Getting tired of Frozen Orb? Try an end-game fire wizard spamming meteors everywhere. Although more gear dependent, fire has the best damage stacking possibilities courtesy of Cindercoat.
In this video I go over the build, gear (including BiS items), ideal stats per slot, toughness requirements, fire/elite/meteor damage % modifiers, a very strong 2-hand variation with Smoldering Core, and some solo T4 rifting. Happy melting!

I don't know because my wizard is only lvl 26, but would it be a waste to use both mammoth hydra and meteor?
also, go for Nilfur Boast for the 100% extra meteor dammage
one more ? for you im still having issues understanding firebirds last skill when u get 6 piece set? how much damage do I need to do to get it going ?
nice build . does this still work or did blizz nerf it?

How the hell did you get meteor on mouse 2, and when you change skills how did you get those arrow on the side
just put some of this build together on my wiz.I don't have the armor or weapon yet and i'm only lvl 50 🙁 but i can see how this build will work great with all the right stuff.Wish someone would put together a build for lvl 1-70 for us dummies out there.anyway cool build,hope i can get all the right stuff to make this a great build.
may i wear the firebird's set in this build?
Where the hell do you "find" three socket cinder coats? I have found at least 10 now and all have three magic stats and ZERO to TWO sockets!!!! Is this three socket stuff test server stuff?
Of course you're doing damage, its Torment IV
how come you are not losing arcane power when spaming meteor
NEW 2.1 Fire Wizard build: Diablo 3 RoS – Wizard – T6 Fire Speed Farm Build – 5-7 Min Solo Rifts
Please upvote so others can see the updated version of this build in action!
I use the Grand vizier, it gives 43% less cost of meteor, so it works without a cindercoat 🙂
Going to try this out. Got around the same toughness but 1.8m dmg, right now playing fire build with arcane torrent and hydra.
Do you (or anyone) know how the Grand Vizier's passive plays with Cindercoat's passive?
Got the firebirds eye with 20 % fire damage and i´m happy with that .. ^^
Hey meat head, I'm currently level 65. What's the best load out for wiz atm. I know gear changes at end game but what about powers loadout?
Cool just got some decent +fire damage % items that set looks awesome though
I was looking for Wizard build that dont require Wiz specific items like wands/orbs and i found it. Slaped any fire gear i found on my t6 wd onto freshly dinged Wiz and t5 clear np. Thanks alot m8
A question from a newby.
Is there any way to add whatever type of damage i want (fire,frost,arcane etc..) in to my items through enchanting or something? or i have to wait till i loot the exact items i need? an answer would help alot 🙂
I would like to know what you're doing to get the icons on dropped items.
I just started the game and I look like shit
why teleport over blackhole
My wizard has a 1.2 million damage output. Reply if you need any help on the 360, and I'll give you my gamertag.
You do have a point with the weapons actually. But the two hander is as you say "good in a way that they never get to you" – But with a one hand and a second, you will do more damage and even more against the elites. And it is what you said.. There is the elite mobs who is the problem. Not the white ones. So for the 2 hand weapon, it's not nessesary at all 🙂
i use black hole
I've constructed a wizard based on this build..so far soloing T4 but not at the best speed. What do you think the ceiling is for this build at this point? Will I need to switch to fire-archon at some point?
Diablo III HC T3 wizzard build
yo MeatHead! is this build still legit?? reply plz
Wow Mikhail I just found that firebird source, it had 20% fire 707 int, I rerolled for 10% crit on my second roll, 370-450 dmg & 8% reduction cost! Long story short you are right it owned my mirrorball! I basically gained 2% on equipt and 20% fire, I'm missing meteor.
Thanks for taking the time to post this video. It definitely helped focus my efforts and T4 is easy and T5 is doable.
You do realize this vid was posted 2 months ago…..
Wow my wiz meteors are hitting way harder than that. I hit for 10 mil crit white mobs 15 on elites. Get your weight up sonny
hey mikhail, any reason why u dont use a stone of jordan on this build?
Is the thunderfury a possible end game wep? I mean raw dmg and slow…
come on dude 2k reisst with 275k life……..no point in having more than 1300ish reistss unless you got 10k armor and 500k+ life
Any changes in this build after the wormhole nerf?
diablo 3 may be a fun game with a great gameplay feel but i cant deny the fact it feels a "copy paste" game from world of warcraft
and the lack of innovation and creative minds around the stats on gear that seems to repeat it self with every piece of gear or the fact that legendaries dont have enough stats on them is really sad
and when it comes to same patterns of dungeons or to the same boring combinations of abilites to the elite/rare/unique monsters it gets even more sad
(most of the regular monsters are just melee type!) i just realize that the creators didnt really put efforts on this game….look how torchlight 2 is and understand what im talking about
I wonder what build would NOT work on T4 when you have 1.2M on paper damage 🙂
What do you think about a devastator as weapon? It has 1.2 attacks per second so it is not too fast and it rolls 15-20% fire Damage every time! So that is the reason why I would not use SUnkeeper as weapon 😉 But what do you think? I'm still a diablo noob (Paragon 240)
I like the build but i dont have much fire damage so i'm still farming.. who knows how long it will take.
