Updates for 1.07 (ongoing): builds (Blizzard), stats (LS, LaK, XP), slots (helm, shoulders, chest, amulet, gloves, wrist, rings, weapon because of new crafting recipes, gems, and bonus XP changes) Obviously, there have been other people pursuing similar efforts and I would be a fool to not acknowledge them – I’ll link to them in the last section, and also try to cover questions that have been asked (and answered) previously on these forums or elsewhere.
For those who prefer TL DR version I’ll also have a list of items in the subsequent section without explanation. The main part consists of a list of all useful items (which will of course be growing as it’s difficult to make such a list ever “complete“) and explains for each item why and in which situations it will be helpful for your wizard. In this guide, I will first explain some of the basic terms and abbreviations that will be used later, introduce some of the main builds that are being played right now (because it makes a big difference for gearing up) and summarize some of the main points to consider when gearing up by categorizing stats into different types. However, it’s not up to date anymore and I think that this guide will turn out to be slightly different in terms of target audience and the way it reads furthermore, Jaetch told me that he put his project on hold for the time being. At this point, I need to mention that there is one outstanding guide about gearing already – Jaetch’s Massive Guide to Upgrading Wizard Gear.
#Stats diablo 3 sweep crusader 2.5 update#
There are many low budget guides, and many build guides, but none of the existing guides really helped to answer the general questions like “which slot should I update next”, “which helm should I buy”, and so on. Basically, I tried to cover all the answers given in many threads in one guide. Also, if you are any other class and you want to learn what items we wizards are interested in, section 5 might be interesting for you. So, for who is this guide useful? If you’re gearing up your wizard and you’re interested in learning for which items to look out for, which stats are important, then take a look. Now, a couple of months later, I thought it might be useful to create what I would have deemed to be helpful when I switched to my wizard as main. When I switched to my wizard, there were similar lists, but nothing really tailored to what I was looking for. Inspiration for this guide (or is it rather a list?) was actually the gear list in the barbarian guide – it was quite useful when I geared my barbarian up. I wanted to write this guide in quite a while. The updated, RoS version can be found here:ġ) Introduction Changelog 2) Terminology and builds Terminology Builds 3) Categories of stats Offensive Defensive Life recovery Other stats 4) List by slot Helm Shoulders Chest Amulet Gloves Belt Bracers Pants Boots Rings Orb Weapon 5) TL DR BiS list 6) Follower’s gear 7) Wizard FAQ I’m pretty sure I’ve seen something similar before… just where? How can I compare items/plan my character? What the hell is a “black weapon”? Why is this important? What is the maximum stat for item X on slot Y? What is the maximum possible DPS with all these BiS items? How can wizards deals with problems of Arcane Power shortage? All of this will probably be of zero value once RoS hits.
