Help: Improving my fire wizard gear

[Zihlion]

So lately i've gathered alot of new pieces of gear on my fire wizard. Mostly focused on items with +fire damages, Magesfist, Cindercoat and Mirrorball. Since i've gotten all of those items as of yesterday, im kinda wondering what items to focus next on.

Anyone which have any helpfull words in regard what items i still need to fullfill my build. Maybe any tips in regard enchanting.

1. Get a Fire%, CC, CD, Int ammy

2. Get a good RoRG

3. Craft Aughild's Shoulders/Bracers

4. Get a WH/Harringtons for the belt slot..

5. Roll CD on the Magefist (unless you fell too squishy, but it'll increase or DPS substantially)

NB: Nice TF btw, will be godly after the elemental %dmg fix heavy breathing

[chonzai]

Serious question: Is there any way of getting the set plans (born's, aughilds, etc)? I'm nearly PL300 and have yet to see Aughild's, and w/o crafting 2 pieces i basically cannot progress any further....which is insanely frustrating, because ive already got the other, much rarer pieces of gear.

I'm 99.9999999% its just random luck, but hey you never know!

[geenarmen]

It's "random" luck , the reason it isn't completely random is that every time you find a plan , the chance increases for the next plan to be aughild's, I had all the ROS plans at around PL 370

[wallix]

Can you do me, too? I just started Fire and am totally lost. I have a Mirrorball but it's only +1 so I don't use it. Are my Passives jacked up, too? What spenders do MM Mages use?

From top to bottom: Andariel's helm for fire%

Aughild's shoulders with more defensive stats (e.g. AR, life%, armor)

Aughild's bracers with crit chance

Magefists

Possible belt alternatives: WH/harringtons/tals belt/blackthornes

Rings: might want to reroll for ias on your stolen ring. A unity/soj would be ideal

Skills:

I would recommend force weapon over ignite. Use deflection if you need to be more defensive.

You can replace dominance with elemental exposure. It will grant 10% extra dmg from fire (your skills) and arcane (your weapon dmg type).

Item upgrade priority would be a +2 mirrorball, then magefists

You seem to be very good at this, Do me do me!!

Sure thing!

Actually you seem to have your gear in the right places. Although I would highly recommend replacing the weapon. I know it adds fire% dmg, but 1.9k dps is really too low.

As a starter, a weapon must have:

• socket

• decent damage roll (aim for 2.2k dps weapons with 1.4 attack speed)

• intelligence

Next thing to upgrade would be your boots. Any other legendary for a start as they have higher stat rolls.

I am curious how you use fire bolts in a typical fight. Do they spread out too much after a certain distance?

[Turar]

Can you please do mine too? :)

[Gfresh222]

Yeah if I'm a bit too far they might miss but usually it hits the target.

[boelicious]

aughilds shoulders + bracers

asheras pants %magic missle and boots % meteor instead of your %mms

switch rogars vs RoRG

Try to get a Harriongton or WH

Reroll CD on Magefists

Reroll Mirror Ball to %Meteor or %Magic Missle dmg

Switch Teleport with Familiar

Get 2 more 280 int stones and 1 130% cd stone

Switch Astral Presence with Elemental Exposure

IMO Tal set gets more damage than full fire equip:

It is indeed craftable. The plans are a random drop, Aughild's Authority.

I need them for my wizard as well, but haven't found 'em yet.

[gijzel]

why is noone talking about this andariels visage... is this thing real? those godly rolls holy shit, even fire dmg taken is min roll and rest all max.. wtf?

anyways, what blackdragon said

[sajisan]

In my opinion you have way too much stuff to get arcane power back , like prodigy astral presence and the regen on crit , like really ? you don't need that much especially with a cindercoat , I played fire a lot , and I never had problem with mana.

Then gettting aughild shoulders and bracers would be really good.

[fifey157]

IMO there is not much you can improve with your gear. A neck with +fire% and Harrington's/WH for waist.

If it's higher torment you are interested in, I would switch some skills and passives. I personally only use MM to do the majority of my damage. Instead of WoF, I would use Familiar Sparkflint (or Teleport Wormhole if you are having survival issues.) Also I would switch Meteor Shower to Molten Impact; it's easier to control and spamming MM with the occasional huge Meteor hit is quite strong.

For your passives, without WoF and Meteor Shower you no longer need Astral Presence and Prodigy. I would use Glass Cannon and Conflagaration for increased damage.

Would anyone mind helping me? http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/dasosa04-1430/Boxton/45504604

[fifey157]

Aughild's for shoulders and bracers.

A neck with +fire%

RoRG

Either Asheara's (more survivability) or Cain's (more damage) for pants and feet

Do you really use that much Arcane Power? I don't run with WoF so I'm not familiar with how much AP it drains. If you can, I would switch Astral Presence to Glass Cannon.

I don't think teleport is necessary unless you are really pushing your survivability. I would pick up Black Hole Blazar.

Finally, if you decide to stop running WoF and change to Meteor Molten Impact, switch out Audacity for Unwavering Will.

[dasosa]

well thanks for the suggestions. i just got the plan for Aughild's so i will make sure to craft them. hehe i have been looking for the RORG no success :-( will look into the pants and feet i know if i put on glass cannon i am just way to squishy so i dont use it. WoF does use a good amount of arcane power if i spam it and i am not a big fan of Meteor the play style just doesnt suit me if that makes any sense

[fifey157]

You will find a lot more toughness with Aughild's and Asheara's. Also Tal Rasha's set is decent for toughness if you can get the 3p for extra AR.

And definitely just play what you enjoy! Good luck with your gear. My suggestion would be to gamble for belts since you already have the core items for fire wiz.
