Simulcast on MBM:

Still in Act 1.

Bought some new armor for my wizard.

Decided to go from this:

Primary: Magic Missile
Secondary: Arcane Orb/arcane power use saver rune
Diamond Skin/last longer rune
Hydra/venom rune
Teleport/30% damage reduction at destination rune
Energy Armor/prismatic rune
Passives:
Glass Cannon
Astral Presence
Illusionist

to this:

Changed Energy Armor to Blizzard with reduced AP rune (already have 500 avg all resists unbuffed; seems to be plenty for Act 1)
Changed Illusionist to Cold Blooded (gave Scoundrel a cold damage bow)

Results:

Total ownage of all trash mobs
Definite increase in damage to elites
Constant jailing, walling, molten, arcane = roflHELP

Went back to original setup but forgot to choose Illusionist passive. Only found this out when I got five stacks of NV so was reluctant to fix. Decided to fix when repair bills reached 12,000 gp.

So yeah, still in Act 1.
