Tal Rasha's Meteor Wizard

[Sinzhu 5]

This thread is for questions, comments, and feedback on our Meteor build with Tal Rasha's Elements for Wizards in Diablo 3.

The Main page says "The Shame of Delsere" should be in the Cube, but the Gear page says Aquila Cuirass.  Am I confusing something here?

Why is my previous post hidden?

I am rocking magic weapon, conduit for quick refresh of arcane power. The more arcane power you have, the higher your damage can be. So I am also putting as much into having Cost Reduction with Astral presence, the Sancitified magic missle for the homing aspect, squirts for neck, and mempo in cube. Truly a glass cannon, see some benefit to your build. Taking off the squirts would really help, but doing mostly full clears and staying way in the back, making use of power hungry and zeis, trapped, stricken. Now that Ithink about it, trapped only helps for closer engagements but constant battle of pulling groups and not dying sees its benefit in my play style. Will augment my build with, some of your suggestions. GL,  Blighter was kicking my *filtered*, but managed to LOS him around a wall with a fence. But timing COE, and Arcane dynamo criting around 50-70 trillion and melt faces. Having a barb to round up and make pulls safer would be a huge. But slowly grinding this build, at 124 right now.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all of these builds and guides. Much appreciated by a lot of people, I'm sure

Question regarding the newly updated Mempo of Twilight - the bonus Shower rune is only effective towards your actively cast Meteor (it doesn't trigger on the set bonus bonus meteors, which even with a top end video card, my video card thanks them for not doing that... that would be a lot of lights and thunder) - does the damage bonus ALSO only count towards your active Meteor, or does it also buff the passive Meteors?

*EDIT* Also, since I've been playing with this, I thought I'd share the few modifications I've been using:

Among skills - I dropped Teleport for Magic Weapon/Deflection. I understand the normal desire for an "out", given the wonderful array of charming affixes the Champions/Elites can come with, but I've found myself rarely in need of it. I don't play on Hardcore, so while dying is an annoyance, it's not life-altering 😄

I also replaced the Blades with Magic Missile/Glacial Spike. Missile gives an additional level of ranged crowd control that the Blades simply do not afford.

Among the passives - without Teleport, Illusionist is worthless, so that was dropped. My other concern was this build's only matter of direct defense outside of the Set Resistance buffs/immunities was Halo of Karini's shock effect, which operates counter-intuitively to the build's design (it only triggers on hits to enemies beyond 15 yards, where this build operates in close quarters - re: Audacity).

To counter this issue, I dropped Illusionist for Galvanizing Ward to have an active shield between packs, while MW/Deflection adds shields while attacking.

So far, up through GR103, I've gone down exactly one time (saved by the Enchantress skill) and faced very little red screen threat...

Heya! Mempo of Twilight needs to have its tooltip call updated (or whatever it is). It links to the old MoT which is a 404 on the official site.

I think the Tal Meteor Wizard Greater Rift Speed Farming build is broken.  

 

As described I cant see how the fire element procs. 

 

I tried for a while and never saw coe go to 4.  It was always at 3 and fire missing. 

 

The guide says, “ The Fire Tal Rasha Proc, as well as your main damage dealer, is found in  Meteor“.  

 

But. With using Star Pact, it changed to arcane. 

 

Am I missing something, or is it broken as described?

 

 

Thanks!!!

I believe the halo of arlyse would be a better fit ring for this build. * your ice armor now reduces damage taken from melee attacks by 56%, and automatically casts frost nova when you take 10% of your life in damage. I believe this is a better stat then * you take 77% less damage for 5 seconds after ur storm armor shocks an enemy more then 15 yards away. for Karini. I'm going to swap out and see how good it is.

I actually find the Hydra build is more powerful than the Tals Meteor build.

Hydra is sturdy. I love hydra. I have some primal Typhons even. That being said, I'm trying a totally different version of Tal meteor and it is, without many ancients even, topping my Hydra damage. 💔
