Crit / meteor build

[Spangles]

Hopefully I can get something going in 1.0.5 with comet, as the proc rate will actually be higher than star pact. It was really nice having that extra slow, especially for treasure goblins. Also want to try out other armors now that enemy damage is getting nerfed in Monster Power 0. I've heard storm armor with the damage on crit is quite powerful.

I use this CM/Meteor build on the 1.05 PTR in Acts 1, 2, 3 at MP 3, 4, 5 to farm Infernal Machine Keys.

I switch among Spectral Blade / Deep Cuts and Shock Pulse / Piercing Orb for signature spell, Storm Armor / Shocking Aspect and Magic Weapon / Force Weapon for DPS boost, and Star Pact / Liquefy for Meteor crits.

I am always moving, and Spectral Blade seems to give me more fluid motion. Maybe Shock Pulse is on the swing timer and Spectral Blade is not? Is there a way of telling?

I think Force Weapon works better than Shocking Aspect, I just prefer consistency over intermittent burst.

I think that three Star Pact casts are more effective than two Liquefy meteors, which are the most I can cast of either. I will try Comet for the synergy with Cold Blooded.

I switch out Evocation for various other passives and can't tell the difference. I really wish I had a combat log. And a table of proc coefficients published by Blizzard.
