This video is amazing. I really feel this is what is missing from almost all d3 guides. Different build examples for different paragon levels. So many of us will for example never reach 2k para, or 4k para, etc. So when to do swaps instead of just YOLO the endgame 6k para build really belongs in the guides for that progression.
@@prozlayer87 Amen! I love the attention to detail in the maxroll guides but in practice I'm always getting better results from other sources that are more oriented towards the lower paragons. I think the pros blow through them so quickly they've maybe even forgotten what they did at the start, but for casual slower players like me that "start" is basically the whole season.
This video is AWESOME, no wonder I don't feel invincible like all the guides say, I'm like 1100 paragons on non-season, and will likely never reach 1500 before D3 is over.. played D3 for years and thought reading the guides that this build would let me easily pass my GR111 record... nope, I get smashed in trying GR100 with most of the guide builds, way easier to get a good Grandeur and switch my storm armor rune, maybe I should even switch from my primal augs shoulder/bracer to guardian
Great video, thank you for the explanation. I did much better once getting a max halo. My two cents: even if you have the paragon to support it, use guardians if you are new to the build. This gives you much more freedom to learn the play style and stay alive while you get better at it. Once you’re more comfortable you can make the switch and be better off.
Thanks man! I was stuck at GR 148 for a few days. After watching this video I made a few changes and I cleared both GR 149 & 150 in like 15 keys. I'll detail what I changed because it might help people. I have 2k para, so it helps, but it's not the biggest change. I was stuck on 148 at 1.6/1.7/1.8/1.9k para so it's not what made the difference. First, I changed my amulet. I had a trifecta one in my stash, but not ancient. I replaced my old int/cc/cd + augment by that one with % arcane dmg / cc / cd. Then, I swapped 2 int gems from pants for 2 vit gems. I rerolled some % armor on gear for % life. My HP went from 700k to 1 mil and my shield from 400k to 600k. I became tankier and the loss of damage became insignificant, because my Squirt's was up most of the time, almost never at 0. I have some pretty good gear but not crazy, everything is augmented except 2x rings and amulet and I have "only" 2 primal: crafted weapon and belt from Kadala. The rift was not OP but pretty good. Hope it helps others. GL! :) EDIT: I also got rid of the % meteor damage in helm and replace by vit. ^^
One thing you mentioned on another video was using the crit rune on storm armor for extra procs. Since we have resource on crit this season it's not huge. And it made my storm armor much more consistent.
Good tip...ive done 146 this season...just peaked to 1500 paragon last night. i started the damn season way too late....but my main issue is to keep squirt buff up more...and i know the ring isnt the best..maybe i should cube it and try get the act 1 ring with some decent rolls. Very helpful guide thanks
FINALLY managed to clear my first ever 150 today. Thanks to finally realising you have a low paragon guardians build (was pushing to 148 with aughilds+1450 paragons) damage skyrocketed kek But thanks to 7am gaming+ESC gaming, i finally did it!! Thank you for all your videos that made it possible!
Thank you Wudi!,,. The perfect video as I head into the push part of my season.. Your explanations are so clear, and I now understand many more of the finer points of building and playing characters to their and my best ability...
So far mostly speedfarming with Aether Walker, so I definitely use that Topaz in my helmet. But this is good stuff for making a pushing build. I'm trying to get at least 135 this season. Can probably almost do it already. Am playing Aughilds and Squirts, though. The Tal's Orb you can have frees up a slot for augs while I use a Ashgenar's to boost my shields. Running 105's generally never even breaks the shield.
Fantastic video, I hit a pretty big brick wall at around 140 because of my toughness and always dropping squirts. I look forward to pushing up to 150 with these tips!
My first ever 150 attempt, changed the meteor cold rune to star pact, got the cemetery map. I was about to get out and fish but then i realized It was oreks dream. Got power and the "zap" pylons....1 mapped it =)
I found that I die with this build mainly due to ranged attacks. Hard to see them coming with all those meteors falling all the time. So I dumped the Aughild’s and went with the two piece bonus from DMO for slow time bubbles. Deaths went away and no real noticeable penalty to damage or other survivability.
