Best Elemental Wizard Build - Thoughts?

yeah right and the skillsystem is so much like it used to be in diablo 2 ....

besides i doubt that there are other multiplicative stats other than skills itself , attributes got the rest covered , or are you implying that the 100% more dmg are exactly worth 100 Intelligence ?

Yeah but Virtuoso isn't exactly a skill, it's a passive. He's saying the 100% damage from virtuoso will be like item affixes (I think). They add a percentage of the base weapon damage. Whereas active skills like magic missile will deal a percentage of the actual weapon damage, after applying all the ED%. So if you have +100% ED from items, and +100% from virtuoso, you're doing triple damage. If you only have +100% ED from items, and use magic missile at 143% multiplicative, you're doing 286%, which is almost triple damage. Who knows how Blizzard will balance virtuoso, but didn't they get rid of the basic attack on the ui anyway? Or maybe there's an option for virtuoso when the game is released, I don't know. I would definitely be willing to try virtuoso, as it seems like something most people won't touch.
