For better or worse, CM wizard discussion outside the Lounge has centered on Energy Twister/Wicked Wind in 1.03 and Storm Chaser in 1.04.
Try a crit/meteor build in 1.05, or move on to Archon? is the discussion now. I would rather do neither, but I do need a new crit generator.
Replacing Energy Twister with Spectral Blade seemed like a good idea after reading this LL thread. I can't get back on the PTR so I changed on the live server to this build.
Using a signature spell for generating crits certainly eases the Arcane Power shortage. The action is smoother and more powerful than with Storm Chaser. I miss being able to target mobs with tornados, but I must move on, and Spectral Blade is the best replacement so far.
I also tried Ray of Frost/Sleet Storm on the live server for crit generation, but the action was balky, for some reason.
Meteor builds have done well on the PTR. Proc coefficients for Spectral Blade, Star Pact, Meteor Shower and Liquefy have all been nerfed recently, so more testing is needed.
I need a table of proc coefficients that I can trace directly to patch notes. This table was last updated in June and the coefficients listed are similar to but not the same as patch note values.
