Here is my Wiz as a comparison Dean -

My build is not great but it works good with my gear up to T4. Gear wise your wizard can obviously be a lot better, like you running fire damage items I see but only using meteor. I'd drop meteor and take sparkflint familiar, just get a build that works good enough to drop stuff as you want to farm firebirds anyway so don't worry about the roles on that gear you have just now just make do, most of it being replaced as you gear up.
Stormee and Messiah have good wizards also, check theirs but they are also just farming gear but do have builds that are downing stuff good to get to where they want. We're all at that stage at moment, not sure how much firebirds these guys have by now. But Smudge advice is what we should all be looking to jump onboard with wizards going forward, just need the gear to get along the lines of what he is doing first.
And MooMoo, extra gold welcomed by me! I have less than 1mil
Your Wiz actually has competitive stats, only thing you lack is the fullset bonus. Check out my DH, you have more Toughness than me by 2mil, and your DPS isn't that far off, when you consider that my DPS is expended in about 3secs.

Hate to deliver a rant, but people think that by putting in x-Hours you automatically are entitled to all items that others have had. It sadly just doesn't work like that.
If you got your RoRG, you'd want something else then, and it'd be the same thing. It is something that afflicts everyone. If you get to a stage where you've got every rare for every character, then the game is more or less complete. Diablo is the hunt for items, not anything else.
Pretty soon, Seasons will give a huge competitive element for grinders, and Greater Rifts will give some epic teamplay options for all folks, but currently, it is just the Treasure Hunt.
I've got a crapton of hours in my DH, but i've not got a Calamity or Kridershot, or a decent Stone of Jordan. My Crusader has a few items missing, likewise my Wiz is still using Yellow items mostly. Random Number Generator is the biggest blessing and curse in the game, that you just need to learn to accept.
Host a game on Torment 6 and get a decently geared lvl 70 to play. Everything will give maximum XP for your level (with T6 adjustment), yet will be only as difficult as your level is - not the lvl 70.
Generally you can reach lvl 50-60 in about 15-20mins of doing Rifts/bounties, then it slows down and will take about 1hr to hit lvl 70 after that, being generous in estimations here.
Are you sure you want to level this way, by the way? You will miss out on the learning curve for Crusader as well as developing a good solid appreciation for the skills and abilities.
Down to 2 mill so the extra gold is welcome.
Gems are certainly a good gold sink.
Patch 2.1 needs to hurry up.
I wish we could trade - i've got 120mil now!
Yeah I think I will just play normally for now. Just boring playing the same old content over and over

Even I have more toughness then your noob ass
. I do need to roll a few items for more DPS thou.It's not a MMO - each game you play is mutually exclusive unless you specifically allow people to join or invite them.
Are you in the OcUK clan? If not, what is your Battletag number (bottom right button will show your Friend's list, your Battletag number is the top of that box. Post it here, me or another Clan Officer will add you and you can use ClanChat to ask us questions etc.
I always played melee/tank classes in other games. So I roled a monk, got him to 70 and never enjoyed it much. Roled a Wizard and I play ti all the time now as I much prefer it
So by this theory, do what i done, but the opposite way around! Monk is 100% melee btw.

Have they buffed Legendary drops at the same time by accident for this weekend?
As well as the 50% extra gold find I've had 3 drops in the space of 15 mins of play, I was on yesterday as well so its not like I've been away for a while.
All very strange :S:S:S:S
*Edit 5 drops in 1hr*

Can you add me to the OCUk clan please.
Battletag: Ethan623#2593
@defiant I think its still the same however I think if you haven't played that character that day you get extra legendaries to start with.
Personally find the first hour or four/five legendaries drop then it slows down.
edit: Ok maybe not, we just had 2 packs of 8 treasure goblins!

Had 8 drops tonight over 4 hours.
Yeah I once had what I think was a pack of 20 Goblins when I was on my Barbarian. I slapped down Call of Ancients and went to town on the wee gits, only managed to kill about 13 of them as they got out of range of my Seismic slam with shattered ground rune
Mind you that was mind blowing epic fun as I hadnt known at that point that you could get them like that so I was like wtf when I saw the text alert go nuts with goblin alerts

Hopefully 2.1 will be here soon (some people saying this week but Blizzard not confirmed). Been playing PTR a bit and quite a few improvements across the board. Biggest things for me are:
1. 1 Rift key per rift now instead of 5, means running in groups is easier to do and no longer relying on rift it forward.
2. You can salvage all yellow/blue/junk items in one click now, after you get the blacksmith to max level anyway.
3. Greater Rifts are fun, there is some debate how long they will last given the gems may cap out at some point, but it's more content so should keep me playing for longer.
4. Goblin rifts. I was getting around 25-30M on T6 when I got a goblin rift, really nice cash boost. There is also a gold find gem that you can get from the goblin rift boss that means you find loads of cash when just killing stuff too.

I'm still hoping it is, but I think they would have most likely announced it by now if it was as Tuesday I think it the last patch day before September :/ Really sucks as I'm dying to play again, but it's just pointless when I'll be moving straight into seasons and none of my stash or current characters will be helpful at all.
