| Please don't ask me to google it because I have and I have not received a satisfactory answer. Or perhaps I am just a little slow. I'm by no means a noobie when it comes to this game, so I apologize in advance for a question that I should already know the answer to. I've been doing OK with my characters both on PC and console. On PC, I have a 60 barbarian lvl 8 paragon and 60 DH no paragon. On the PS3, I have a 60 wizard lvl 9 paragon. Currently, I'm working on the console. For a while I was using Disintegrate as my main skill along with Magic Weapon, Eletrocute, and Archon as my champion/elite killer. I have used this successfully through Inferno(Hard) and once I hit 100k damage at the end of Hell level, I think I only died once or twice the rest of the way. As I attempted the Master levels, I quickly noticed that my current build had a few flaws. The biggest ones being the massive increase of the enemy health, the inferior total health of my character, and the drain that Disintegrate had on my Arcane power leaving my helpless. So, I looked up a few builds and somewhat settled on the skills Blizzard, Shock Pulse, and Hydra. Along with Teleport, Diamond Skin and Energy Armor. Here's a link tohttp://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#blQiOX!Zfg!bbYbYa. Now I can play on Master IV and do relatively well. It took a while to get used to the strategy of running away, placing a Hydra in the way, and blasting Blizzard, but, I have to tell you, it works very well. I did a Keywarden run in the Dahlgur Oasis last night and, although it wasn't easy by any means, but I didn't die once. And more importantly, the bastard dropped the key. So, after all this bologna, get to the damn point, right? Perhaps I'm being a bit picky, but I would like to solo Inferno Master V. I haven't paid much attention to the exactness of the math behind my build, which is pretty amazing actually given the fact that I have soloed Inferno on such a high level. I'm guessing if I what my character to be elite and comfortably farm Master V Inferno, I'm going to have to start paying attention. I understand the idea of effective health pool or effective hit points and that the ratio of armor to all resist should be 10 to 1. One of my questions is how to calculate or find All Resist? Is it adding all of the "% All Resistance" stat given by the gear stats? Do you add all of the Resistances together?(Cold, Fire, Poison, Arcane, Lightning) Do you add both of them together? Here are the resources I've been looking at to try and figure this out(So yes, I know how to google. I prefer bing lately actually): http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5836324621 http://rubensayshi.github.io/d3-ehp-calculator/#intro http://www.ign.com/wikis/diablo-3/Wizard_Build_by_AlexbroPA The stats for wizard character are as follows: Damage - 95.1k Armor - 3205 Health - 148k Strength - 76 Dexterity - 473 Intelligence - 3267 Vitality - 2504 Attacks per second - 1.22 Critical hit chance - 16.50% Critical hit damage - +326.00% Dodge Change - 19.3% Damage Reduction - 51.65% Physical Resistance - 594 Cold Resistance -594 Fire Resistance - 594 Lightning Resistance - 658 Poison Resistance - 671 Arcane/Holy Resistance - 716 Crowd Control Reduction - 37.23% Missile Damage Reduction - 4.00% Melee Damage Reduction - 20.00% Thorns - 2116.00 Maximum Life - 148,578 Total Life Bonus - +69% Life per Second - 1422.00 Life per Kill - 977.00 Life per Hit - 350.00 Health Globe Healing Bonus - 8055.00 Bonus Gold/Globe Radius - 6.00 Maximum Arcane Power - 110 Arcane Regeneration/Second - 11 Movement speed - +25% Gold Find - +305% Magic Find - +277% If I were to add all of the "Resist All Elements" attributes given by all my gear, I would come up with 267. I guess I'm also looking for suggestions on how to improve. I feel like I can continue and do ok, but I'm not sure I completely understand what I could add to improve or ultimately, what I can work towards in order to make my character elite. If I had a general idea of character building, then this could also help me with my other characters as well. If you have read this far, thanks for reading. If I get zero responses, I could just play my character as is, because it really is a decent character. Just looking to further tweak it. Thank you for your time. | ||

| I moved this over to the console discussion since it's more appropriate over here. I'll pass it along that it would be helpful to see a total for your +All Resist from items to the console team. If I had a Wizard with those stats I'd be adding +All Resist, and +Critical Hit Chance whenever I could find it, but that's just my two cents. You might want to ask around in the Wizard forum for some advice, since there are a bunch of friendly and knowledgeable folks over there. | ||
