I wouldn't put it past them, they have been slow as shit with any and all D3 patches don't know why that would change.

Archon takes your highest +elemental skill and turns all attacks into that element whilst in Archon form so no, it doesn't trigger all stacks.
Looking at your gear, it has improved from last time but still need some major corrections (this is assuming you carry on playing fire spec)
Your chest.. well, you know what needs to be done. Also, the stats you are ideally looking for in a chestpiece is main stat, armor (because it can roll up to 596(?) on a chest but 398 on other pieces), vit/all resist. Ideally all four if you aim for a Tal Rasha chest. Vyr can only roll up to 3 primary stats though whilst Tal Rasha can roll 4. Obviously 3 sockets is a must.
Carry on trying to find a String of Ears or even a Harringtons belt if you are looking to break into T6.
Arcane Torrent on your boots is a wasted stat since you are not using that spell. Reroll that to Armor.
Reduced resource costs on your shoulders is a wasted stat since your build doesn't require it. +%life is probably the worse of the defensive stats. Consider crafting new shoulders giving main stat, vit, all resist and armor/cooldown reduce depending on build.
Gear suggestions to work towards (dependant on RNG obviously):
Vyr gauntlets instead of Magefists (main stat, trifecta)
Tal Rasha chest instead of Vyr chest since Tals come with a guaranteed +atk speed stat and that is good for your MM build. (main stat, vit, +atk speed, +armor)
Aughlid's helm instead of Tal Rasha helm (main stat, vit, crit chance and socket - bonus awesome if secondary stat comes with +reduce duration of control impairing effects)
Strongarm bracers instead of Aughlids bracer (+fire element, main stat, vit, crit chance)
SoJ to replace Bal-Kathos

This is sadly true.
I think my record T1 clear time was under 4mins.
Wand of Woh build is so specialised that you have to sacrifice a lot of stats to get a decent CDR which Woh builds depend upon whilst at the same time you have to delicately balance offence and defensive stats since you are effectively a melee character but with no shield. Lots of affixes can kill you on T6 even when wearing Unity if you play wrong like fire chains, fire bombs and electrify.
That's why I don't often run T6 rifts. I prefer to play on T5 since it is so much more smoother, less stressful and T6 in general is not that more different in terms of drops than T5.
I do all my mat farming and bounties on T6 though and generally don't have much problem with it aside from a occasional death.
It hasnt even hit PTR yet, and they are hinting at it for the end of this monthmaybe. After it hits PTR expect 2 months of testing. Then expect a few weeks of them just dragging their heels for some fucking reason.

Playing Crusader is making this game fun again. Had some decent luck and am slowly advancing in torments on him (at T3 now), as opposed to all my other characters which are pretty much forever locked into T1. I actually need to target farm for RoRG and crafting sets. And gold/brimstones need to just rain on me more.

Anyone mind giving me a hand on where to head on my WD, only just started playing D3 again and started a new WD, not long got it to 70 and my current build/gear lets me clear t1 pretty easy enough. But I have no clue on what I should be aiming for in terms of stats etc out side of Int.
Also do people just do chain rifts now and bounties when they run out of Riftstones?

There is a community called Rift it Forward you can search for. You open 1 rift and then before boss fill group and someone else will open a fresh one.
I'm in the same boat as Wanand. I just started on my WD this week, and so far I've gotten an eclectic mix of gear. Not sure what build to work towards. Right now I'm doing a basic pet one, but just got an SOJ and one Jade piece.....

Also, wasn't sure regarding TMF vs RROG.. Which is better for a WD? I'm using the TMF simply because I have so few good set pieces....

You need the head piece to start. Getting the pet damage head piece literally raises your ability to handle Torments by two levels. The ring depends on your set pieces.
Yeah, I've been running Rifts and solely buying head pieces trying to nab a Mask of Jeram. No joy. I've finally got a good chunk of free time, so hoping to get some good drops over the next few weeks.
Just got a second piece of Jade to drop. Slowly nabbing gear. Still playing around with skills. The WD ones are fun.
Been hitting a dead end getting upgrades lately, I know some items for the sets I have are better than others, crafted some around what I had. Also planned on getting the RRoG but no luck for that at all.

I average one every 2 hours doing Act I split bounties on T1 or T2.
Send me a tell ingame, I'll be glad to run them and if I get one its all yours.
RROG if you want to play Jade, TMF if you're doing pet. Pet is much easier to gear for since it's only 3 pieces (4 if you count the weapon but it's not necessary) and you don't have to give up as many pieces that might be better than what your Jade piece is. It's also better for survivability simply because you'll have tons of pets taking hits for you.
Thanks. I'm just trying to be patient and use the best spec via trial and error based on the gear I have. I've pillage my Wizard, and the WD has a far, far easier time in Rifts.
I'd like to go pet build, but my main goal would be to get a T6 build/geared WD. I can do T4 after a week, so I'm hoping I can get a few nice RNG rolls and make the jump.
If you are 70 as a WD you can probably do T1. I don't have any hard numbers, but generally if you go with the base pet build, you can wing it pretty easily.
I found split bounties were great for gearing up my Wizard, but with the increased legendary drop rates and the nerf on normal bounty drops I don't think it's that great anymore. I could be wrong, just my anecdotal opinion.
