1) Attract all the mobs and get surrounded by them,
2) Cast Slow Time Time Warp (20% more DMG),
3) Cast Frost Nova Bone Chill (15% more DMG),
4) Cast Arcane Torrent Death Blossom (The only reason to get surrounded by Mobs is to take full advantage of this skill high dmg due to the fact that it can't be controlled),
5) Cast Diamond Skin Mirror Skin to get out of the crowd or Archon Arcane Destruction,
6) Start all over again...
Passives:
Blur
Unstable Anomaly
Temporal Flux
What you guys think about it?? Do you think it's viable??
Flaws:
- Considering that Arcane Torrent Death Blossom can't be controlled, this build doesn't have a high direct dmg. Thus, it would be weak against Bosses. Therefore, I thought about replacing Archon for any other direct high dmg skill.
- Maybe the dmg absorved by the Diamond Skin with the rune Mirror Skin is not enough (10853) so would be needed to change for Crystal Shell (21707)
Suggestions??
I don't know why but I have a feeling that this build may be interesting to play with!
Personally, I think you will find yourself taking way too much damage at later stages of the game, especially in Hell and Inferno. However, I havn't actually played through them, so I can't tell you for certain one way or the other. Definitely give it a shot, and more power to you if it works! Perhaps you can be a tank sorc?!

Yeah...It won't be my first build. That's for sure! Not knowing how bad hell and inferno will be turn this build only in an idea to be tested later.
I was just trying to create an alternative build then I came up with this and wanted some different opinions and criticism!
One thing is clear though, I will need a shield!Lol!
Lol! Most definitely will want a shield. XD

I would just take Arcane Orb - "Arcane Nova", it will make your build more reliable.
Spectral Blade - "Thrown Blade", I would assume by its name and the description that it means you can use it from upto 20 yards away but it still attacks in the same "Cone". Reason I bring this up is because you are talking about melee so was just wanting to make sure you understand how it most likely works.
You have Frost Nova & Slow Time & Temporal Flux, I think Teleport - "Fracture" would be better instead of Diamond Skin, gives you an escape while also spawning you 2 decoys.
Overall I like the build but I dont think you should have "Death Blossom" as your main source of damage, its more a niche kind of skill imo.

I guess you are right! The reason that I came up with this is because I kinda like the combo Slow Time + Frost Nova + Arcane Torrent with 670 dmg! And imo the only way to take full advantage of this Rune is if you are surrounded and don't need to aim.
I would throw away slow time for 20% damage and the frost nova and instead do Sparkflint and glass cannon, together they would give you round the clock damage, arcane destruction may do a lot of damage but Volatility would do almost the same amount of damage more frequently, though it is long range, (but then isn't death blossom too ?) You've already compromised, add volatility and your turn to the dark side will be complete

I was just messing around with the Skill Calculator and I came up with an idea of a short range Wizard.

Yeah, even with Blur + Diamond Skin this free 30% damage reduction to Barbs and Monks is not encouraging!

If he takes teleport, he should be able to deal with them
