I know there are 90% barbs here, but I hope there are still some wiz around, even after 3 nerf patchs in a row.

Well... Twisters aren't working here anymore, not even wicked wind. So I decided to do some tests while looking to that Wiz Proc Ratio thread and patch notes.
I ended up with Shock Pulse(67% proc and no AP wasting) instead of Twisters(13% proc) and changed Energy Armor rune to Pinpoint Barrier for 5% extra crit.

So far so good, bot always has AP for spamming, CM procing is much better now and damage remained the same before patch and much more compared to 1.0.5 WW/CM build.

And you guys whats your build now? Still the same?

No, I've been testing Explosive and Fire, because it has higher procs.

Code: 
Shock pulse
Rune 0 : 0.667 [2/3] per bolt
Rune 1 - Explosive Bolts : 0.500 [1/2] per bolt - explosion : 0.500 [1/2]
Rune 2 - Fire Bolts : 0.667 [2/3] per bolt
Rune 3 - Piercing Orb : 0.500 [1/2]
Rune 4 - Lightning Affinity : 0.667 [2/3] per bolt
Rune 5 - Living Lightning : 0.200 [1/5] per charged bold
 
Running a lot of wizards as for me it's the best farming class > using Archon build with Forked lighting familiar Magic weapon Prismatic armor and diamond skin 24 ms and a lot of dps 120-170 on them

Could you list all skills with passives? Thanks!
 
Running my wiz in MP1 now after patch 1.05, using Diamond Skin, Archon in CM.
I have around 45% crit and 80k dps...went from 2-4 deaths per hour to 25 with the same profile in Act 1.
So pissed off....Wiz is dead folks
 
I'm still running CM, still seems to out perform my barbs... Have only had about 12 hours to test, so will have to see how they hold up. I haven't really had any problems with AP or cooldowns...


Diamond
Nova
Exp Blast
Energy Armor
Spec Blade
Storm Chaser


I have never tried Archon, and don't really plan to.. CM has always been too good to pass up for me.

How much crit chance do you have?
Here, things just doesnt proc anymore, they nerfed Storm Chaser from 50% proc to 13% :/
 
Yeah I know they nerfed everything pretty hard.. still works though. I have 45%+ crit on my wizards. Interested to see what builds everyone is using after the patch, since this build was obviously better prepatch. I am still happy with it though.
 
Are you on mp0 ? Here Storm Chaser does great on mp0 and only.

I have 50% crit, 100k dmg, 40k hp, 700 all resist pure.
Prepatch storm chaser bot did entire act 2 with no deaths, now it die like 20x per run.
And with that build I posted it dies 5x per run.

Here's my build, running 2pc Tal's set is +3% fire skill damage (shock pulse); the shock armor also helps with archon +second duration on kill & cm; Once teleport is effective during Archon (as a way to escape i.e. go-to avoidance since the Archon abilities are effected by CM), I'll drop the improved archon for that. I do around 93k dps buffed, and when not in Archon shock pulse rapes anything not-elite.

I also don't put anything into LoH or lifesteal, because frankly it's impossible to get enough loh/ls on a wizard and maintain a solid bit of DPS - I'll probably get 2pc blackthornes (neck+legs) for ~800-900 loh, but even that's halved because we're wizards. I prefer my bot just go in, do as much damage as possible, die - run back, clean up and keep moving forward (Helps that I have really smart death handling for my profiles).

Mine running mp 1 act3 at 0/death hour, 100k dps, 30% block, 50khp, 50% crit 2%ias armor 6k allres 800 500loh.

The only problem is that she tends to get ouf of mana so I just got a orb to replace the shield with + mana on crit and got 150k dps... still at 0 deaths.
Shes running the common crit mass build.

why are you using familiar instead of using magic weapon ?

Because, the Familiar also attacks doing 20% of your weapon damage which it attacks anytime you attack. Secondly, 12% dps buff as opposed to 15% w/ magic weapon. Familiar is more damage.

Also, here's a build that's working decently on my wizard atm.

hi

i want to share my build with you guys, this is working fine for me, about 1 / 5 dph

i have an 4pc set tal rasha's and 2 pc zunimassa

only thing what i did was change in the trinity.cs file the distance the electrocute was activated ( 12f to 40f ) and the meteor so it would not cast it all the time ( (iElitesWithinRange[RANGE_25] > 0 || iAnythingWithinRange[RANGE_25] > 5 ||)

NIce gear dude ) Im running 150k + dps wizards without shield up to 250k . The strongest is farming mp3 if i get nice weapong with Ls i'll swap to mp 4 as my friends does) The rest farm mp 1-2, should be pretty eazy . Having like 1-3 deathes per hour considering that giles plugin doesnt pick up like 1-3% of all items -rerunning some more times is even good (saw when bot picked up after death some stuff even legendary). I've been watching my bots a lot since Im trading a lot on the auction right now. Im using build which is pretty old and still very effective when u are having decent stats like 65 k + hp + all res 700 lifeleach weapong dps 140k+ ms 12 +: Archon (rune improved if you run azmodan ) Spark Lightning as signature spell, familiar 12 % dps , Prismatic armor , Forced weapon, Diamond skin . And you gtg with 15-20 63 ilvl per hour 100 + items picked up (rares) for an hour .

Still, it hits more enemies at once, don't consume AP, and you can be sure you will hit stuff.
I have 1.6 Hit/sec with no APoC, this makes Shock Pulse much better than tornadoes and also I can get better gear with less gold, because I don't need APoC neither Max AP.

It just depends on your gear.
