any tips or help are welcome, criticism is fine, not flame though. I am trying to find a strong solid build. Still looking for items, but i want to be able to go higher than torment 2 without dying horribly. I play hardcore mostly, not as fun with normal. Comments are greatly appreciated!

First, get a rorg
Then do crafting. The best crafted sets for hc wizard are:
2 aughilds items (elite dmg bonus and dmg reductions)
2 asheara items (res + life)
2 captain crimson items (resource red, cdr, and res)
Pick 2 of the sets. Keep your belt.

Get 3 sockets in chest and 2 in pants and put your best topazs in

Add lightning % damage to bracers and Amulet. Do not trade crit chance to get it.

This should give your more life, resistances and a ton damage.

In your build switch archon to teleport. hc wizards survive because they keep an escape skill handy.
I'm not a fan of dominance because it wears off in big fights when you need it most. I would switch to paralysis


I still have plans to level up a Hardcore Wizard this Season, and I found this advice to be helpful. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing the insight, EmmetOtter, and good luck with your Wizard, Vezz!
