I run FB, Invis, Explo, Lightning strike and MM this wipe. I'm mostly duo though and use those spells to help with rangers holding doors. Perks wise I'm currently running Quick chant, arcane mastery, fire mastery (for the heal slow) and the magic damage one I can't remember, though might drop that out for reactive. I like fire mastery so not sure I can drop that. 😂 Nice video explaining the changes btw. Top job.
love you CNG ive gotten better wathcing your videos, from being a rat, to killing Apollo/partychip/ anda few others idk and killing uniques sets like two nights ago, echo of screams and spellweaver.
I saw some of your return stream. You said you were having trouble with rogue's in the bit I saw. How do you feel about the ranger matchup? did you face many in your return? Thanks for video I enjoyed you explaining your choices
What do you think about intense focus? I always run it instead of arcane shield, it also helps playing defensively, as many players try running to a safe spot after immidiately eating a fireball
if on a budget i found it alot better to just go rings of vital with true mag max health grims with true mag max heal bonus give same hp for more money
Cast speed is good but so is mpb, when he says it’s overrated he means it’s not as good as people say and that true is better. 80% cast speed is more than enough and mystic vestments slow the least and give a good amount of armor
Move speed is overrated as you don’t focus on it. But if it’s free just take it. Also oracle robe will bump your cast speed to high, not worth math wise. Will is insanely loaded, Mpb, magic resistance, debuff duration buff duration mag interaction speed. You don’t stack or prio will, but you take it if it’s free. Hope that make sense
Invis 1.Give same move speed as haste. 2.it’s instant cast with arcane mastery 3.Drop mob aggro 4.Allow for gap close against rangers/bow users 5.Bait out spells or cooldown or someone camping behind the door. Haste : 10% cast speed 🤝
Thanks for the video. Is it okay to go with additional damage on rings/cape of im trying to play budget? I know it doesnt ignore magic resist but sometimes i check prices for blue vigor rings with true damage and theyre over 400g. Additional is half price but i always worry im throwing when i pick them. Edit: im sure that either one is viable and not the issue holding me back from winning pvp. I also struggle with playing low move speed but its too expensive to build. I need to improve my spacing and not waste my spells when people bait me from jiggle peaking. If i hit my spells and weakened melee classes before they push id win the magic missle all in plays. So its just a skill issue the jewelry doesnt matter lol
The difference is only relevant against high MR classes like Barb and Warlock. It's good for budget but True is definitely a mandatory stats if you can afford. Not wasting your spells is key because you're not running overload. Any class will die with 1 zap + full mm to the head, hit 2 and it's guaranted kill
at the 5:50 clip of the barb, the arcane shield didn't matter, right? Like it didn't activate until after he hit you and he only hit you once, correct?
You're thinking of the reactive shield which was mentioned earlier in the vid. You're right, that perk does proc on the second hit, but CNG wasn't even running it in this particular clip.
@@cngblade je te suit depuis le Quebec lache pas mec je suis tes vidéos et ça m’aide vraiment continue ton bon travail comme on dirais en québécois, tu fais une criss de bonne job 👌
I run fire mastery just because of overy confident warlocks. When you see one try to commit from around the corner with a fireball. They will not expect you to face tank the curse and you will trade. The problem is yours will hurt with direct hit and negate the healing. So you can all in and win with burst. The only problem is 3rd party but you should always win the all in if you direct the warlock :)
It adds 1 dmg to every instance of dmg you're dealing. It is affected by scaling the number in (). For example Ice bolt has 1 which means 100% scaling, it you have 5 true dmg it will add 5 true dmg on hit. But for other spells like magic missile it's on every single projectile
Looks like my build except for the items, maybe building 120% scs isn't the play and I should really focus on hp lol the -15 hp change didn't feel so good so will definitely be trying this out
Hello CNG, and thanks a lot for this useful video! I was testing tons of different build with this new patch and it was hard to cover the HP loss. One question: if you had all the races unlocked, which one would you choose for fine tuning your Wizard build, even if it barely changes anything?
If you're looking for low risk and easy way to make money then farm spider silk in goblin cave you will make bank and you can avoid pvp most of the time.

