[Wizard]"Farming" Act 3 with just blue items (Pictures and stats)

This isn't meant to be seen as a "budget" build, like Kripp did with his Barb. The amulets/rings alone put me over what others have accomplished. I just wanted to show that the gear requirement for the CMWW build is much lower than people expect. With a fast dagger alone, you can perma freeze packs, practically eliminating any need for resists. As you will see, I believe I had 250 all resists (unbuffed).

I made a mistake and had prismatic armor on instead of force armor, but it still worked out ok:

Pack #1

Nothing too hard, but the vampiric+electric+plagued made it take FOREVER to kill

Pack #2

Never had a chance to deploy Arcane. Easy pack

Fuck double pack...

I actually had them in a good position, but once the minions started blowing up (molten) I had to displace myself which gave them time to disperse. Died several times, left the pack to come back later.

Second pack in the double...

Both kiting mob:(

Pack #3

While I let the enrage timer of the double pack reset. Pretty easy affixes here.

Tried the double pack again

And died while trying to take a screenshot, lol

Pack #4

Heading to azmo while I consider whether to try the double pack again. This one was pretty easy

Pack #5

Can't get much easier affixes, though this particular mob kites.

Double pack

Went back, and after 10-15 deaths, finally take down the arcane elite.

Enrage...

Oddly enough, once I killed one of them, the enrage went away.

Finally!

Off to Azmo

Lol, just testing if I can take the fireball

Close call

:(

Fuck it

This wasn't Blizz's fault. My brother was fixing something outside and messed with the circuit breaker, turning off our router.

The only pack which killed me was a double pack of those Blood Clan Occulist fuckers. I should have skipped them, but I instead died maybe 15-20 times trying to take them down. If I left even one outside the range of frost nova, I'd get knockbacked and almost surely die to the other pack with arcane sentries.

The only real "downside" was my damage was so freaking low that it took about 2 minutes to kill a pack from start to end if I had them in my frost nova "grasps." Otherwise, it couldn't have been much easier.

Died to Azmo twice, and then got disconnected. Took him down to half life, so with patience and repetitive strategy, I have no doubt that it's possible.

Total cost of the build was less than 1 million. While I didn't run into any shielding/invuln, it felt like every pack had arcane/molten, and more than half of them were "kiters."
