    Good to see some different builds finally coming out of D3. I stopped playing several months ago and now I may pick it back up to try it out.

    This is an awesome guide! I started using this on PTR, and I was cutting through everything. I went on live and used it, and it still did pretty well. Once the buffs come through, it's going to destroy everything!

    Nice video, man. Good to see people thinking outside of the box with builds. I stopped playing Diablo 3 last year, and had a CM Wizard that worked pretty good. I plan on coming back to this game to see how it's doing, and maybe working with this build.
    Cheers.

    I love this build!!!!! One thing I found that I wanted to report that might help out, or at least offer a different perspective. I found using the gear you suggested was causing me to lose 100k dmg over the gear I had. So I kept my gear and your build and swapped out frost hydra for venom, and wow.............. With the blizzard slowing them down + black ice + the venom on the ground from the hydra, it amazing. I am now able to breeze through MP7 and can handle all the way up to MP10. Doubt I could farm any higher than 7 to be effective, but just thought I would float this out there as another option on an amazing build.

    Using the build now, after getting back from a break (since last summer lol), and it worked like a charm bro.. thanks for helpin out!

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm glad you're enjoying this. With Black Ice buffs coming in 1.0.8, the build will only be stronger

  • @Niemo3412
    @Niemo3412 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this build. Its fun and keeps u on your toes as well. Thank you you for sharing it. Currently running it on mp6 and 7. Thx again....look forward to more guides.

  • @tristanduchart9220
    @tristanduchart9220 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a great build. i currently farm mp7 and am having a really fun time. I am not noticing the Black Ice portion of the build so much. I am thinking about playing around with that skill but this is awesome!
    thanks,

  • @myname3960
    @myname3960 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    THANK YOU!! They don't know how good this is, not only that; but they haven't gotten bored with CM Archon yet. I don't see them being bold enough (or intelligent enough) to come up with a fresh new build and have the balls to put it up for review like Colony did. Tools...

  • @JoximusARTpage
    @JoximusARTpage 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm now using a bit modified version of this build.Thx for inspiring me to use the ice wizard..... thats my main build now! :D

  • @XFuturnalX

    Good job man. Looking forward for the budget build. Will be interesting.

  • @myname3960
    @myname3960 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    First off, good on you for doing something different, second: good on you for doing it well (and backing it up with solid statistics and research)! The ppl that are insulting you have either not been playing the game long (and so are either not bored yet or have no idea what they are talking aboooot) or are fearful of looking weak to a bunch of gaming nerds (nerds like themselves). This build is good for farming, but also (and more importantly) great for having fun. Great job, keep it up, thnx.

  • @0mgJP
    @0mgJP 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is just very nice to see new builds :)

  • @Opticpain
    @Opticpain 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This build works very well on mp5+ with my wiz sitting around 170k dps. Only thing I need to really improve is my pickup radius. Since I literally have to walk over them to pick them up, it might help some. It really shines in huge mobs when you kill one and the AoE from black ice starts a huge chain reaction. Thank you for posting the video.

  • @gargus87
    @gargus87 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    in the options you have something called "elective mode", tick it and you'll be able to use any skill combination you want

  • @CTHULUTAUR
    @CTHULUTAUR 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    cool build, ill try it out. i would probably switch out the hydras for frost nova so locking down elites and killing them would be a bit easier. i like new and creative builds and i miss when people used to come up with fun builds instead of just being concerned about being the fastest/best farmer. keep up the good work

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    On a hardcore character I would go for defensive items. Since you won't really be focused on speed runs (for obvious reasons) you probably won't need high APOC. Therefore, the Tal's set can be swapped out for armors with higher EHP value.
    I would also use diamond skin instead of teleport and go for another rune on storm armor instead of scramble.
    Cheers

  • @Ninjabob568
    @Ninjabob568 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    hey man i really enjoy this build. loved cold sorc in d2 so this is right up my alley. but i did notice one thing. this is just a personal preference but the skill meteor with the comet rune work amazing in lue of frost hydra. other than that i love this build man

  • @Dr.seb.f
    @Dr.seb.f 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice build. The frostburns gave me a good laugh as well XD, good reason to use them though if you can't afford crazy gloves. Would have been nice to see the build in action on a higher MP to see how good it really is, seeing as over 100k dps is a bit of an overkill for MP0 :P
    Doesn't matter, will just have to try this out myself if it does go through to live 1.0.7 with the current buffs.
    Anyway, nice video!

  • @JohnnyMcmoney666
    @JohnnyMcmoney666 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    hey, nice work there...like the idea of concentrating on the ice-damage...
    i played around a bit with this one and i found that swapping glass cannon for astral presence works nice too...i let the famililar with vigoron do the mana regen work do...

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks! I'm just tired of running archon and CM. I guess I'm willing to give up the extra 37 seconds this build adds to my runs for a little bit of diversity. Also, I've now swapped in wormhole to speed things up a bit.

