SolicShooter Wrote:So I got this game a few weeks ago. Just finished nightmare mode and was surprised to hear you could select what spells you want on youtube because I had some trouble at diablo himself. Really annoying that I've to find that out when I'm pineappleing level 50. Anyways I've never delved into the diablo series much, so some questions
1) What should I do with stuff I find? For now I just dissassemble everything blue and yellow that I don't use and put it in storage. I heard magic find was important so items with that I keep in storage. I'm a wizard by the way.
2) Does the weapon matter? Like do I get some penalty if I use a sword as a mage?
3) What stats are exactly important on wizards? Intelligence seems to be for damage and maybe for arcane power regen? Vitality for health and the rest is useless?
4) Should I focus on crit chance? certain spells seem to benefit heavily from it. I didn't even knew mages could crit since I was still used to maple where they needed sharp eyes...
5) Is this so called auction house I keep hearing about important? I never really entered it as I was kinda just looking to play alone for awhile since I was tired of dealing with others at League of Legends.
6) What follower is best suited for a wizard? I get the templar now constantly because he saves my ass a ton.
7) How much do you die on average as a wizard? I sometimes die like 4 or 5 times facing an elite pack and I feel kinda bad about it XD Let it be noted that I only used mirror image and diamond skin because I didn't know yet you could change spells.
8) I got this orangey item from diablo at normal, but the stats kinda suck badly. Should I keep it? It's like the only orange thing I found so far...
9) Can I view a skills damage somewhere? I was using disintegrate a ton because I liked how fast it could kill objects with the extra beam rune, but after a youtube video I saw how much more damage arcane orb did...
Sure I can think of more later, but this'll do for now. Thanks in advance for anyone that will take the time to anwser my questions
1) You should pretty much sell everything you find to NPC unless it's really good. What constitutes really good would depend on what level you are. Generally when you're below 60 anything with main stat + vit and +exp + movement speed is decent.
2) Doesn't matter. The big number DPS on the weap matters the most, then attack speed, socket, crit dmg and stats.
3) Depends on your build. Before lv60 I'd say just get as much int and vit as possible. When you're 50+ close to 60 you can start focus on some specific build. Critical mass wizard is the current popular build among wizards so crit chance and AP on crit should be your priority (if that's your choice of build).
4) Yes at a certain point main stat (int for you) and weapon dmg will only increase your DPS so much. You pretty much need crit if you want to further increase your damage. Crit is also used for a variety of things such as AP on crit. If you get AP on crit on your helm/source/wand and you have high crit, you basically won't run out of AP ever.
5) AH is half the game. Or more than half the game if you like to merchant. It's where all your gear would be coming from unless you like your game really really hard. Usually you can find gears that are miles better than anything you can find yourself for really cheap. You should also sell anything good you find that you don't use yourself on the AH.
6) Below 60 templar is pretty good. After 60 you should probably change to enchantress since she can increase your armor and atk speed.
7) Vary from person to person obviously.
8) Orange things are legendary. The best gears in the game are legendary. Though a lot of the times they can suck too. It's luck of the draw really.
9) Tool tips? You might want to look over the options menu. For any game or software the very first thing I'd do is look at the options menu. This way you don't miss stuff like elective mode and advanced tool tips. You can also check Blizzard's website. They have very detailed guides on everything. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/class/wizard/active/
