash is buffed a bit then it'll probably even out.

There will be an optimal melee Wiz build after 1.04 it just might look a bit different to how it does now.
