Diablo 3 Delsere’s Magnum Opus Frozen Orb Wizard Build

If you want to play the classic FO Sorceresses from D2 again, this build is the most similar to it. Arcane Orb together with Frozen Orb will destroy all demons in its path, leaving behind only mountains of loot. Delsere’s Magnum Opus set will allow you to slow down opponents with Slow Time, which will significantly reduce their combat performance. Black Hole will also keep ordinary monsters close to it, and an old friend Teleport will serve us for mobility and movement across locations.
