Trifecta means crit chance, crit damage and attack speed on the same item
Thunderfury is one of the best weapons in the game, period, regardless of build. The effect has a high proc rate and does a lot of damage that isn't reflected in the "weapon dps" stat. The move/attack slowdown is also extremely valuable. Take the Thunderfury you have and replace the resource reduction with 10% damage. The only arguably better weapon for Wizards is Wand of Woh, an extremely rare drop. There are a couple of other weapons with interesting effects, like the extra hydra wand, but we'll ignore them for now.
As far as what to reroll, that's a matter of knowledge, which you'll have to gain through experience. If you're ever in a bind, you can replicate changes via paragon points. For instance, if you're trying to decide between Critical Chance or Attack Speed, reset both to 0 and then pump each one up individually and look at what it does to your DPS stat on your character sheet. It's not foolproof, but it's something. Off the cuff advice is that you want to prioritize critical chance (until at least 50%) and critical hit damage. Of course you want intelligence, +element dmg to your primary element, +skill damage to your primary damage dealer. Attack Speed is always good, but not as critical for a Wizard.
Damage mitigation (reducing damage from attacks) is very important, so you want all resist and armor, as well as vitality. That'll keep you alive. There's also cooldown reduction if you're working on an archon build, but that's more of a specialty build so ignore that until you're more comfortable with the game.
Fire Wizard is one of the more popular builds because there is a lot of +fire equipment. That doesn't mean it's the only good build. How you build your character is completely dependent on what items you find. I found several +arcane items and so I built my kit around arcane damage. There are archon builds as well.
Finally, again, you can't learn by just reading message boards. You have to play the game. Play a lot. Experiment with different builds. Try different equipment. Like, go, now. Stop reading this post and go play. The end.
Trifect is when you have something that rolls:
- Increased attack speed
- Critical hit chance
- Critical hit damage
I see it mentioned usually in conjunction with Cyclone Monks, which I could see being useful if you're pulling everything into the proc constantly. I have a pretty nice trifecta MLW I need to mess around with on my Monk and see.

Such a nice roll.
I really wanted to like this amulet, but the skeletons don't seem to show up a lot of the time, and it just seems silly to have them spawn after you've killed everything (and they are slow, very slow)
To put that in perspective, it hits as hard as Epiphany inner fire which also has a limit of about once a second per target while channeling tempest rush. It works well with cyclone strike and area damage as well.

My Jade Harvester shoulders finally dropped. Just need my Ring of Royal Grandeur and Quetzalcoatl now.
Laws of Valor lasts for more than 20 minutes?
22 minute Laws of Valor due to Answered Prayer. I have enough CDR to get it to ~14s cooldown and Answered Prayer lets me get to 15s duration. Refreshing it resets the duration ... to 15s. And lets me stack +10s again. Over and over and over.
Basically, I just always have Laws of Valor up. Does not extend to the party, though.

.Something like this happened to me today. My friend logged on and we started playing together and while he was getting legendary items back to back, I was finding 0 lol. By the time he had found 6 or 7 I had found 1. The best was yesterday, when a Gyfalcon's Foote dropped for him on his DH as the 5th or sixth drop while a monk amulet dropped for me on my Wiz as the second or third.

I really hope you've been stacking CDR gear too. That should really be a bigger priority than Vyr's for the build, honestly.
Edit:
You mean CHD%? Anyway, no. You can change Laws and it says that it does but it still only lasts 5s. Only applies to the Answered Prayer one. But you CAN switch from Answered Prayer to Critical and keep the 15% IAS%.
Yeah, since the buff, I've gotten a crapton of plans.
At least 2 Set Plans that I know of (Guardian's and Hallowed Protectors)
I think I have all of the lvl 70 plans except for the Sage set now, TP back to town to learn them right away or you might get a dup drop.
Guys should I run T5 rifts or T6 rifts? I can do a T5 rift in 5-10 mins depending on density, while a T6 rift takes me 10-15 mins. Is it really worth it to just do T6? Also here is a video of me destroying a T5 rift under 4 mins! T5 Under 4 minutes

First time post here.
I've been working on my Crusader and I'm currently going for a lightning build. I can clear T1 with no problems (haven't tried T2 or above yet) but I really have no idea what gear I should be looking for a lightning Crusader. Here's my profile.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Fireflea-1829/hero/43884922
Also I just got Jekengbord (hasn't been enchanted). Should I be using it over my Defender of Westmarch?

