Are you using cinder, magefist, soj and all of the fun stuff with EQ? I found it pretty strong with 3pc EQ and all % Fire / Elite.
Got the hook up with a INT magefist I can reroll, but no cinder or SoJ yet, need to get it done

What kind of builds are all you wizards running? Took an extended break to play a Crusader but going back to my main. Noticed there has been a few changes recently.

So just hit 70 on my WD and looking for some advice, have pretty shit gear, most of it is hand me downs from my Wizard until I can get actual WD stuff. Take a look at my profile. Ive literally done 1 T2 rift solo last night and it went ok, a little slow in the killing side for my liking, Looking for a good high dmg build to roll t6 with.

Anyone else notice that for whatever reason, that legendaries seem to drop in groups of types? Like when I get a set piece, I usually get multiples of set pieces. When Amulets drop, I will get 2-3 more to drop. The worst one, is when 2 handers will drop and keep dropping. I got both my nice amulet and my Hydra wand on days when multiples of each type were dropping for me. That whole Kadala trick that was dismissed, might not be as wrong as initially thought.

Today it was 2 handers and spears. I got 3 spears to drop almost back to back. They can just remove that weapon type as far as I am concerned.

This weekend, Smart Loot was on point for me. It was almost like a GM was watching over me going "here, you could use this".

Highlights include:
Two really high rolled trifecta Rings of Royal Grandeur
4 pieces of Zuni [Thanks Kherem for the piece]
Really high rolled int thunderfury
20% fire int SoJ
3 socket 30% reduction Cindercoat
Really high rolled Rhen'ho flayer
Almost perfect trifecta int mage fist [Thanks Murked]
A socket, 5.5 crit, 92% jaram
4 pieces of jade harvester
Every other witch doctor mask that can drop (All of them)

Edit - 137% Harringtons belt

Sucks that I have to use Zuni ring and RoRG for 4 piece bonus right now since I don't have the zuni chest...Gonna be sad to part with Cindercoat, but being able to use Big Dog Ring or SoJ will be worth it.

I'm one Tal piece away from 4pc Vyr and 4pc Tals at once. Going to piss me off all week until I get my last Tal piece, really want helm or belt (have chest and ammy). Thankfully the ammy rolled 99% critical dmg and also maxed CDR. Hopefully after everything, I should be around 60% CDR for short cool down Archon.
My amulet was crap except for getting 19% Arcane roll on it. The amulet I normally use is the one that gives 100% resist to Arcane dmg and gives me 21% back as health. It has an 8.5 crit % and 90% to crit damage.

It's a hard choice though because for my belt I have a Harrington Waistguard and boots I had Ice Climbers. I decided to try to get boots from Kadala and after about 2k shards she gave me Tal's. I'm going to work on a better Tal's amulet now so I can go back to my Ice Climbers.

It's annoying though that Amulets cost so many blood shards.

The army I got has no elemental % sadly. But it has high roll Crit dmg and cooldown reduction which will help me with the vyr set(archon). I'll eventually try to go back to my fire% neck if I get lucky with more tal pieces.

I got a shit ton of set loot from Kadala gambling this weekend but it took A LOT of shards. Basically played 8+ hours with Murked and others yesterday and Saturday for the shards to gamble.

Drops - Vyrs boots, EQ Helm, EQ Pants x2, IK Helm x3, IK Belt Gambles - JH Boots, Sader leg + shoulders + helm x2, EQ Shoulders

Got some weird 2h Flail also that spawns Phalax dudes when they die with it but I would imagine I need 6pc for it to be viable? Never seen it before and forgot the name.

Honestly, until you have a WoW or a Mirrorball and fire gear, it's usually best to run Arcane/Disintegrate as I believe it's your highest damaging spell.

One thing almost every class needs to do is run Malathel since the Reaper's Wrap recipe is now a 100% drop rate if you don't have the recipe. Then farm Reaper's Fear and make yourself some Reaper's Wraps until you get a good pair. It really helps with getting your mana back or keeping it up.

I ran Energy Armor, Magic Weapon, Archon, Teleport, Black Hole and Disintegrate before I got my 4pc set of both Tal's and Vyr's.

Now I run Familiar over Energy Armor to get the cold meteor and have Black Hole set on Blazar for the fire meteor.

I think they deliberately set their smart loot on Derp 85% for main hand weapons.

I could bury New Tristram under 80 feet of shit steel. (1) decent weapon in 240 hours of play.

Same goes for roll% on crit dmg/chance. Took me 25 times to roll crit damage on my amulet.
Sort of the opposite here. Since the buff the only luck I have had was with weapons. I got a 2400 dps Sever, a 2300dps Sledgefist with 47% stun, and a 2300 dps Fulminator (still no TF or SoH though, <sadface.jpg>) with hardly any armor drops at all until Saturday night where I got a crappy Inna's bp and an Inna's belt. Also, I am averaging 1 leg from Kadala per 2,500 shards. Not 1 *decent* leg from Kadala, 1 leg.

Also, why does my profile show the Sledgfist having 2174 dps when it shows 2300+ in-game? There is no attack speed mod on it...

It's usually best to run Arcane/Disintegrate
Also note, that unless they fixed it, Arcane Dynamo proc last the entire duration of Disintegrate.

Knockback and whatnot breaks it, but if you can build a five stack of Arcane Dynamo fast it's worth it.

Unless you have a lot of +fire gear stashed away I'd focus on something else. The ring can roll really bad and without stacking +fire gear it's hardly worth it. There is a lot of competition for ring slots between SoJ/RoRG/Set Rings, that unless the big dog ring is rolled really well, it's almost just a novelty.

Looking at your gear, probably 5 point gambles are better at this point, especially since you already have a SoJ. I'd go after gloves personally, you have a lot of options there for upgrades, tasker or frostburns be good, or if you want to go full fire going after some Magefist be a more productive start.

Big Dog ring is really great, but hard to break from SOJ and RRoG to run it. I guess as you get more set pieces, and just run full sets you can drop your RRoG? Dropping the SOJ means 30% elite, and 20% elemental loss? That's too huge.

I have 10 fingers, let me wear more rings!! hehe
