New Wizard build - DMO Missile - Lazy NoSkill GR90 build

General Discussion
1

I really wanted to give a go to those new seasonal goodie, like updated DMO and Angelic Crucible’s Magic Missile power…
Also. I am not really one of those leaderboard type, I like the easy no skill builds… :slight_smile:

First the build:

Compare it to Wudijo’s DMO Frozen Orb
Diablo 3 Season 27 DMO Frozen Orb Wizard Guide - Maxroll.gg

Let’s do some Math to compare the damage:

My build is single target - Magic Missile, and does
2.3 - Base Damage

  • 1.5 * 3 - Fragment of Destiny
  • 20 - Angelic Crucible
  • 6 - Mirror Ball
  • 2 - Depth Digger
    = 2484 - times base weapon damage

Wudijo’s - Frozen build
4.35 - base Damage

  • 5.5 * 2 - Unstable Specter
  • 5 - Angelic Crucible <<==== this only happen once every ~~~ 2 seconds?
  • 5 - Triumvirate
  • 1.25 * 4.5 - Wizard Spike
    = 6,728 - times base weapon damage
    However:
  1. it’s an area damage so it’s better that way,
  2. one doesn’t the 4 orbs all the time, when spammed non stop it does about 2,691 damage (x2 instead of x5 for orb)!
  3. magic missile does lingering fire damage, so it’s probably even better against single target

So my build is overall competitive in term of raw damage, though single target (I mean multiple target, but then the damage is spread around).

Now, how does it work:
when entering a rift, press 2,3,4 to start familiar, magic weapon, storm armor.

then just walk around nuking enemy - left click - at the edge of the screen (Power hungry trigger at 30 yard, which 1.5 time the radius of the slow time bubble around you), when enemies are hit, their slow time allow you to dance teleport all over the screen - right click - to avoid most damage. Shield cancel the rest so that squirt’s bonus is always on. And also thanks to crown and primus and all the set bubble, most damage and monsters is easily avoided.

When there are no enemy and no bubble, I used wormhole, oculus and 50% cooldown reduction so I can teleport twice every 3.5 seconds, which is okayish, I guess.

This is 10 now.

For Frozen Orb, this is actually 19.0. Frozen Orb has 950% tooltip weapon damage, but a properly placed Frozen Orb actually hits for 2x that. 315% for shard damage + 635% for passthrough damage + explosion damage. If you manage to land the orb right on the enemy, they take all three sources of damage for a total damage that’s double the tooltip damage.

EDIT: The double explosion from Unstable Scepter does only apply to the explosion portion of this, so Unstable Scepter isn’t a strict doubling of Frozen Orb damage, it’s more like 1.5x. Frozen Orb hits for 315% + 635% + 950% = 1900% without Unstable Scepter and 315% + 635% + 2*950% = 2850% with Unstable Scepter double explosions.

This is 13. 1 + 400% x 3 stacks.

So Magic Missile is about half as strong as you calculated, and Frozen Orb is 10x stronger than you calculated.

Magic Missile is fun for T16 and lowish tier GR speeds. But damage-wise, Frozen Orb is much stronger on the high end.

mmm… It’s good to know… just did a GR106 and it was slow… needs more damage! :smiley:
Anyway I tweaked this build a bit (Shame of Delsere, Aether Walker) and this is my new T16 bounty and rift run… so safe, so easy, so quick! :slight_smile:

Do you have a D3planner link of your setup?

I’m planning on making a DMO wizard very similar to your setup (after I finish making a strafe DH). I’m glad to know it works for T16 bounties/speed GRs.

You might want to hold off on it if you are already using another build.

I still have not been able to find the actual cause. Best I can think of is the system getting overwhelmed.

That said, it is quite amusing when the that bug does not crop up and the whole screen suddenly has Slow Time bubbles spread across it. I personally think Conflagrate is the best one to use due to its piercing.

Tell me about it! Its annoying.
I’ve seen it happen on single targets, multi-targets. My first thought was maybe there was a limit to how many bubbles I could have out, but testing that came up negative. Then I thought maybe it has to do with the amount of particles on screen, again came up negative… its inconsistent. It does seem to have some issues if an enemy is near a cliff, or off the edge of the map. Basically areas you wouldn’t be able to cast slow time at anyway.

Also this build clears higher than 90 easily. I have barely any ancients, and no infusions. Clearing 100+
I can imagine it will cap off somewhere in the 110-120 range.

Mostly I dropped the Occulus (TP cooldown is not really an issue) in favor of The Furnace and have Fire damage on the bracer and missile damage on the belt. Here you go:

I had this mostloy happening when I had the first rune (charged blast), seems fine with Conflagrate rune, at least for me! :slight_smile:

I did 106 with it, with no ancient, no augments, level 25 gems. But it was slow.

Yes, yes… but this build is easiest no skill. Only left click needed! :slight_smile:

A few suggestions:

  1. Use The Shame of Delsere instead of Crown of the Primus.
  2. Use Elemental Exposure passive instead of Glass Cannon. Ideally you want cold,
    lightning or arcane damage on your weapon.
  3. Since you only do lower GR, replace BotS with Zei’s.

Interesting, I might give it a go.

I tried Shame of Delsere before and it wasn’t as good, but I also did other change - and also I had no rune selected on slow time, worth testing again! :slight_smile:

Ooops I realized you asked for Bounty build, not the more optimized higher GR build…
Anyway using latest optimized build
Diablo III Character Planner (maxroll.gg)

You just need to change the 2 cube slots to Aether Walker and Shame of Delsere! Hope that helps! :slight_smile:

Damn, gonna try this. Will try to build one this evening after work. or during lunch break (the advantage of working from home)

Magic missle LOD took too long to gear up.

Is the bounty build better compare to the Tal metoer?

15

I haven’t tested but I would say yes. Magic missile is instant and has auto targeting. Whereas Meteor has a little delay and falls randomly.

16

Hey!
I just did a GR107 with Shame of Delsere, was much easier! :smiley:

Unfortunately my weapon does poison damage and I am low on crucible… but it’s another good tip! :slight_smile:

Even regular DMO with frozen orb would be slow at that level. Takes time to get up there. Need infusions, ancients, and high gems.

I see I see I see. I will try this out https://d3.maxroll.gg/d3planner/614888201 and some other variations as soon as I have the gear for it.

having a blast with LOD Missiles arcane rune while wearing mostly trash gear. i think i’m going to fill out DMO missiles but Firebird looks really wizardly cool too.

I guess LOD Missile might be almost just as fun, but popping up all these slow times bubble all around is quite satisfying! :slight_smile:
(Except when the monster is bugged for some reason, and no bubble appear, which easily happen once every 5 minutes…)

Although, might have to try it out too, I have a primal Aquila Cuirass to show off! :smiley:
