So should I not be running torment right out of 70? Been finishing them but definitely have some deaths along the way on the poor ole wizard. Only at like 135k attack and1 level 70 legendary but figured increased drop rate on torment? Just threw together a completely new build compared to what I used to get to 70; leverages shock pulse (arcane rune w/ +arc power on hit), Hydra (arcane version with 2 items+ hydra), meteor (arcane version), ice nova (short cool down rune), and ice armor (proc ice nova rune).
Basically the hydra keeps constant damage on while I am running my ass off and I can spam meteor's hard and then refresh with pulse. I have a few items with + pulse damge as well. Need more + arcane damage but have like 15%. Its doing alright considering I'm probably under geared for this shit. I'm using a + slow specialization on all arcane as well and 2 more defensive speciation's to try and stay alive.
Oh lastly I have Arcane...wtf its called but the long CD one with a rune giving 3560% when you trigger it. That is my elite killer and drops the health down fairly well. Once I get more arcane ability i'll switch to the static 22% increase rune but for now it works well enough. Some elites just rape face though. I had someone's nemesis pop (only 2nd time) right on my first damn torment level attempt IN THE MIDDLE of a fight with 3 blue's and a yellow boss....was not happy. Had him down to 60% and my arcane ability was off CD in like 5 secs to drop some boom and I got caught.
