Atm, I am trying to reach the first breakpoint of APS. It is, without doubt, very nice spec. I switched to MP3 from MP1 and I am not dying that much and dps seems ok. I mostly do Act2 Vaults and then go out to kill the keymaster.
I feel very dependent on teleport though. I use storm armor and I switched to Deep Freeze (maybe I should try Bone Chill). I also switched my MH and OH to Chanto set.
I might write here as I progress since I like to read the comments.
I have come back to D3 after many months (back then when inferno was really tough) wanting to take a break from WoW raiding and the commitment that goes with it.
I started reading (this is almost a new game with all these changes) and I am info overloaded at the moment so I write this to ask some things or let you make comments in general.
First thing I did was switching to US servers (I am EU player) since the EU auction house has outrageous prices. That meant starting from zero with zero funds etc. My first thought was to make a character as a starting point to collect money and items and then make the character I like most (wizard and WD as I am a caster type). I did make a WW barb farming some MP 4-5 and I really quickly got tiered of it. So I leveled a wizard. ( http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Rayaleith-1454/hero/36313437 )
I started with Archon (the long video a guy made about it was so good. Maybe the best video guide ever seen) at 60 and farming Mp1 was really easy (I was wearing a Tal Rasha helm for it with gem for XP boosting). But it required really specific places to farm in order to have high uptime of my archon (Field of misery) and I felt somewhat vulnerable sometimes. In general although I enjoyed and felt powerful at times (this beam really rapes) I really dislike to die (one of the reasons I prefer warlock to mage in WoW for the people that can understand). I know gear is not great but I stayed mostly to MP1. I did not die THAT much but I realized that I want to kill elites as well and not destroy whites only.
So I decided to try CMWW by only changing the head (limiting funds, remember?) in order to find out if I like it. I also read the excellent comprehensive guide at the stickies and fired up. Have to say that it not as powerful as archon but man... it really does the job very easily especially to elites. And my gear is really not optimized at all to this build.
Now, I will try this build but I really want to know some things.
Spec specific
1. In the guide you mention Chanto many times. I searched for it and although the background is black it says fire damage, So... I guess this is not a black weapon. I know that we want the other stats on it, but does it worth it to have a non-back weapon? Especially with the offhand that give so much elemental damage and the Zuni boots that is mentioned?
2.
General
1. Do you feel that it will get nerfed? Does it worth it the effort and gold it requires to be spent (and farmed since as a EU player I have no access to US RMAH if I wanted it to)?
2. Can it be my "starting point" for my migration instead of my WW barb? (it is not the place for barbs but in my link above you can check my barb as well)
3. I read in official forums about "melee" sorc (I prefer the D2 name ). Do you feel I should take a look there according to my style?
