So I just recently leveled my wizard up to 70 and finished through Reaper of Souls. I'd like to try out the endgame content such as rifts, but I am not inclined toward tournament or cooperative play. I like to be casual.

My current build is a convergnce disintegrate / surge of power elecrtocute / supermassive black hole / power of the storm storm armor/ arcanot familiar / force weapon magical weapon, which I know is not optimal for rifts, if my greater than average fail rate for timed events is any indication, but it got me through hard difficulty with only one death, and that was because I wasn't paying attention.

I was considering Tal Rasha meteor but I've seen mixed reviews. While I'm not looking for complete brain-dead, I do need to keep the complexity down as my coordination is for felgerkarb so limiting myself to fewer button pressses is a good thing. I understand that getting to greater rifts 150 is probably unlikely with my casual solo play, but I'd like to get as close as possible without having to worry about having to reset everything in 3 months... or however long a season is.

I am not an active member in the community, so I request that acronyms (LoD, CoD, ComSecMilNavPac) be kept to a minimm, or at least type it out full the first time and label it so I know what your talking about.

P.S. 100 points if you get the ComSecMilNavPac reference.

Hi all,

I am a new player to D3 trying to push GR150... I've been binge playing for about a week, currently at GR125 (paragon 1000). It's been tough pushing the higher GR! Here goes with my long winded question:

This is the setup I am using:

https://www.icy-veins.com/d3/wizard-firebird-flame-blades-build

Essentially it is the full ancient firebird's build, with focus and restraint for the rings (+Gog of Swiftness,, +bane of trapped, +bane of stricken) ... but as you may or may not be aware, the firebird's set proc is for 6 pieces, but there are 7 available pieces...

The one they elected to leave out was the off hand... Firebird's eye. So instead I'm using the ethereal dagger (wizardspike; 3 explosive blasts and blur effect), and a really nice roll orb of infinite depth (+500dmg, +1000int, +1000VIT, +9.5% crit chance)

Everything is basically ancient and I'm pushing currently to ancient augment all the gear items slowly.

In my quest to finish my altar, I have come across an ancient primal firebird's eye offhand... as you can see it's not built into this build.

Does anyone think there is any merit in keeping the ancient primal firebird's eye off hand and perhaps adding in a different ancient legendary in another slot like shoulder/leg/chest/head/hands/feet slot?

Apologies if this question is too into the weeds, but it has been a grind and any help I can get is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Having a hard time getting level 25 whisper of atonement gem. I’m running tal rasha’s meteor set, 900 paragon. Can any one suggest a method that will help?I mean level 125 gem.

If I have one item equiped and same one cubed,will the item have double the effect?

Trying to get 1300 blood shards to advance the altar. Got 1280 at level GR79 but can’t get any higher! Keep getting killed. Any help would be appreciated

Hi I’m looking for someone to play with , upgrade the paragon lvl find some set, Provokedsilver is my name tag if you want to play

I am lv41 and have had a lot of fun but I don’t know what loot to be using and what to be salvaging, am I meant to be aiming for specific effects or whatever is strongest. I also don’t really understand the plus, sword and shield icons, are they relevant to my stats or are they just power measurements. If anybody knows anything about this kind of stuff, please let me know.

I finished the game twice now and both times it throws me back into the middle of the game. How do I fix this?

Help with Build - Wizard

So I have been wondering why I am easily killed even with my build or maybe cause I just don't know how to play? I tried D3Planner but I am not sure how to use it. I already placed my build (https://maxroll.gg/d3/d3planner/179479120) or maybe should try another?

Hey everyone best wishes just a quick question about convention of elements

I don't understand how people know which element is activated for a bonus

So my question is when you're using it how do you know when the element you've built around is active?

I'm at 121 solo GR and a thoughtfully used CoE could maybe bring me further.

It's always struck me as curious how folks know so precisely well when to unleash their attacks using it.

I've thought maybe a stop watch to use, and if - say - what I want is 3rd in the rotation I'll know.

Any suggestions guys?

Take care everyone!

Hello,

Is anyone interested in playing some non season together on PlayStation? I have a few min/maxed wizards and a monk. Let me know if you’re interested!

Does Firebird's Finery scale with Disintegrate +% damage or attack +% damage or both? The text on the set implies that the Ignite buff's damage integer is set by the Disintegrate hit and the 6-piece damage proc is based on the Ignite tick damage multiplied by the Combustion stack; the hit itself doesn't affect the proc damage. Based on that, I'd read it that scaling Disintegrate scales the 6-piece proc hit, but not scaling the hit that triggers the proc.

