[Wizard] what builds have you been using?

[TehVoyager]

Just curious as to what builds people have been using in different difficulty settings, and wanted to share the builds i use/used.

Early In Nightmare mode i was using Wizard - Game Guide - Diablo III
This build was nice due to the large amounts of damage buffs provided, plus having some Kiting ability due to Frost Nova and Teleport. Familliar was the Swap out skill to either Wave of Force with force affinity for more kiting, or Diamond skin for more survivability vs fast mobs.

Later in nightmare i started to use desintigrate with the Volatility rune. its beast against packs of mobs.

In hell i've been using Wizard - Game Guide - Diablo III
I swap the rune on Arcane orb to Celestial for Invincible mobs for convieience. i'm late into act 2 and this build is working wonderfully. my DPS is around 11k and my HP is around 24k.

In early inferno i plan to go to the following build:
Wizard - Game Guide - Diablo III

For fast mobs i will swap Wave of Force for Diamond skin and Glass Cannon for Illusionist.

"Y U NO MIRROR IMAGE / TELEPORT FRACTURE"

cause i dont like em. mabie if they changed the "LOL WE PORT YOU TO THE FRONT AND U DIE" crap.

(Normal mode i was using Wizard - Game Guide - Diablo III Just to show that normal is pretty cake. it honestly doesnt matter WHAT you do in normal. ^_^)

Tips:
- Get boots with IMS. 12% if you can, but dont shell out too much for IMS boots till you are almost 60. boots are the ONLY piece of gear you can get IMS on.
- Rings and Ammy's with +damage, +int and +IAS are great. i <3 them.
-L2 Kite. thats what we get to do in inferno mode apparently.


Questions:
- Does someone have a full, accurate Stat priority list for Inferno difficulty? i keep hearing conflicting information.

I guess it's attack speed> int > crit chance > crit dmg
but I'm no wizard
And I don't think rings with +damage are very useful on lvl 60

[mobikenobi]

intel > resist all > crit . everything else

[Aikeelu]

If you want to solo: 23~25% mov speed > attack speed till you get at least 2.5 atks per sec > int.

200-250 resist are enough imo, 30-40k hp enough too

I'm using this and I can solo almost everything, even act3-4

Mov speed is really, really useful to kite, there's some items that can help you to reach the cap ( 25% ) and they also have attack speed like:

Boj Anglers
Lacuni Prowlers
Unity
Hammer Jammers
Zunimassa's Journey

Btw im not sure if I can link streams here, but i learn a lot watching this guy and he's really helpful with everyone: StayAWhileAndListen

how can you possibly be getting 20+ % move speed when the only item that gives move speed are boots and they cap at like 15%

Actually there are amulets, rings, chests, bracers and pants that also increase movement speed. Take look at the items listed in the post you quoted.