I could be wrong because I haven't looked at DMO but I think if you want to use slow time then the legendary Crown of the Primus would be better than 2 piece DMO. I used this when I played Tal Rasha last season but you would need to have slow time on your skill bar so you might only be able to fit it in if like I did you play cold meteors assuming you also need magic weapon conduit when playing Arcane (and won't drop teleport).
@@iang3565 can do it that way also. I use magic missile to proc the bubbles and also what ever element meteor I have attached to it at the same time. It allows me to keep teleport for emergency use.
I did a few 150s with around 4k Vit and 15k Int. You dont NEED perfect stats or 1-2mil Hp. With my 4k Vit i got oneshot (thru full Schield) by almost everything. But only if they hit you. Fishing for good maps is one thing. But bad minion types are way worse when you dont have good gear/Para. The best thing that makes you survive is good positioning and a good use of your Teleport. If you start with that, you crush 150s with good gear like nothing
just finished 149GR and just rolled a 80% Karini with 20 AD and 36 Cdmg. What luck! Just rolled a 6% crit chance after 10 rolls .. what a day of grinding
This build can probably run unity as well considering, the times some people get on 150s, I assume convention of elements being dropped wouldn't be to big of a deal.
@@rotony1 CoE will outperform SoJ when pushing even if you dont play around it, so no real reason to use SoJ there. Unity can make the build a lot easier until you feel like you absolutely need that extra damage.
I’m wondering if the mut gem I think it is called, that give you a 200% shield after you lvl it to 25 and activates after no dmg for 4 secs would be a good toughness increase and way to keep squirts staying up?
I died on my wizard on HC yesterday on GR 102 and was looking for a way to make the new character more tanky. Thankfully I had an entire second build stashed in case I died. This will help a lot!
@Serre Nyan I ended up using the guardian set which I didn't know existed before this video. That and better positioning for karini's has made me go up to 112 now. I'm still scared of going higher lol
This video should really have a disclaimer at the start that makes it clear that running Tal Rasha on console is extremely harder than on PC due to doing double the damage as Console and that the "draws lesser enemies to Meteor impact sites" effect on smoldering core doesn't work at all on console either...
Guten Morgen :) Another Tipp for the Ice-Meteor Build would be to exchange the Blackhole for Diamond Skin. This can help greatly to keep up your Squirts and you alive. Though you loose a nice Control-Tool with it.
i like blackhole waaay to much for cc and therefore tankieness. every time i dont have it up i die way easier. with it placed nicely you can stop those nasty sekli archers shooting you constantly😂
@@WhiteVampire888 Maybe this is exactly why you should try it out :D Blackhole is meant to boost yourself for your cold rotation and not to spamm it ;) On the other hand, Diamondskin ist meant to be spammed if its ready. You could even Num-Lock it, if it is up to your taste and only use teleport and meteor, wich gives you more time to fokus on the battleground and not starring at your skillbar, to see if your BH is up again.
Haha, i had 3000 vitality when I started this build and I was like "what is this old school low life setup". I died to much and was thinking of how to get more life. Then this video came up. Thanks 👍🏿
Hey wudi, what is your opinion on if I run Star Pack, trading Blackhole for a generator, then getting Arcane Dynamo passive? Think its worth the trade to get max damage boost Meteor plus 60% or just relying on getting AP back from crits and spam Meteor as much as possible?
Hi wudi, thx for your awesome Videos. I have a quick question. When pushing with starpact... is it worth putting the 50 Paragon points in more arcanepower?
I wanted the extra area damage and stats that have to be on gear so I just switched some paragons to vitality. Anything under 6k feels too squishy with basically no shield. 8k vit is probably the ideal place to sit.
