I think it’s widely accepted Wizards have the worse legendaries, but ES and DW are in a league of their own. I think they will have to change DW to damage of the channeled spells-only, so the focus is on the channeled spell and not what ES is doing. That will fix both legendaries, but…that’s a 320% multiplier gone. At this point, Hydra and Meteor builds are non-viable now and I don’t really have a good way to fix them except upping base damage and set multipliers. Meteor base damage can come up, for sure. You could make Disintegrate builds viable by adding something to Slorak’s, and Light of Hope could do the same for Ray of Frost. No item exists for Arcane Torrent, which is problematic.
-
Meteor as I said the base damage can slightly come up, but there is already two items devoted to meteor. Grand Vizier’s multiplier could easily be up’d to 600% to fix Meteor builds.
-
Hydra builds could be fixed by upping the multiplier on Serpent Sparker or damage of Hydra itself, which is rather low.
The big difficult to solve problem is still reverse archon. The archon damage multiplier needs to be archon-spells ONLY.
Also, it would be cool if Deathwish worked with channeling Disintegration Wave. I mean, in Archon we are melee classes as Wizards. Wierd. Channelling being the best makes sense if you devote a slot to Deathwish.
