In this chapter I’m going to show you exactly how to spec your wizard to be both powerful and survivable in Inferno mode. While there are certainly multiple ways to skin a cat, this is the build that I feel works the best for the most players.
I think one of my favorite things about the way Blizzard structured Diablo 3 is that there are numerous abilities in any build that be considered wild cards. That is to say, you can customize builds to your particular play-style without compromising the overal functionality of them. You’ll see some opportunities for that level of customization in the build below.
Let’s start by discussing a few of the pros and cons of this particular build.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Unquestionably the best AoE build for wizard
- VERY high survivability, and CC output.
- Can solo easily, but also provides massive utility to co-op play
- Very reliable
Cons
- Ranged units can be trouble
- Gear dependent later on (what isn’t?)
- Can be a bit boring
- Requires high level skills
Ok, now let’s take a look at the actual build itself and go over the best strategies and tactics for using the various wizard abilities involved.
