Diablo 3: My Take on Botting and the Banwave

Diablo 3: Why Vyr’s/Archon Is An Unpleasant Build/Skill
In trying to gear up a new seasonal wizard recently, I found myself with the Vyr’s/Archon set. To say that this set sucks is an understatement. I know there are those that managed to make it work and did well with it. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the set/skill is any good.
