I think the tougher part is going to be clearing the TX rift in under 2 minutes for the conquest.
No real need to do that though. Even if you care about the extra part of the journey after the stash tab, GR45 with no set items, 350 kills, and 50M gold streak are all completely trivial to do.

So you guys are going to give me shit, but I need some really, REALLY basic advice. I suck at D3 and only play it casually, but I decided to do a full Season on 9 as a wizard and for the fucking life of me I CANNOT fucking kill Malthael on T4 or even get close to a Solo 20 rift. I'm not a total idiot but I have nowhere near the knowledge that you guys do about builds and gear etc etc.

I was fucking with my build earlier (just throwing shit at wall to see what sticks), but here.

Use the skills I am using.

Equip your 4pc Firebirds you got from the cache. If you have any of the other items I have then equip those as well. You should annihilate GR20 with that.

As for Malthiel T4, add me and I will help you, that one sucks for wizard till you get gear.

Basics to get up there are really any set bonus that modifies a damage skill, crit damage/chance on every possible combo (rings, amulet, gloves, hat, source/offhand). You can forego the former as long as you have the latter.

350%-400% crit damage & 40% crit chance you should be able to steamroll up to t6. Remember you can upgrade yellows into legendaries (save it for weapons) as the easiest way to get an ancient weapon fastest too. Dunno about wizards but I would think a wand/source would be better than 2h

Copy all of that. Appreciate it. Like I said I don't min/max this shit at all and am totally casual so I have no real frame of reference for the best paths.

I will probably harass a few of you for the Maltheal bit since I can't do fucking shit on that. I swear to Christ I was running in circles for 15 minutes(I can dodge his bullshit like a motherfucker) and got him down like 5%. Ragequit.

Feel free to ask me to help with him if you see me on. I had a hard time with him solo this season on Wiz but am now in the 300 paragon range and have decent enough gear (WTB MH) so we can roll it and you can get your 6.

Yeah, all in all, choosing monk was just a terrible idea. I should have stuck with DH like I do every other season and I probably wouldn't be giving up already. Changing things because I think the shadow set is utter garbage was just dumb, it's not like I stuck with the starter set for monk either.
Can roll some T13s tonight if you want. Just a matter of getting the right rift for the timer.

If you are still having issues, the guides here at this site all seem to be tailor-made for using the 4 pieces you already have to get through a GR 20. Scroll down to "Wizard GR 20: 4pc Firebird's Finery"

Just wanted to say thank you everyone that gave me tips. Was able to wreck GR20 with some basic changes suggested here and @a_skeleton_03 helped me out with Maltheal. Got my first full set ever and having more fun playing this than I have in a long time. EDIT - GR20, not T20.

Did he bring you in to T7 to kill it without telling you?
