I do better once I stopped focusing on IAS. You can get better +crit +int items that are far cheaper and provide better practical DPS rates.

phnx - you have better stats than me, and I solo siegebreaker runs.

I used this build from Act II untill I killed Diablo: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#alXROS!aYU!ZbabcZ

32k HP
500-600 All Resistance
2.26 attacks per second
40-50k Damage

Since my gear has gotten better gradually during my progress these numbers are not quite exact. Using a 1.46 speed and 852 DPS 1hand Hammer plus a source off-hand.

dno how you guys are doin SB runs, ive got 35k health, 38k dps and over 700 res to all, physical over 800 and struggle to get past the bridge of korsikk, no build works, the herald of pestilence are a joke, nothing works against fast , teleport or vortex champions

Whith that stats you shouldn't have any problem for sure.

I can actually say I'm farming SB and Azmodan with 40k dps, 36k hp and 350 resist all. 45 mins runs, I die yes but I can make it well!

For fast mobs is difficult that's true but some of them depending of the abilities are not a problem.

Vortex and teleport is doable with teleport and keeping distance with them, they are not a problem, illusionist as passive is the key in my opinion and more with your res that can hold more than 3 hits!

For the record: I only have +60% attack speed :P

And for another record: You clearly didn't get the "every stat" part.

Bashwright, could you post a picture of all your gear? :D

Some other guy posted a spreadsheet here on the wiz forums to calculate your dps and what stat would benefit you the most.

I suggest you use it :)

I am in a similar situation. My wiz is pretty beefy with 44K damage, 38K life and even with resistance between 600 and 700, String of ears reducing melee damage by 20%, other gear bring melee damage reduction to around 42%, and energy armor (%life hit), I still get destroyed in Act 3 inferno. It costs too much gold to play due to repairs.

One thing I have noticed though is MF seems to be counter-intuitive.

When I was first able to walk through Inferno, I would buff my MF to about +265% and still didn't find good items regularly. While I was getting 2-4 rares per elite, very few were level 63.

But after I was able to deal out around 44K in damage, I can go back to Act I and find level 63 items quite often, with only around 120% MF ( that includes NV stack). I think that the amount of time it takes for you to kill an elite might be more important that really high MF. I don't know if this is the case, but it seems to be for me.

Read my comment there don't focus to much on dps, sure if my wiz had 900k damage my daughter could probably do inferno blind folded...
