Gear Check, Too Squishy at T12/T13
I want to try getting to GR70 and pushing through the Journey this season to unlock the tab, but I don't know what I need to improve on my Wiz.
Can you guys give me some tips on where I should focus?
I know I need to get my Bane of the Trapped up to at least 25, and I think I might start working towards augments. I just die easily now, and take some big hits in Archon as well.

First off, roll the Hydra damage on your chest to armor. Try and get gloves that have CHD instead of VIT. Roll Spectral Blade damage on pants to armor. Your boots are just bad but you can roll off the Orb damage to VIT. Getting an Ancient Starfire or In-Geom also helps ofcourse.
Regardless, this gear should be able to do GR 70. I think the reason you are dying is playstyle related. You have to keep up momentum with Archon stacks. The moment they start falling off is when you start dying. You need to carefully time your burst cycle when TR6 stacks are up so that you kill the elite fast and then farm as many stacks as you can. While you are doing this you should be hunting for new elites. If you play this way you'll always have high stacks and close to perma Archon. Even so, this build is squishy and part of staying alive is playing it better.
Thanks for the advice. I wish I could get a better wand, been trying for a while with no luck, damn RNG.