I didnt know Karini legendary roll makes so much difference. I have reforged Karini to ancient with crit/crit/int, but the legendary roll is only 64, i thought that was a good ring with augment.
Hp wherever you can get it. crit crit ad, and then hp, kinda like tals wiz. make sure you keep up bone armor. that also adds a ton of hp. its not uncommon to walk around with 9million hp.
I personally actually push with Tals Ammy and use Karini and SOJ equipped with COE in cube and I prefer it over the classic cookie cutter squirts coe Karini equipped
I'm up to 122 as of this message. Should be able to push to 150 with a few optimizations I learned from this video. Did not consider putting Amethyst in my helm and pants. Had all Topaz. Looking at over 1 million life now. Thanks for the tips, Wudj!
For those of us that are still pre 1000 paragon, you say no Aughild or Squirts until 1500, so what is recommended with the Guardian? Skeleton King pauldrons for extra life? Or is there something that may work better?
I’m blocked sto 149, there’s to much lag in switch, i can’t move on, my wizard i sat 1700 paragon, i tried comet with ice and star with arcane, but lag doesn’t help! I’ll make another character (maybe barbarian) in hope to get more strenght equip for my templar in the mean time!
also i went with life on hit with my primal weapon (35k on hit) total of 44K. It has saved me multiple times as I just finished 149GR with 2974 Vit and 15064 Int. I almost got 150GR had i got the shield pylon as the last one.
I wish there was another viable amulet for damage other than squirts for hardcore. Otherwise you need to go with travelers set which is not that great in all builds, and hellfire not that great either.
@@OyvindFV If you can't find a good Karini then you should make it primal first. But you ideally want to roll useful stats on it like Crit chance, Crit damage, and/or area damage. That might take a few tries. If you later find a good ancient Karini you can make something else primal.
It doesn't realy matter too much, that's why. The altar gives you passability so the "pass trough walls" potion is useless, and all of the others are really also not very usefull as you are not pressing the potion on danger, due to the altar potion upgrades, you press the potion constantly to get the shrine effects, whenever is off cooldown, you don't wait for danger. What I have, for very limited utility is the fear enemies legendary potion, I thought at least I might get some enemies off whenever I press it, even if I am not low life that is usefull, for Karini if nothing else, bu also to prevent some hits potentially.
hi, thx 4 the great builds - always a big help. quick question though. i have found a perfectly rolled ashnagarr's blood bracer in primal ancient quality. is there ANY way I could build that one into this or another meteor wiz build? thanks
Great Video Thanks wudi But how should we spend our paragon (vitality /intelligence) and can you show us how to equip the templar (Which items). It would be nice :D
are there even situations when talrasha's element immune is viable? because it sounds great but it's obviously that you can't stay in arcane beams and moltens etc
got my templar heal down to 10.43sec cd. thatas 65.25% cd got born and captain crim set missing 1% on ring but value the 85% ocu more would like them all ancient tho so I could use relic that gives 50% cd on skills or all of them. Wiz is sitting on just just 3.2k 450k hp did a sub 8min with that hp vit but I traded out frostnova to Ray of frost "cold blood" that way i never need to go to melle and cost of beam is just 5.75AP for me so regening more than the costit ads a slow and its realy nice to tap in frostmeteor from range
Why does resource cost reduction work at all with star pact? it just removes everything on one cast and adds 20% for every point spent. You dont spend more points by reducing the cost, hence it shouldnt result in more dps. What am I missing here?
Hello Wudi, thanks for the tips, I have a question tho, I usually don't ask about items bonuses but I'm curious, I dropped a primal Karini with Int, Crit and RCR, now I ask RCR helps in any way the star pact variant? In this situation what is better to roll? RCR to crit or Int to crit. Thanks for help
Not possible to go over 148 currently.. yea u can kill on 150 but unless a lucky map, u ll die. Im 1700para, 1m life, 80karini, (augh ofc), 20k int and still this build is not surviving enough. I even have unwavering in. doubt ppl can legit farm 150s..
so get karini make primal then cube it. i have 7 piece primal and im having hard time with 145 and im 3004 paragon but this is actually my first season playing wiz i normally play barb necro dh. i missing primal helm gloves squirts boots and karini atm everything else is all good with perfect rolls. my encchantress also has aug 125s in int on all pieces and 2 primals for it. any advice on anything should change?