Link to your items? I have Marauder 6 piece too but I kinda want to see the stats on a build like this. Also why are you using Multishot if I may ask?
I can do T5 as well but with my Fire CA build. It's more dangerous but can be done in good time.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/WeaponX-1954/hero/47030495
I would use Fire but I only got a Physical SoJ and yes I am using Multishot.
I know that you are using Multishot but I was asking WHY you are using it. Is it superior to the other Hatred options?

Tonight was kind, Aughild's plan dropped and I had the mats to craft Shoulders, Bracers and Chest and finally got Holy damage (20% at that) on my Stone of Jordan, good times.

Oops sorry I was running a rift. But yes multishot is currently superior since chakram/CA is bugged, and multishot/CA shoots faster right now until its fixed.
Ah I see. Thanks.

How so?
Neither, ideally, though I assume you ask this since you lack 6pc Akkhan. Anyway, Slash since you're going to be in melee range due to the shotgun.
...unless this isn't a Shotgun build, I guess?
No generator. Or, technically, Provoke is my generator. This is usually what I run. Akarat rune rotates as needed between Embodiment or Prophet and same for Valor on Critical and Unstoppable Force. Condemn is also a filler slot but I still like it there.

Got my 5th piece of marauder on my DH today for the 6 set bonus
Not sure how to build it though
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Finicky-2766/hero/38748097
my profile, gear and current build
the damage seemed quite lackluster on t4, then again I am still missing soj, need to reroll the andariel and need to roll sentry dmg on the shoulders (and missing boots with skill dmg roll)
It's hard to judge if my build is any good because of that.
Not sure what bow or xbow I need for this build either (i'm guessing the extra sentries quiver too)
Also got given a 2.25k dps TF for my monk by a friend, as well as the lightning set pants and akkhan pants for my sader and a quetzacotl for my wd.
It's a lot easier to gear up with the new kadela and the loot buff (1 leg average per t6 run sure beats getting shit all for 5-10 runs on t3-4 a few weeks ago before the buff and rift patch)

You need Tasker and Theo to make great use of the 6 piece Marauder. That means getting the Marauder Helm.
You also need Physical element and you can benefit from Ballistic passives.. The two extra Sentry Quiver is also needed for the build when you have 4 Sentries active the damage is pretty insane.

Does anyone have tips on getting the lowest CDR for my archon build?
I can get my archon down to a 35 second CD once my archon finishes but because of my gear, my toughness takes a huge hit and I'm at 175khp. Sure I can do mass DMG every 30 seconds but I'm damn squishy. Would having diamond skin be a good idea?

CDR over Attack Speed on Gloves is a big one. Besides that, Rings, Weapon, Off-hand, Diamond in your Helm, and the Passive is where you want to be slotting it. Use Deflection to keep up a shield to inflate your HP and just get big VIT rolls on your Helm, Shoulder, Belt, Pants, etc. where you can spare the roll.
finally got a tfury. Haven't rerolled yet. I'm thinking try for higher dmg? or maybe roll the vit for +dmg now that's fixed
definitely higher damage imo
Bombadiers and Tasker/Theo are most important. With the Quiver you can reslot custom engineering to ballistics. You should try a high damange xbow if you have one. BTW I didn't get my SoJ until yesterday, and I was clearing T5 8-12 mins before it.
I wish all Rifts were this easy. Cherry Picked T6. I died 2 times from not paying attention.