  • @CausticTides
    @CausticTides 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    finally something new and original :)
    i rly like the what you did here

  • @Xn2th3blue
    @Xn2th3blue 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    If it does the same amount of damage, but over a longer period of time, than yes the damage per second would be lower. It takes that extra 2 seconds to deal the same amount of weapon damage. The primary reason that anyone would want to extend the blizz duration is to prolong the chilling effect.

  • @Jamie95C
    @Jamie95C 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Go to options -> gameplay -> check the box which says elective mode (6th option on the right side)

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't checked this on MP10 yet, but so far this build is extremely viable on mp3-4. I'll be checking the build on higher MPs in the coming days.

  • @tax_e
    @tax_e 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice alternative to the Archon or CM builds. Don't think the description of No more Archon/CM Wiz is accurate, but I like what you did nevertheless. :D I have tested this myself and I would want the 20 APOC. Good stuff. :D

  • @peetgrobler8546
    @peetgrobler8546 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually a pretty nice build. Now able to do mp6-7 instead of mp3 tops with my self-found-gear-wiz. Thx for the vid man. And ignore the haters, simple minds are always scared and dismissive of new ideas.

  • @fakewalka
    @fakewalka 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cold mage, my favorite mage! I've tried similar build before but it wasn't working. I hope with the boost of blizzard and the otherwise useless frostburns it would be possible to play around with some frost spells. Frostburns now remind me of the POE uniques, they might not be so good overall but they work great for a specific build. Maybe Blizzard should learn a thing or two from GGG. Good vid, keep up! Regards

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello there!
    I'm glad you are enjoying my videos and the build I have come up with.
    However, I'd like to point out that "rape" is not funny, nor is using the word "rape" in a positive connotation something I support.
    Please keep this in mind moving forward and help make the online gaming community a safer place.
    Cheers!

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I still use this build and it will only get stronger when 1.0.8 comes out (with the large buff to black ice)
    You'll be fine to farm paragon when you hit 60 with this build. The gear required for this is fairly reasonably priced. I go over stats and such in the video.
    Cheers

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'll be posting an mp5 video with examples of elite mobs....Basically, because I have quite a bit of pickup radius, I'm able to survive with very little trouble. I'm always on the move and always getting health globes.

  • @tjmD4th
    @tjmD4th 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Budget build that works for me. Thanks, bro!

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    sheet dps is something like 112k self buffed (spark flint and follower.) This video was MP0.

  • @TrueGuyT
    @TrueGuyT 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    i love this build, which provides a very safe game-play. those who choose critical mass build can die in a split sec of a failure, while this one is mega safe.
    i started using it myself and its awesome.

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Simple. It's a fresh take on a play style that has been stale and repetitive for quite some time. I'm able to farm at high mp levels and teleport around to skip trash without having to keep archon up. Thanks for watching

  • @t3mpl3guardian
    @t3mpl3guardian 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use an alternate build for mp5 farming I call the arcane samurai. It's pretty effective.

  • @Joshonator01
    @Joshonator01 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm liking this build more than any others. I have encountered a problem though. It uses a lot of Arcane Power and I don't have APOC. Which wand/orb/helm are you using? Right now I have Slorak's Madness/ Triumvirate/ Tal Helm. I'm not sure where I should get my APOC from.

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This set I believe cost around 50 mil total. Maybe more....I can't exactly remember anymore as I built it some time ago and also borrowed from my archon gear.

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The crit chance isn't really a problem. Attack speed is a cheap and superficial dps increase. I would much rather have the stats currently than increased attack speed (I've done tests.) I run 4pc tal's because of the cold dmg increase and the arcane regen. Basically I'm running oculus since I'm farming demonic essence (elites) and will swap tal's unwavering glare in for the off hand once I roll a beast crafted amulet.

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    no offense* but this build works pretty well at higher MPs. Had you actually paid attention to the video, and you most certainly did not, there is a link in the upper left corner (throughout the entire video mind you) of me farming mp5. I'm now farming mp7 and 8 with a few upgrades, and Black Ice is getting buffed in 1.0.8.
    Get on my level.

  • @Beav3rNinja
    @Beav3rNinja 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Saw your build like a week ago and I finally decided to try it about 20 min ago. I'm using gear for archon/cm. (no frostburn or anything.) However, this build owns hard. My dps is sitting at about 240k and I crush everything. The only trick is.. you have to play smarter. And I'm using blur instead of power hungry (because I have a lot of apoc.) I'm going to get some different gear with pickup, and a frostburn and then I will try to farm on my norm (either mp8 or 9.) and let you know how it goes.

  • @Quantumfluxfield
    @Quantumfluxfield 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    So fed up of the same old CM build, was great fun in the start but it's a boring way of wizard in my opinion - but then again sadly the most effective. But this sure is interesting, thanks for sharing

  • @JoximusARTpage
    @JoximusARTpage 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ray of frost
    *Base weapon damage increased from 215% to 280%
    *Black Ice,Ice patch weapon damage increased from 387% to 504%
    OMG These are HUGE buffs.......so awesome that they did this

    I don't make videos for just one person. Complain all you want, but at the end of the day I'd rather have a few people complain that it is "too long and you spent too long explaining" than "you didn't show enough"
    also why I added an annotation....just throwing that out there.