@@mrc-rrn yeah i usually like to be up there in the business its different for me to have to stay back some and do dmg that way. im getting better at it though. i have all primal with good rolls except for neck gloves helm boots and karini
Just made a wizard last night and I was getting obliterated by random snakes and small enemies. Until I saw that I had 400k hp. Boosed it up to 1mil + Karini and is so much better now. Thanks for the guide!
I tried aughilds, I tried guardians, 1200 paragon and I still cant get past just rift 134 with any of these builds that I keep finding, all gear augmented it's either that I don't deal enough damage to complete the rift in time, or I get 1 shotted by ranged monsters. I somehow do a lot better when I ditch smoldering core, cube grand vizier and use in-geom and orb of infinite depth with explosive blast and thunder meteors, suddenly I'm able to kill monsters a lot quicker and clear higher rifts, my speedfarming build is somehow more powerful than my gr pushing build.
@@TheEternalVortex42 Thanks for trying to help, I actually figured out what my issue was... Basically I forgot to cube the smoldering core and was running without it's bonus the whole time, Im surprised I got through rift 133 without it tbh. Just completed rift 140 with a ton of time left despite getting really bad floors, that thing made the world of a difference.
Rorg have a default atk speed and life on hit rolls, it's very hard to get a "good" rolls and impossible to get "perfect" rolls, especially for Star Pack wiz (when attack speed is "less" important). Thus most people would save the primal craft for the Karini.
True, though this strategy would be suitable for early season start, as you slowly grind up the mats and do more speeds, since we get double bounties from the altar
Can someone summarize the tips please, I speak Spanish and I don't understand the video, if someone writes it, can you translate it, greetings and thanks!!!
I feel it kind of wierd that you have to do this kind of video about THIS build. This is my first time playing meteor, and personally i feel like this is propably one of the tankiest high pushing builds i have ever played :D
These videos are great and give a lot of insights into the gameplay and game mechanics. However, sometimes it is very hard to follow some “facts”: - Karini 80% damage reduction multiplies your toughness x5 o_O why? - 60% vs 80% Karini reduces your toughness by 50%. Wtf. Why? Anyone? :)
Some quick numbers to help you. Let's say you have 100hp and take a hit for 100 damage. Right now you can take 1 hit. With 80% DR you take 20 damage, and thus now you can take 5 hits or 5x toughness. With 60% DR you take 40 damage. Even though it seems like it'd only be 20% in this case you are taking DOUBLE DAMAGE with a 60% ring or as he/you say, a 50% reduction in toughness. Hope that helps!
I already cleared 150 with the guardian set up but I was using zei's and power hungry rather than audacity and esoteric ( also only had 69% on my karini at the time, have primal now though), I do have both versions able to use, I just have not tried the squirts auguild version yet, that is my goal for today to get the bracers ( I have the shoulders already just incase I wanted to try it ) then I need to get a tal rasha belt and then finally a squirts ( which I have plenty of and I can make into primal assuming it rolls correct ) a question for Wudijo though or anyone else who may know, Demon hunter, UE multishot or Marauder better for pushing to 150 ???? ( worth noting, on console I dont have access to this 'stutter step' if I am correct in what I called it )
Even though this video is really helpful. I have to say I absolutely hate the wizard this season. Meteor wizard is just such a damn slog to play mixed with its horrible survivability. Its not fun at all in my opinion. I made it to GR 140 easily and could probably do a 150 but I couldn't even be bothered with how bad the build is. Just to be clear I mean bad as in not fun, not the damage it deals.
