There aren't really that many fire skills for the wizard and meteor feels the best to me. Other options are arcane orb with scortch rune, which has such a narrow range it's hard to use, or shock pulse where you do that ridiculous jumping.
Well I now have a level 70 legendary cloak and a level 70 set helm for a Demon Hunter that I found with my Wizard. So that pretty much answered the question of what I should take to 70 next. Was able to get her to level 33 last night.
Good way to level alts, b/c honestly I don't feel like playing and finding low level legs at this point, is to run rifts with your buddy using your main or a lvl 70 character and switch after the rift is done before you speak to the rift guardian. You get a ton of exp for your alt after each rift.
My drops have been especially terrible the past few days. I think I've gotten 1 legendary in 3 days. Thanks Obama!
Hmm I used Meteor before I switched to Disintegrate, but it never felt like it had that sort of oomph that I needed in regard to the AP that it uses. However, I'm not sure what rune I was using with it since that was so long ago. Disintegrate was defintely a lot better when I added the convergence rune. Without it, the beam is just too darned small for clearing out large packs of mobs! What I normally do is run past most of my enemies, which slows them down via Frost Armor, turn around, and blast them all as they end up forming a huge line behind me!
Although, I am keeping an eye on switching to fire though. I got another one of those arcane absorption amulets last night on my Wizard, and I think it has +fire on it as well. I really wasn't kidding about the game dropping hints!
I've only got two more toons left to get to 70! :awe:
Ah, I got a 2H legendary intellect sword as my free Malthael legendary -- mind you, this was on my Monk -- which also has -level requirement. I've been using that since level 55, and it's done pretty well for me so far. Part of me feels weird using The Grandfather as a Wizard, and I've been tempted to switch to a more "Wizard-like" gear setup. However, if that will hurt me, I probably should ignore it.
Although, my AP can (and has) definitely hit 0 while in a higher difficulty Rift.
On T2, I normally get 18-22.5M xp for completing a rift. If I were to bring in a level 1 alt, would he instantly get that much XP as well?
There's wave of force with the appropriate rune as well.There aren't really that many fire skills for the wizard and meteor feels the best to me. Other options are arcane orb with scortch rune, which has such a narrow range it's hard to use, or shock pulse where you do that ridiculous jumping.

I found thunderfury for my monk doing normal cache runs. Ghom dropped it. Still have no luck with those cache boxes though. No ring or helm
Has anyone gotten anything good from the tyrael loot boxes? Mine seem to only contain a couple gems, couple blues, couple yellows and maybe a yellow recipe. Mainly just stuff to go over and vendor for gold.
That rift leveling for alts an interesting idea, I'll have to try that.
Obama was good to me last night. Got a like 3 legendaries in about 5 minutes. Two from one cache and one was a Fulminator. One of them was a 70 set item for a Demon Hunter that I got on my wizard, but still!
1H + Source will almost always be better than any 2H for a wizard.
I wouldn't worry about 1H + Source draining your AP faster since your DPS should be higher and will kill mobs faster.

Obama was equally as good to me as I got a few legendaries as well. Although, I was playing a lower level toon, so they're only so good for so long.
Always thought it would be a cool idea if you could level a legendary. So you get a nice set of boots at 40, instead of trashing them you can take it to the Mystic at 70, pay mats/gold and all the stats re-roll to level 70 versions one time.
