CDR / LoH Wizard Equipment Setup
Posted: 07 Sep 2012, 15:43
I've been having trouble surviving A3 Inferno (first act to drop iLvl 63 items.) So I decided to drop some cash on a completely different build for my Wizard. A Cool-Down Reduction wizard build is created around the Passive skill "Critical Mass" (critical hits have a chance to reduce the cooldown on your spells by 1 sec.) In addition its become clear to me that stacking Resists isn't enough to survive later Inferno. Pretty much everyone is recommending Life on Hit (LoH) builds, so I'll jump on that bandwagon too.
My rough target is to get >25% crit from items, while spending 200k-400k on new items.
Since, not every item can have every stat (specifically LoH and +Crit are limited to a few items each with some overlap.) Also since, getting more than 3-4 "affixes" on a given item causes it price to jump rapidly. I will be planning the affixes needed for a given item slot (parentheses indicate "nice to haves"):
Gloves: Int, Crit, LoH, AttackSpeed
Bracers: Int, RA, Crit
Main Hand: DPS, Int, LoH, Socket
Amulet: Int, Crit, LoH, (DPS)
Ringx2: Int, RA, LoH/(Crit) {These are expensive with 4 affixes!)
Head: Int, Vit, RA, Socket
Shoulders: Int, Vit, RA
Chest: Int, Vit, RA, Sockets
Waist: Int, Vit, RA
Pants: Int, Vit, RA
Boots: Int, Vit, RA, MoveSpeed

There's a good chance there are errors in this chart, or that I missed something. Also, there are Unique items that contain bonuses in non-standard slots. If you see an error or know of a cheap unique item that could help improve this build.