This video is amazing. I really feel this is what is missing from almost all d3 guides. Different build examples for different paragon levels. So many of us will for example never reach 2k para, or 4k para, etc. So when to do swaps instead of just YOLO the endgame 6k para build really belongs in the guides for that progression.

still most ppl use the resource one in top, there must be a reason.

damage skyrocketed kek

Thx Wudijo, nice explanation, the tip of ring of karini already and cubing helm helped me about 15 rifts higher now with ease :)

Yes
Yes it is
yes
It would be nice to see your paragon points, or tell us how much of your paragon you have in life points, arcane points, velocity?
movement full, vit up to ~1m life without guardian set, 1.5m+ with
@@wudijo thanks so much!
Tal Rasha, a powerful build that kills you too much. Thanks for some extra tips.
Nice guide! I might have to try the guardians as I am finding survivability hard at 140 still, also my squirts isn't that great.....
Woah, update with guardians on, its waaaaay more tanky :)
Man that Karini’s thing is real, it’s the last regular legendary in my build because the only ancient I’ve seen rolled a lower damage reduction.
This still using normal ring as never found a better one this one isn't even perfect only 79%.
On a funny side note, I tried the suggestion of a RRG instead. I ended up with a PRIMAL RRG with Int/Crit Damage/Attack Speed/Socket.
I'm at 1060 paragon, running both guardians and aughilds with tal Rasha running gr130s. Squirts is in the cube. Super tanky with a ton of damage
All the top ranked players are using Bane of the Powerful. But why if i am going to skip elites while pushing anyway? I don't get the bonus dmg.
all the top ranked players clear the rift in 2-4min and destroy elite packs in 1-2 CoE cycles, so they have the buff all the time
I wanted the extra area damage and stats that have to be on gear so I just switched some paragons to vitality. Anything under 6k feels too squishy with basically no shield. 8k vit is probably the ideal place to sit.
How would you change the comet build for NON season? I am on 2.1k paragon, almost perfect gear and i cannot hit 150. Thank you.
I didnt know Karini legendary roll makes so much difference. I have reforged Karini to ancient with crit/crit/int, but the legendary roll is only 64, i thought that was a good ring with augment.
Nop 80% or go keel yourself, also want a good secondary
That is a shit ring mate. Same as COE. Less than 190 and its trash.
You can look up the ranges of any item by holding Ctrl while hovering your mouse over the item.
Thanks for the replies, i will replace that ring ASAP, at least for high GR im pretty squishy.
Danke für das Video ich hoffe ich überlebe jetzt mal länger.😂😂👍
how does range work here does it count from place where you use your spell or does it constantly adjust until spell hit its target?
if you mean zei's - at the moment of impact
@@wudijo yes so if i use meteor from one point and continue moving forward it will not hit as strong as it would if i stay on bigger distance
Can you put the d3planner links in your infos?
Thanks a lot for this!
how do you spend you'r paragons? do you use anything in vitality or just all in to int?
I put a few hundred in vit but depends on your items
Hey, maybe same video about trag'oul/lod death nova. DMG is enormous but toughness not as good as it should be, or im doing something wrong.
Hp wherever you can get it. crit crit ad, and then hp, kinda like tals wiz. make sure you keep up bone armor. that also adds a ton of hp. its not uncommon to walk around with 9million hp.
you can run guardian + dayntee + aquila or stone gauntlets
When runnign withe guardians set, i like to use the pauldrons of the skeleton king for the death save. This frees up a passive for something else.
It's only a "chance" of a death save. The passives (you and your follower) are guaranteed death saves.
I use guardians in my speed build,
in geom tal off hand and then i can use squirt too and it feels much beter than aughilds
"dont play aughilds and squirts before 1500 paragon" I assume this means i wear tal rashas amulet and guardians?