Would love to see more gameplay 🙌
Yay! My thoughts are the same as the teacher's
W outro
your back hope the trip was Nice
This is so funny because I realized this too and actually built a really really similar load out.
I saw some of your return stream. You said you were having trouble with rogue's in the bit I saw. How do you feel about the ranger matchup? did you face many in your return? Thanks for video I enjoyed you explaining your choices
Ranger is fine, learn to duck and dodge play around corners and use protection potion
What do you think about intense focus? I always run it instead of arcane shield, it also helps playing defensively, as many players try running to a safe spot after immidiately eating a fireball
It’s not as consistent as arcane shield, you can miss. Also arcane has scaling, intense doesn’t
if on a budget i found it alot better to just go rings of vital with true mag max health
grims with true mag max heal bonus give same hp for more money
thanks broski
If you are saying that move speed is overrated, true dmg is better than MPB, and you want more cast speed, then why not run Oracle robe?
Cast speed is good but so is mpb, when he says it’s overrated he means it’s not as good as people say and that true is better. 80% cast speed is more than enough and mystic vestments slow the least and give a good amount of armor
Move speed is overrated as you don’t focus on it. But if it’s free just take it. Also oracle robe will bump your cast speed to high, not worth math wise. Will is insanely loaded, Mpb, magic resistance, debuff duration buff duration mag interaction speed. You don’t stack or prio will, but you take it if it’s free. Hope that make sense
best squire kit imo is Lycan with lightfoots/loosetrousers/leathergloves for 309 movespeed & 92 hp (can wear a blue phoenix choker for 23gs)
With the 2-3k build do you use sage still like the squire gear or just the new build with reactive?
Yes go sage
Yeup, I knew reactive shield would become widely used eventually. :Kekw:
I dont know how I feel about it. Feel like you are going to get two tapped no matter what.
What reason do you have for running invisibility vs haste in this build? Just curious what your stance is on haste vs invisibility
Invis
1.Give same move speed as haste.
2.it’s instant cast with arcane mastery
3.Drop mob aggro
4.Allow for gap close against rangers/bow users
5.Bait out spells or cooldown or someone camping behind the door.
Haste :
10% cast speed 🤝
@cngblade thanks! Love your videos man, keep up the good work
Cool video but am concerned. What is the answer for panther/rogue if we are ditching ignite for this?
Good question, rogue also lost 15 hp, with sword out and arcane shield + Ice shield + Reactive you can easily 2 taps them and win the melee trade
Also why in the last few clips you was running sage and not reactive shield?
I had low cast speed because shit build

@cngblade thank you grandmaster wizard
isn't it better to use ruby rawhide+rugged boots instead of reinforced gloves+occultists? or is it too expensive
You lose 1 will and probably 5-7 armor rating but you gain 2 move speed. And yeah it’s more expensive
Thank you for the budget and the squire builds! Is budget build is under 225 gs?
Nope it’s not, btw normals has only 2 brackets now, 0-24 and 24-124, above you need to play HR
@cngblade I thought HR have 2 brackets now, under 225 and above
@@daurmur HR I am not sure
@@cngblade yeah, HR now have 125-224 pool and 225+ pool, so I thought maybe budget build is for 125-224 pool.
at the 5:50 clip of the barb, the arcane shield didn't matter, right? Like it didn't activate until after he hit you and he only hit you once, correct?
The arcane shield did proc, he hit through the shield. If I didn't pop it I was probably dead
You're thinking of the reactive shield which was mentioned earlier in the vid. You're right, that perk does proc on the second hit, but CNG wasn't even running it in this particular clip.
Why you choose move speed bonus % instead of additional move speed on boots?
lower cost maybe
It’s usually 40% cheaper and same value

Ive read ur comment, do u think 5 spell is better in duos then 10? And could u make a duo/trio build video pls
You don't need 10 spells in duo, as many of them don't get full value.
Why do you run grimsmile rings instead leg. vitality ?
W video
fight the warlock and ranger is still my worst nightmare when I play wizard, should I just run when I saw them or what should I do?
You need to force them to commit to all in, get them into range where they can't kite otherwise don't fight
@@cngblade so that mean I should like bait them into small room or something?
@@凌霄秋月yes, just imagine you land one spell, can they just run ? Yes => then don’t, if you can just all in it’s good fight
I run fire mastery just because of overy confident warlocks. When you see one try to commit from around the corner with a fireball. They will not expect you to face tank the curse and you will trade. The problem is yours will hurt with direct hit and negate the healing. So you can all in and win with burst. The only problem is 3rd party but you should always win the all in if you direct the warlock :)
does true magical dmg add 1 point of additional true dmg to a spell or replaces 1 point of the base dmg of the spell with true dmg?
whenever damage is dealt it adds all your true damage to the total damage you're dealing, affected by scaling
@xenird thanks
It adds 1 dmg to every instance of dmg you're dealing. It is affected by scaling the number in (). For example Ice bolt has 1 which means 100% scaling, it you have 5 true dmg it will add 5 true dmg on hit. But for other spells like magic missile it's on every single projectile
@@cngblade got it, thank you so much, great video btw, keep it going you are the best
Looks like my build except for the items, maybe building 120% scs isn't the play and I should really focus on hp lol the -15 hp change didn't feel so good so will definitely be trying this out
Cast speed stops scaling after 90%. At that point building action speed is better.
Ye I push for 90% then will/ mag power
@@Maksu3 not true, at 170% scs I felt a huge difference in my magic missile speed and ice bolt felt like intense focus. I even posted a clip with it.
str give you alot more hp than i expected
Especially as Wizard we have 6 base str it gives a lot of
wipe is almost coming?? already?
Should be in a month they are usually 2-3 months

Hello CNG, and thanks a lot for this useful video! I was testing tons of different build with this new patch and it was hard to cover the HP loss.

Lycan for squire, then ice walker
@@cngblade Thanks for the answer ;) See you in the dungeon!
i just die to ranger dont know what i can do just lose all the time
that rare choker with max health is now minimum 420 lol
max health bonus way cheap tho
2k Gold is not cheap for me, its so unfortunate that wizard is so hard in all aspects for someone who can't spend much time on the game
