On console the build never used mirror image. They nerfed it by stopping mirror image from triggering the stacks.īUT. The reason it was too strong was on PC you could trigger those stacks with mirror images, meaning you didn't have to stop channeling disintegrate and could just go full out insane damage all the time. It worked by channeling disintegrate to apply stacks to the enemy and then triggering those stacks with a non-channeled skill. The Wizard has possibly the best build in the game on Console, and it is also insanely fun IMO.įirebird set Wizard was recently a god-tier build that was too strong and got nerfed. The console balance is a bit different in general, and especially different when it comes to wizard. You REALLY should have mentioned you play on Switch earlier, as it means literally every reply to you in this thread is irrelevant. And it's pretty squish, so you'll occasionally just vaporize. It's pretty fun, but it's a lot squishier and is a fairly active playstyle (have to get in close to Harvest, have to manually debuff with locusts, etc). The next closest thing is probably Spirit Barrage WD. There isn't really any int build that can compare for general-purpose use. Maxroll has it in the top tier for solo push, keyfarming and below only DH Marauder for the new Echoing Nightmare mode. And AoV would be a great setup to head into after. Or you could go directly into LoD thorns after leveling. The Akkhan set isn't exactly top-tier, but it's a great generic bonus for whatever skill you happen to get multipliers for (Shield Throw, hammers, Condemn, Bombard, shotguns, etc). Have you considered crusader? It's not barb, monk, or DH, but it also isn't as clunky or squishy as the int classes.

Int characters are going to be a lot less fun for casual players right now, IMHO.

Fun wizard build diablo 3
