1.2 - Budget Life Physical Wander

Lightning Coil is not very good.

Since we are running AA, you should not be affected by Phy damage at all. I can do double reflect map + reflect mob and not get affected by reflect. It doesnt hurt me.

I can't run AA yet at a high level so it makes a huge difference in the physical damage I take. I'll try running without it when I can run AA at lv15+ but that's not going to be for quite awhile!

I think Belly of the Beast/Lightning Coil + Rumi's Concoction would be the best defensive option.

Hey guys,

I just leveled my toon and switched to wanding just now.
This is my first time ever doing a wand build. After reading this guide + master crafting, it didn't seem to be that expensive as it was before.

This is my starter wand, bought it for 2 chaos and master crafted it:


Atm my links are: PS+LMP+Chain+AFD
I will switch AFD to FA later when I can equip my leveled FA.

My DPS with this setup is 964.

I am having a hard time in Fellshrine Merciless.

What I want to ask is what is decent DPS on Power Siphon for clearing Merciless and starting mapping. Roughly.

I still haven't gotten all the wand nodes in the tree, so I will have an idea much do I need to improve.

Not a clue, can't remember how much DPS I had. You should look into buying a white 5L and crafting it though. Super cheap and will give you a big DPS boost. That wand is good enough that you shouldn't have damage problems for a bit so I would assume the problem is passives/gems. Faster Attacks makes a massive clearspeed difference on slow wands like that and Inc Crit Damage is what makes you one shot basically everything so you really need the links.

Thanks for the tip. I will start working on that.

I feel this build has a hard time managing mana regen for lvl 20 Arctic Armour.
Currently at 40 mana regen/sec.

My calculations:


All this results in 162 mana regen/second

Max lvl AA requires 229 mobile mana regen/sec.

The problem is we need about 100% mana regen from tree to be able to run max lvl AA and we don't the points to get it.

What do you think about this?

Spoiler

Passive mana%:76%
Passive mana regen%:20%

600 ES on gear(350 hybrid EV/ES chest, 150 on hybrid EV/ES helm and about 50-100 on boots or gloves)
Rings and amulet must have at least 40% mana regen

Max lvl Clarity

Pretty much sums it up. You need to get mana/mana regen from gear or change up your tree to easily run it. I'm not using it at all yet at lv79 because I only have 70 regen/second.

Anyone have videos of this build? I am about to start it up and would love to see it in action.

Thanks!

It's on my to-do list!

For now I will refer you to a video made by YongSheng11 who has his own guide that he has been running, it is very similar to mine.

Thanks, will check it out.

Going to try to craft myself a wand upgrade. I'll make a section in OP and update it with the status!

I also updated single target to be Power Siphon instead of Barrage.
