Diablo 3 Legacy of Dreams Energy Twister Wizard Build

Energy Twister builds have high AoE damage and also do a great job against Rift Guardians. This build also has good survivability, which allows you to collect huge packs of monsters to quickly clear the rifts. However, from the disadvantages, it is worth noting the relatively complex mechanics – after all, in order to unlock the full potential of Energy Twisters, you need to perform a basic preparation. Namely – build up a buff from Wave of Force (Arcane Attunement), wait for the Convention of Elements proc and than self-cast Energy Twister. And only then use Arcane Torrent (with Etched Sigil for additional Energy Twisters).
