Wait for 2.0.5 patch to come. Torment specific legendaries will have a chance to be in bounty bags which is what I am counting on to get mine. I am the same as you... torment 279 and have only had 1 piece of Vyr's drop.

I have some really nice reapers wraps but I don't see why people like them. Am I missing something?

I'm not positive (as I just got mine) but having health globes restore XX% of the primary resource is pretty sweet.

Yeah the health globes restore resource makes farming so much faster.

It depends on your build and play style. If you spam Arcane Orb/Arcane Torrent it can increase your DPS. (Sorry for only having wizard examples.)

IMO it works as more of a stepping stone legendary for new characters still decked out in act V yellows.

I managed to get the Board Walkers pattern and legendary material in the same night so I was pretty damn excited about that...but the stats kinda sucked (I lost some toughness but that 12% movement speed is nice). Basically I learned not to expect too much from crafted legendaries.

Don't tell me that! I've started getting some material drops lately and I was hoping that they would really boost my DPS.

My dps (pre-buffs) is only 165k. How are people getting into the millions?!?!?

Further to that point, I now have legendaries that up my fire damage by 37%.

Is there a good fire build for wizard? Most of the fire skills seem lame.

I wish it was 37% arcane dmg.....

It'll probably be a decent boost for you depending what you already had. I was wearing some really nice boots before so it was more of a lateral move than anything.

Either way my damage is pretty low still (300k) and my toughness is probably too high (Never in danger of dying in Torment 1 except when I get suicidal against arcane or fire chain packs) so my experience may not be the same as some.

Just looked at your gear, use the enchanter. You don't have crit chance. Swap the miscellaneous stuff (critical hits give x arcane power, cooldown reduction by x) for crit chance.

Ok thanks. I'll save up the mats for that.

No problem, here is my character: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/A.../hero/42373579

With that build I have just about 1.1 mil DPS when buffed. However I sacrificed a lot of toughness for that, I find it's important to manually dodge projectiles and AOEs.

Yeah, that's a lot better than me :P

I guess I'm farming for enchant mats for a while. I've been spending all of my Death's Breaths to get my blacksmith up to level 12.

I'm hoping to run some rifts with a buddy over the next few days. Hopefully that increases my reserves (and gets me some good drops).

I just realized last night that I had one of these, probably for a few weeks. But I can't even remember the last time I bought pots anyway. I'm pretty much invincible in T1 so I rarely use them lol. Maybe it'll be more handy when they start tiering drops for T2 and up.

I haven't messed around a whole lot with wizards, but seems like arcane build is the way to go at the moment. I think you're better off saving up your fire gear for a Demon Hunter. That's pretty much my plan once I get sick of playing my WD. I'm actually surprised I'm not yet. I've poured lots of hours into him and still not sick yet. And once I get enough gear to go super pet build, I'll probably play him even more lol.

I have about 75% extra Fire (maybe more) and over 1.1 K DPS plus meteor and black hole + on gear.

I use any of the fire Primary (Non in electrocute) all are meh for different situations. Fire Black Hole, Meteor Shower (Can use Molten Impact for big hits)

Can also sub in Fire Orb or the Fire Wave of Force.

Meteor Shower Crits for 8 Mil PER meteor. So black hole, spam 3 meteor showers (7 X 3 X 8 mil possible) and everything is dead

I found Fire Orb fun, always trying to get the mobs to line up so they stay on the DoT.

How does it increase your DPS? Just because you can cast more?
