Build Guide

An alternative to Zcrusader with diminished lag and more utility. For the Wizards who cant get into gr

Put your spoiler here.

oups this build is perfectly viable for high grs even up to GR 80 and speeds. Passive Conflagration will provide a 6% crit chance boost when using Sunder in Cube. Coldblooded will also provide 10% more damage boost with 10% more crit. This build will allow full use of Elemental exposures 20% damage boost. Blur is for survivability as well as unwavering presences as often u will be not moving to cast arcane torrent and proc the SC. The Highest priority though especially when engaging elites or multiple elites is the wizard focuses using black hole to eliminate Elite affixes IE (Orbiter/Pulse/Fire chains/Arcane/Molten/Plagued/Poison enchanted) doing this will allow a group to engage elites without worry as well as mitigate lag. Also Must keep slow time up upon the group for extra damage Mitigation, increased damage, and attack speed. Hope everyone enjoys this build and if you have any questions feel free to ask or give input. First Build guide ever.

Still underdevelopment for maximizing but this is a starter guide for Z wiz

This build was put together and theory Crafted between myself Muz/Aleging Tuna both good and confirmed Z dps wizards
