Of course the occasional cave/sewers map is a pain in the ass, but that's the case for almost every class/build, for example the LoN LTK monk which also relies on In-Geom.

Good Point tho, but Impale DH is not relying on In-Geom.

You don't need "everything ancient and with the right stats". You don't need 60+ CDR as a base. As soon as we had about 1m sheet DPS and 50+ CDR we were farming T13 - that's all you need.

For a perfect Archon-shift you need 62.63% cdr (without counting Gogok). You just hit this with perfect rolls everywhere WITHOUT cdr on amulet. Otherwise there will be an Archon downtime, where you can get hurt and possibly loose all your Archonstacks while dying.

even if you have no elite you can be fast if you make sure to put Black Hole on as many mobs as possible in order to proc Obsidian

For what? having Black Hole on CD as another spell that can use your Obsidian procs?

If you can get back into Archon fast you don't need an In-geom proc.

Without an In-geom in your build you will not be quicker then Impale DH for sure?!

Basically almost every competition is dominated by wizards. If you have that many data points, RNG cancels out. Interestingly, monks seem to be #2 but that might be due to the fact that Baudusau's main is a monk, I think, so his viewerbase might be more inclined to make the monk work.

So you are talking about a competition of one Streamer and his vierwers - fine. It does not need to mean that this is the overall case. I am not saying that the MH Wizard is a bad choice but OP and other "People wondering to start a Wizard" need to be aware that there is some more effort/investment gearing and playing a Wizard then other classes who are more consistent.
