Currently Im on floor 254
I can kinda rush through floors with the current build but I feel like it needs improves. I dont know how should I build this mage but I like these skills I use. With manashield always active Im just walking through everything and storm kills almost everything. What should be the next step?
New profile I cant upload more than one media so in comments I leave the build
For starters, most builds want +4 all sets and 5/6 different sets. You also want your gear to be the same element as you main damage source, so change your gear (especially your ring) to electric.
Since you use only 1 archmage talent, remove the “all archmage” affix, put Empower instead if you really want, or just another affix.
Upgrade your Pet to have 6 orange affixes. For that, use Kyanite on a yellow affix, then use Angelite. Rinse and repeat.
Your build seems to be unmodified legend items, you won’t go very far with that.
@szokkker Welcome, sir!
this is a decent beginners build.
soon you will need to decide which is more important, ManaShield or the other Skills. ManaShield is a defensive skill that also does damage to enemies.
on the defensive side, Barrier and Infusion Talents are your friend. Barrier reduces the Mana lost when ManaShield gets hit while Infusion lets you use All Resist as a Damage Reduction to ManaShield, and it multiplies the All Resist used by MS.
Legend Reflect DMG doesn not normally stack with ManaShield. when MS is active, enemies take reflect DMG from it. when you are out of Mana, any damage your Wizard takes comes from the Legend Reflect DMG, until you get your Mana replaced.
a great way to improve DMG from ManaShield and Legend Reflect DMG is to find an Item with Electrified Set. two of the benefits of this Set is 1) increase any Reflect DMG by +50% per Rank and 2) Reflect DMG is a 25 yard AoE centered on the Wizard. the third benefit is +5% Paralyze per Rank for Shock Weapons.
one downside to using any Reflect DMG is that they don’t cause Elemental Critical.
change the MirrorImage Procs to something else. Attack Speed for better Barrage DPS, Crit Chance & Crit DMG for a chance for good spike DMG, Weaken for a chance to do Weaken DMG with all DMG (except for Crushing Blow or Crushing Flames).
more Dodge means your Manashield is less useful but Arc Dodge happens more often. less Dodge is the opposite.
as a Noobie, it might be better to just experiment with lots of different Legend Items and affixes. this way, when asking for advice, you’ll know if it helps with your build idea or not.