Yeap
I personally actually push with Tals Ammy and use Karini and SOJ equipped with COE in cube and I prefer it over the classic cookie cutter squirts coe Karini equipped
I'm up to 122 as of this message. Should be able to push to 150 with a few optimizations I learned from this video. Did not consider putting Amethyst in my helm and pants. Had all Topaz. Looking at over 1 million life now. Thanks for the tips, Wudj!
@@Itz_KLONOPIN this is exaclty what I've been running last season.
I know this is obvious, but make sure all of your gear is augmented where it can be. It’s one of the most slept on upgrades
For those of us that are still pre 1000 paragon, you say no Aughild or Squirts until 1500, so what is recommended with the Guardian? Skeleton King pauldrons for extra life? Or is there something that may work better?
any shoulder
Great video :D
How do you get Aughild's Search bracers, I can't find the receipe
I’m blocked sto 149, there’s to much lag in switch, i can’t move on, my wizard i sat 1700 paragon, i tried comet with ice and star with arcane, but lag doesn’t help! I’ll make another character (maybe barbarian) in hope to get more strenght equip for my templar in the mean time!
The best EU player!
Btw tyvm!
also i went with life on hit with my primal weapon (35k on hit) total of 44K. It has saved me multiple times as I just finished 149GR with 2974 Vit and 15064 Int. I almost got 150GR had i got the shield pylon as the last one.
I wish there was another viable amulet for damage other than squirts for hardcore. Otherwise you need to go with travelers set which is not that great in all builds, and hellfire not that great either.
I run 150s relativ easy now. I noticed that i am more consistent when i use Temporal Flux.. It makes it so much easier for me..
What’s your thoughts about making Karini a Primordial? Or is there a slot that is much more beneficial to have as the primordial?
You mean primal?
@@imadecoy. yeah or the one u can craft from cube. Isn’t it called something else like Primordial or? 🤔
@@OyvindFV The salvaged materials are called primordial ashes. The item you are making is called a primal ancient.
Hehe, anywhoo. Is there a slot that’s more useful to have the crafted Primal in than Karini? Since u can only equip one crafted primal that is
@@OyvindFV If you can't find a good Karini then you should make it primal first. But you ideally want to roll useful stats on it like Crit chance, Crit damage, and/or area damage. That might take a few tries. If you later find a good ancient Karini you can make something else primal.
Could someone share the maxroll or an image with the change and use of the guardian set please? I speak Spanish and I don't understand the video well
I have a 77% karini but keep dying at 141+. Maybe i should use rubies in my armour
have you seen the video?
I have noticed, that alot of Wizards are using the blank potion. Is there a reason for that?
It doesn't realy matter too much, that's why. The altar gives you passability so the "pass trough walls" potion is useless, and all of the others are really also not very usefull as you are not pressing the potion on danger, due to the altar potion upgrades, you press the potion constantly to get the shrine effects, whenever is off cooldown, you don't wait for danger. What I have, for very limited utility is the fear enemies legendary potion, I thought at least I might get some enemies off whenever I press it, even if I am not low life that is usefull, for Karini if nothing else, bu also to prevent some hits potentially.
You should do a "Map" Guide. I never know what Maps are good or bad. I just try to get thru what the game gives me.

hi, thx 4 the great builds - always a big help.
quick question though. i have found a perfectly rolled ashnagarr's blood bracer in primal ancient quality.
is there ANY way I could build that one into this or another meteor wiz build?
thanks
it's used on LoD Meteor which is an alternative almost as powerful build if you want to do that, but for Tal Rasha not really
@@wudijo thank you for reply.
seen that the season will still go on for a while i guess i'll give the LoD build a go then, just for fun :)
cheers
Ive been playing for a week now, havent found a good karini but i can still farm GR 85 in 3 min
Wich im happy with but i do feel the toughness issues
Thank you 4 advices
Thanks a lot
thx 4 the advices
Great Video Thanks wudi
But how should we spend our paragon (vitality /intelligence) and can you show us how to equip the templar (Which items).
