Wizard Archon suggestion

[triccuz]

Hi all,

since Archon rune has been changed (22% more dmg upon killing a monster instead of adding +1 sec. to the duration) it would be very useful to add an option to let Wizard use Archon spell only when facing elites/champions (and/or cursed chests after x seconds) and to not waste it randomly.

I apologize if I created this thread in the wrong section.

I have a WORK AROUND for this. Just like WOTB for Barbs, Wiz does need the option for Archon on elites. Equally important is the option to prioritize elites while Archon buff is active.

The work around is simple to do, D:\DB Main\DemonbuddyBETA 1.1.1686.343\Plugins\Trinity\Combat\Abilities edit the wizard file, search "Wizard_ShouldStartArchon" and change

return (TargetUtil.AnyElitesInRange(30, 1) || TargetUtil.AnyMobsInRange(15, 30) ||

So as you can see, I deleted the variable call and input the number instead. By setting anymobsinrange to 15 it basically never will use archon on trash unless you are seriously surrounded. You can set it higher if you want. 30 is the range and I like it at 30. The only issue I still have is that it will kill trash while in archon instead of the champion/elites unless it randomly decides to kill the elite/champ.

^ This would be Amazing With the use of the 1 skill on mobs/Elite at close range

If anyone can suggest a good archon / spectral blade configuration / setup for mobs /distance please point me in the right direction =)

Is it possible to make it such that the wizard does not kite in Archon form but instead just focuses down the boss?

^ this and maybe one better like the option to focus the champ after XX amount of seconds so you have the chance to get some stack on Improved archon before focusing him down. a slider choosing the amount of time would be ideal i guess but if archon is 20s long make it focus the champ after 8-10? sec
