    posted a message on Noobie CM Wiz lf help for upgrades
    get a cheap blackthornes jousting mail for the LOH, you'll find as a CM when you stack LOH you will die far far less to those nasty elite packs with even nastier skill combo's, as your APS goes up the LOH you have gains from it heavily,

    I used to only have 350 loh from black thornes, that was fine for mp3 - 4. but after that i needed alot more to offset the damage i was taking. Currently i have 1450, that gets me through mp10 ubers :D

    Quote from Phrensta

    MF is definitely worth the investment. Not to mention MF gear is cheap as now as everyone is offloading it as they paragon level.

    http://us.battle.net...534/hero/768431

    That's mf MF crit storm wiz.

    80% of the items are bought off the AH, the orb was the most expensive at 135m.

    The point being I found enough gear I didn't want, to sell and buy things I did want. Without the MF on my items I doubt I would have found the same level of gear that I have been selling. For example, in one day I found both, Litany of the undaunted and wailing host with good rolls. 60 and 70m respectively. That bought me my Zunnimassa gear.

    nice, you should definetly get some zuni boots to go with the rest!

    yeah I thought about it, but then I wasn't entirely sold on the 3rd zunni bonus of 55 all res. it would take my res from 79 - 80% reduction. so 1%, which you'd hardly notice, maybe an extra 40 intel since zunni boots are around 190 int typically.

    But i'd lose the MF.


    Saving for a new wand, hopefully get something similar to what i have now but with 900dps and some INT instead of dex :D

    Yeah man, drop rates are totally fine.

    Taking bids, Closest item on AH is 200 million but only has 6 % crit.

    Starting bid 200 mil


    No oone with any brains is going to pay 200m for that. It's worth sub 100. Like 70 - 80


    I bought mine for 100m, with the following stats which are superior to yours.

    Int - 251
    vit- 89
    life regen - 350
    crit damage - 53
    crit chance - 8

    I did it to my boots, I still don't understand how they got to be in my stash and i wound up wearing junk.

    170 intel
    80 vit
    12 MS
    19% MF
    60 all res

    I still don't have boots that are as good, close, but not quite..

    posted a message on INSANE legendary drop rate?!
    bout 10 so far, found both set rings (Wailing Host + Litany of Undaunted)

    The rest have been weapons, like windforce, polearms swords, waiting to find some legendary armor tbh,.. But i get a legendary every second run of act III

    paragon 17, 331 MF with 5 stacks.


    Our last act III run, every single person picked up a legendary. 3 players. Seems like a retarded drop rate to me.. The Ah is choked with good quality items right now, if this keeps up prices will plumet pretty quickly i'd imagine.

    Storm chaser has me on full AP 100% of the time, 17 AP on crit, 39% crit chance. It's interesting they nerfed one proc and left the other, probably an oversight.

    posted a message on Post 1.0.4 builds
    Funnily enough all i did to my Wicked Wind build was swap my 100% crit gem out for a 600 LOH on the wand. Suddenly my nerfed wicked wind is nearly as strong as it was before.

    Old stats
    - 64k dps
    - 901 loh
    - 300% crit damage


    New stats

    52k dps
    1501 LOH
    200% crit damage


    The loh is much better then the extra dps in all aspects now for this build.

    posted a message on wtf, Paragon level 24 already!
    Quote from dizzum

    That's not even possible... it has to be a bot though.


    Paragon level 1-6 is more XP required than 1-60 in total.

    Paragon level 99-100 is the same as doing 1-60 6 times.

    You're talking 10,454,400,000+ XP for 1-100. With 75% NV buff, it would take 1,327,543 mlvl 63 Monsters from 0 to 100. Assuming you killed 1 mob per second, every second, none stop, it would take you 15 days of non stop killing. Obviously that's not possible, so if we assume 1 kill per 3 seconds, that's 45 days of doing it 24/7.

    1 week is literally impossible. 2 weeks is also effectively impossible.
    If bots are doing this 24/7, it'll be a month and a half.

    just another exploited system...

    That is kinda funny that you can double up on the set bonuses that way. Wonder if the powers that be know about it.

    I like the build though, now you just need the two hander with 25% fire damage and the Mage fists with 20% :)

    41.5% crit chance, 900 loh, 300% crit damage - WW

    Works pretty good, you die a lot more because it's harder to start a crit roll. You also need to not button mash like you did before, as AP regen is far slower, so you need to time your skills better to not AP starve yourself.

    I have 17 Ap on crit, would be far nicer with a helm for AP regen, but haven't gotten around to that yet.


    TL;DR: Still works, just have to play it much smarter.

    It's more a case of it used to, and now doesn't. The orb would explode and you would see 'snared' come up, and that was pretty much every orb.
    Did you happen to use Temporal Flux?

    "Snared" would never come up when you had the high crit stun. You had Temporal Flux doing that.


    Yeah sorry my bad, snared only appears when you have Temporal as a passive.

    That being said, using temporal or not has no effect on the stun, or lack there of

    Quote from Zergie

    Yep same for me, no reaction at all from a 330k crit.
    It's either a bug or part of the many resistances Inferno elites have against CCs (in case you didn't know, snares, stuns and freeze all have reduced effect against Inferno elites as well). My money is on that it's a bug, since there's no reason for this not to work if you can deal insane amounts of damage to them anyway - by no means a cheese strat.

    That is a real shame, they remove it and don't say anything at all about it. With the incoming CMWW nerf, I think i will be selling up my wiz gear in favor of a Whirlwind barb. I really don't want to go back to off screen kiting >:(

    Also someone should re-post this on battlenet, someone who isn't me :)