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    works in 1.0.6, but farm is much slower due to blizzard damage being much lower

  • @FunnySonnyDay
    @FunnySonnyDay 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    oh ok, because you kept talking about some spells dealt a lot more damage, it wouldve been nice to see the green numbers there. Also, what would the point of having the duration of blizzard be extended. Would it deal x% over a longer period of time (less dps), or would it be dealing the same amount of dps but for a longer time? either way, I dont see how having that affix on your gear is better than just recasting the spell.

  • @MarcusLeziria
    @MarcusLeziria 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gratulations it does work for mp5 farming even with round 90k. If you get 200k you can mp9 it :) Very simple and eficiente!

  • @karlchappell
    @karlchappell 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ok so i just tried your build on mp8. i can see this being viable if you have enough arcane power regen. Thanks for the build, ill see if i can refine it. im also over the archon/cm builds.

  • @robinlindqvist735

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Indeed. Everyone Can do this on MP0, but with about 120k dps (frostburns equipped) this is enough to efficiently farm mp3-4.

  • @Decalto35
    @Decalto35 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, i've never played Diablo 3 before and i'm considering getting it. The closest thing i've played is torchlight 2. I was wondering if Diablo 3 was also like it. Like a pretty short storyline and then after beating the main story it's just doing runs and getting rare drops and leveling up. is it like that? thanks.

  • @Tetsuou
    @Tetsuou 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Everyone here realizes this is a speed farming build which is done on mp0-1 and maybe 2-3 if you are bored yes? Making these mp0 comments irrevelant. I use a blizzard centered build and play it a bit differently than him, but on mp1 I fly through even faster than this and most archon builds i've seen and I only have around 133k dps buffed without the extra cold dmg, 45% crit hit chance, 20 apoc and it works like a charm. Blizzard builds do work. I also use a tal rasha's for blizzard.

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The set cost me around 50 mil I believe. Weapon and alternate off-hand included.

  • @Xenn000
    @Xenn000 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This build is awesome! I got everything for about 5m and my Buffed DPS is only 81k, but my weapon isn't good. My wiz just leveled to 60 at the start of Act 3 Hell and I can just face roll in MP 10. XD

    Is this build still used? and will it be as good as I think when 1.0.8 comes? My Wizard is 53 now.. so I'm new in Diablo.. :) can I use this build with crapy gear when I turn 60? or rather have Lgdry gear for this?

  • @FokiHun

  • @staticbeepbeep
    @staticbeepbeep 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Leveled wizz 2 days ago to 60. Made archon build and seriously I grew bored inside of 15 mins... Tried all builds that cross my mind and still can't find a build to keep me interested... Maybe thats because I outgeared pretty much everything and killed all the fun for myself... I got to 60 and already had 221k+ dps gear ready that I sniped out for less than 30 mil gold... Any suggestions what to play xD? Or is the class simply boring for my taste?

  • @LongerionPl

  • @Stevelogical
    @Stevelogical 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    honestly i liked the first run through up to inferno, and i loved the music and story, but if you didn't get in early on the rmah, there really is no reason to keep playing the game. i went back to WoW and raiding. at least there I can waste time with people who stick around.

  • @staticbeepbeep
    @staticbeepbeep 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not sure what way you play your alts but any one that can use google. Has ways to gain superb leveling items. Even on HC w/o rushing you will be level 60 in less than 15 hours gameplay. And that is around 5 days of casual gameplay. Ask on forums for full cain set people will give it away for free. And like I said with 2mil gold you will get from 1-60 you can buy 80k+ dps gear for any class and faceroll trough inferno easy. And people that don't enjoy repetitive runs won't enjoy d3 at all...

  • @staticbeepbeep
    @staticbeepbeep 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    No one said it's not farming. I just said that there are alot better games than D3 for that amount of money. I got my 450 ish hours out of it. And only reason I had that much because I always though that they're gonna fix itemization every next patch. But I was so wrong. Now they will probably delay that fix for future expansion packs. I leveled to 60 in less than 11 hours when it just came out. Now with reduced item level req items with 20k gold you can buy godlike items to get to 60 fast...

  • @leonaldobrum
    @leonaldobrum 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes. But!
    First, you build up your heroes (there are several categories of heroes and you can have a few in your account, so you can try more than one of them all).
    Second, it's a gear-oriented game. You either spend your whole life trying to pick up relevant items with tons of luck required or you go the auction house and spend money in there to acquire the good stuff. Yeah, it's all about gold

  • @Fungorrr
    @Fungorrr 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Doesn't extending blizzard duration lower its dps?
    If it's "XXX% weapon dmg over 5 seconds" and you make it "Same weapon dmg over 7 seconds" isn't that less dmg per tick?
    I've seen several arguments about this and others say it would just tick with its original consistency for longer making it a greater amount of damage by the end of the spell...
    Never really found a conclusion.

  • @thenoobistcolony
    @thenoobistcolony  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Damage is subpar and lacks control. I.E. I can keep enemies slowed with Black Ice. The damage is pretty awesome as well.
