Pomegranate can barely damage me enough to beat my 120hp/s, I often find myself just standing face to face with an elite pack or champ and just spamming electrocute on their faces. Ice Armors +45% armor and freezing of attackers coupled with a quite high physical resist and the -20% melee damage from Blur gets me to about 70% damage reduction in total. I'm not even using a shield O.o
I'm using those exact skills in inferno. It gets a lot rougher. I also use diamond skin with double absorption, which in some cases can only take 1 hit. Some champ/elites with fast/molten/plague, etc hurt a LOT and you can't get away from them; Especially if they're using any of teleport/vortex/jailer/waller. I also use detonating mirror images to distract and damage while i run around like a chicken. Some packs just aren't doable for me, and others just require a couple deaths to down, and some i can even tank face to face. Still messing around in act 1. Just yesterday i ran into my first dampening field bosses. That crap is annoying on a wizard since it slows all your ranged attacks (except for piercing orb?) down to nothing.
