Diablo 3 Delsere’s Magnum Opus Energy Twister Wizard Build

This offbeat build does an excellent job of clearing both regular and Greater Rifts. A large amount of control and high damage allow you to quickly kill not only elite packs, but also bosses. You have two excellent skills in your arsenal – Slow Time and Black Hole, which will prevent monsters from getting close to you. And the damage from Energy Twister, which will be automatically cast due to Arcane Torrent (Etched Sigil), very quickly deal with any number of demons.