It would be nice :D
are there even situations when talrasha's element immune is viable? because it sounds great but it's obviously that you can't stay in arcane beams and moltens etc
I don't think it really does anything in practice
this video save me
got my templar heal down to 10.43sec cd. thatas 65.25% cd got born and captain crim set missing 1% on ring but value the 85% ocu more would like them all ancient tho so I could use relic that gives 50% cd on skills or all of them. Wiz is sitting on just just 3.2k 450k hp did a sub 8min with that hp vit but I traded out frostnova to Ray of frost "cold blood" that way i never need to go to melle and cost of beam is just 5.75AP for me so regening more than the costit ads a slow and its realy nice to tap in frostmeteor from range
how about Enchantress as follower? make her fully tank and gain access all skill, guardian + blackthrone set, I wonder she can survive higher GR
I think that'll work best in a pet build, like Typhon's, where she benefits from the enforcer gem.
Why does resource cost reduction work at all with star pact? it just removes everything on one cast and adds 20% for every point spent. You dont spend more points by reducing the cost, hence it shouldnt result in more dps. What am I missing here?
Faster recast
you reduce base cost and spend more on the "consume all" so it's a minor dps buff, but usually not worth rolling over other stats
that life gem might allow me to go aug, thank you
Hello Wudi, thanks for the tips, I have a question tho, I usually don't ask about items bonuses but I'm curious, I dropped a primal Karini with Int, Crit and RCR, now I ask RCR helps in any way the star pact variant? In this situation what is better to roll? RCR to crit or Int to crit.
Thanks for help
At 7:56 he talks about RCR, you can drop it and roll crit instead.
CHC and CHD are first before RCR. RCR is a waste on rings, do not ever get it on a ring! Shoulder or gloves ok but not rings.
@@thedon9670 in this case its better to keep the rcr over the int though. He is not rolling for it.
I'd only keep RCR over int at very high paragon
thank you.
Yesterday I pushed for 150 cleared it in 6min 35 seconds. I will be honest though my vitality is super low but I'm sitting around 2300 paragons.
Pls show the build with Guardians set, because i don't understand what shoulders slot i should use.
there's no shoulder, you drop squirt's, use tal rasha amulet, guardian belt + bracer
@@wudijo pauldrons of the skeleton king?
Not possible to go over 148 currently.. yea u can kill on 150 but unless a lucky map, u ll die. Im 1700para, 1m life, 80karini, (augh ofc), 20k int and still this build is not surviving enough. I even have unwavering in. doubt ppl can legit farm 150s..
Did 142 on HC with 1k paragon aughilds, blur, and no squirts while using black hole instead of diamond skin.. Build is very broken
so get karini make primal then cube it. i have 7 piece primal and im having hard time with 145 and im 3004 paragon but this is actually my first season playing wiz i normally play barb necro dh. i missing primal helm gloves squirts boots and karini atm everything else is all good with perfect rolls. my encchantress also has aug 125s in int on all pieces and 2 primals for it. any advice on anything should change?
if you have good gear and 3k paragon you should be able to crush 150s in under 10 mins, guess you have to practice the playstyle a little bit
@@mrc-rrn yeah i usually like to be up there in the business its different for me to have to stay back some and do dmg that way. im getting better at it though. i have all primal with good rolls except for neck gloves helm boots and karini
can anyone tell me which pieces of the guardian set i should use in the build?
bracer belt
Just made a wizard last night and I was getting obliterated by random snakes and small enemies. Until I saw that I had 400k hp. Boosed it up to 1mil + Karini and is so much better now.
Thanks for the guide!
How do you have 65% damage increase against elite?
the season theme
@@wudijo thanks bro and great content
I've been using Enchantress...