Diablo 3: Compilation of Season 30 top-tier Greater Rift 150 runs, each completed in under 6 minutes using the Firebird set. A top 10 leaderboard position at the time of this video is anything under 7 minutes. My current position is rank 6 at 4 minutes and 43 seconds.

D3 Solo Wiz S30 - GR150 Cleared in 4 minutes 43 seconds using Firebird set. I was trying out a different setup using Entropy rune for Disintegrate instead of Chaos Nexus. I also used Shard of Hatred (instead of Sliver of Terror) for the 100% damage combined with Familiar with Sparkflint (instead of Prism) and Dominance (instead of Elemental Exposure) to make up for the lack of Prism.

I speculated that while Firebird set specifically says pets cannot proc the combustion stack damage bonus, it seems if you manually cast Familiar, the 1st hit seems to trigger it. I haven't done extensive testing but the damage output from this specific setup seems to be higher than the current meta build. Try it out and let me know in the comments I am curious if others notice anything.

Ich habe einen legendären Seelensplitter gefunden auf dem rang 17 ist das normal oder aber auch was ist das für eine Chance

Ik this is probably a long shot but does anyone have any xtra God-like armor nd w3ap0n5 they would be willing to get rid of or could dupe along with sum rift keys?

currently playing on xbox 360 wizard lvl 40. act 1- nightmare (master II) . equipping jewels confuses tf outta me

Solo Self Found S29.

Gear: https://i.redd.it/gwbl3y0xumtb1.png

Cubed: Envious Blade, Gloves of Worship, RORG.

Crit Chance 36, Crit Dmg 251.

Legendary Gems: Bane o.t. Powerful R14, Bane o.t. Stricken, Boon o.t. Hoarder socketed now. Also have LoD, Enforcer. I'm guessing I should farm DBs and get better Rings but that's not fun I think I'll farm goblins for pets instead.

Follower: Enchantress with Thunderfury, Nemesis bracer, Sage's set, and the all-skills focus.

Problem: I got my S29 Haedrig's Gift twice on a Barbarian first so no complete set but weirdly got Firebird's 4-piece and Tal Rasha's 2-piece to work insanely well with Guardian's 3-piece lol. Currently running T7 and there's no danger whatsoever, I just stand still and don't take damage but it takes a while to kill things. I rarely run out of mana. Slowly working on Slayer for S29 but not much fun there. Sick and tired of the Enmity portals popping up but I guess that's where the loot is. Also, do I even need to pick up Rare items anymore?

Solution: ?

As per https://teambrg.com/diablo-3/d3-fresh-level-70-wizard/ I should be doing GRs to level three gems to L25. That doesn't seem fun but ok. Got tons of keys.

Playing SSF on console.

I have been playing the speed comet build from maxroll to gather gear, almost exclusively. I can do GR90s in under 3 minutes. Now I'm ready to try to push. When I put on the recommended gear, my base damage is only about half of my speed build?!?! Is that how it should be? There's nothing special about my speed build except I have a primal off hand.

Using Vizier, cubed smoldering core.

I have all of the same gear in both sets that maxroll recommends. Same augment on each of my 2 builds, just shoulders. Probably more legendaries overall on the push set then the speed one. Primal CoE on both.

Seems wrong. Wanted to ask before I start.

(Yes I know firebird Twister is better on console. Going to try that later.)

Mempo of Twilight is the one for me.

I’m paragon 600.. I have spent tens of thousands of blood shards, tens of thousands of each material on upgrading rare helmets and noooothing.

28 was great, the altar of Rites kept me coming back for more and I played more in the last 6 months than I had in the last few years. But, IMO, season 29 is a big let down.

complete chapter 1 and you get.... Nothing

complete chapter 2 and you get two (count them.....one, two) pieces of firebirds set.

It kinda feels like this is a big FU from Blizzard for not playing Diablo 4.

Anyway, just a rant..... but I am interested to see if it's just me, or anyone else feels the same

​

While I try to stock up gear / gain Paragon points / etc, I am temporarily playing flame blades with explosive blast, spectral blades. I can speed run 80s and I have the full set recommended by maxroll, but I keep losing arcane power. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi guys, I made a build last season that was involved arcane torrent auto casting as you ran through a rift. Super speedy build but I can’t remember what set it was using. Any help appreciated.ta

Rolled leorics helm AND the ring from Kadala but completely struck out on a legendary power for the cube and reducing the level on my level 70 weapon (only got -5). Any advice? At level 7 currently while I decide what to do next. Thinking of waiting until Monday's challenge rift to try again. Or will I get enough mats from the VoE while leveling??!?

Raxx says gamble for helm and then rings, for leorics. Another thing I saw says gamble for a source. Raxx is correct, right? What's the thought process on a source right away? (I haven't played wizard in about 4 seasons).
