Wizards 2.1

What I did was take 1 DH and run through T4 with 3 wizards until I got a firebirds set. That was enough to run T4 easily with 4 wizards.

That's what I did with my Monks and Saders lol .... works pretty damn good ~

One thing to consider when building your 4 wiz's

The devastator - crafted mace with % fire dmg. It can be a very nice jump start before you have enough SK or furnance.

One other thing I have thrown in to have some fun - changed out one toons BH for twister. The twister gives a 15% buff to fire dmg and it starts on the target. For grifts I find it nice. Usually running in narrow corridors...so it kinda works. Just a thought.

I mixed in a Witch Doctor for the 4th slot, as I was getting frustrated with the lack of defense. It's odd if you add too much defense the screen lags. Not freeze, everything just stops moving. This is typically caused when 8+ Slow Time bubbles appear on the screen.

With a WD in the mix, everything is frozen in place and the pets help offset the initial barrage. Wiz dps btw is super high. Elites / Champions and even Rift Guardians drop quite fast.

I'd like to see how this scales in higher rift difficulty but for T6 it made it much smoother for me and less annoying deaths.

Totally agree with that...I use a petdoc all the time for exactly the same reason.

Going to try and make a video of this in action soon. The clear speed is hilarious. Damage reflect still gets me sometimes or a random projectile but overall having a WD in the mix is where it is at.
I'm actually wondering if I could use it for other combo's and be so much more effective.. worth a shot!