I tried aughilds, I tried guardians, 1200 paragon and I still cant get past just rift 134 with any of these builds that I keep finding, all gear augmented it's either that I don't deal enough damage to complete the rift in time, or I get 1 shotted by ranged monsters. I somehow do a lot better when I ditch smoldering core, cube grand vizier and use in-geom and orb of infinite depth with explosive blast and thunder meteors, suddenly I'm able to kill monsters a lot quicker and clear higher rifts, my speedfarming build is somehow more powerful than my gr pushing build.
You must be doing something wrong, I cleared 140 first try with less paragon than that. Link your d3planner
@@TheEternalVortex42 Thanks for trying to help, I actually figured out what my issue was... Basically I forgot to cube the smoldering core and was running without it's bonus the whole time, Im surprised I got through rift 133 without it tbh. Just completed rift 140 with a ton of time left despite getting really bad floors, that thing made the world of a difference.
Is it possible to do hydra wizard GR 150?
It’s definitely possible. I’m working toward that myself. Prefer the challenge to just obliterating everything
yeah at ~1.5k-2k paragon shouldn't be such a huge deal
This is what i decided to do..i hate the squishyness of tal rash so i switched to typhoon hydra and im much happier
i've gotten up to 136 but mianly cause my gear is blaaa ether bad rolls or just nothing at all xD
I just keep running out of arcane power ..
I rolled Halo into the primal ancient. So, you get the best stats anyways.
Rorg have a default atk speed and life on hit rolls, it's very hard to get a "good" rolls and impossible to get "perfect" rolls, especially for Star Pack wiz (when attack speed is "less" important). Thus most people would save the primal craft for the Karini.
True, though this strategy would be suitable for early season start, as you slowly grind up the mats and do more speeds, since we get double bounties from the altar
Can someone summarize the tips please, I speak Spanish and I don't understand the video, if someone writes it, can you translate it, greetings and thanks!!!
I feel it kind of wierd that you have to do this kind of video about THIS build. This is my first time playing meteor, and personally i feel like this is propably one of the tankiest high pushing builds i have ever played :D
TLDR: also put on 2-3 pieces of the DMO set...? 🤣
DMO?
These videos are great and give a lot of insights into the gameplay and game mechanics.
However, sometimes it is very hard to follow some “facts”:
- Karini 80% damage reduction multiplies your toughness x5 o_O why?
- 60% vs 80% Karini reduces your toughness by 50%. Wtf. Why?
Anyone? :)
Some quick numbers to help you. Let's say you have 100hp and take a hit for 100 damage. Right now you can take 1 hit.
With 80% DR you take 20 damage, and thus now you can take 5 hits or 5x toughness.
With 60% DR you take 40 damage. Even though it seems like it'd only be 20% in this case you are taking DOUBLE DAMAGE with a 60% ring or as he/you say, a 50% reduction in toughness. Hope that helps!
@@mickeysgotagun , appreciate your awesome compact and precise answer. Now it is clear as day. Much respect!
I already cleared 150 with the guardian set up but I was using zei's and power hungry rather than audacity and esoteric ( also only had 69% on my karini at the time, have primal now though), I do have both versions able to use, I just have not tried the squirts auguild version yet, that is my goal for today to get the bracers ( I have the shoulders already just incase I wanted to try it ) then I need to get a tal rasha belt and then finally a squirts ( which I have plenty of and I can make into primal assuming it rolls correct )
a question for Wudijo though or anyone else who may know, Demon hunter, UE multishot or Marauder better for pushing to 150 ???? ( worth noting, on console I dont have access to this 'stutter step' if I am correct in what I called it )
@@felipe_flowerz Nat, you mean bugged Nat
I was having this problem and did a 145 then I realized I only had 400k life
Even though this video is really helpful. I have to say I absolutely hate the wizard this season. Meteor wizard is just such a damn slog to play mixed with its horrible survivability. Its not fun at all in my opinion. I made it to GR 140 easily and could probably do a 150 but I couldn't even be bothered with how bad the build is. Just to be clear I mean bad as in not fun, not the damage it deals.
Sounds Chinese to me.
are you really telling me that people still play this game?
