[3.1] The Blinding Blizzard - Whispering Ice Berserker - Viable for Most Everything

Thanks for the build Kelvynn. Did 157/157 and 40/40 with the life version, was fun.

New Hiero looks interesting for this build, or is it just me?

The two non-totem branches look like a new self-cast option. Permanent AS with ailment immunity, extra ES, extra free mana, a little bit of extra leech, low mana cost (and completely free pre-casting).

Not sure about the 10% MoM - why would they add that to a class that's clearly designed for ES? It won't even work with CI, will it? But the rest is not too bad.

The question is: will it be good enough? Self-cast means getting back to the 'clunky' casting where the animation prevents you from reacting quickly, you can't stop casting. Hierophant gets some extra casting speed but that's still nowhere as fast as the Inquisitor version had before the advent of CwC. And the switch to CwC was so great that I'm not sure that I want to try self-casting again.

0.5% leech is just a bonus similar to the boot enchantment, but you'll still need to use the Life Leech gem for sure.

Perma-AS is good, but it's a lv 1 one (only 10%). We already have no problem getting AS for the boss fights, and ours is lv 6.

Elemental ailment immunity is not a big deal either. This build is already immune to shock and ignite with Cyclopean Coil, almost ignores chill and half-immune to freeze with the Brine King. So this is a bit redundant.

Overall, the new Hierophant looks like a viable option, but I don't see it being the strongest. It might be good as 1/2 of the Scion version though, depending on which parts of it the Scion gets.

seems that from leaked patch notes CI will work in this way

Chaos Inoculation no longer grants 100% Chaos resistance. Now prevents Chaos damage from bypassing Energy Shield and no longer reduces maximum Life to 1.

Wow, RIP shavrone's wrappings lol
Before it was pretty much the only choice for high lvl LL-characters, now it will be much less desirable.
But we now have much more options for LL, and also LL will be much cheaper which i quite like

You are not taking the 'leaked patch notes' posts seriously, are you? :)))

Some of them are good entertainment though.

considering playing scorching ray CWC icestorm for bestiary but, does anyone know if the bug where your instance just breaks and you can't re-enter still exsists with this combo ?

I made a character on standard and it happened to me a few times in hydra maps and i just lost the map.

is it because i have multithreading on? without it i drop to 20fps when using spell cascade, but i have a stable 60 fps with it on. i would ideally like to keep using multithreading with it aha.

Well, one guy said he dropped Spell Cascade and had no crashes anymore. I checked it out and it works for me as well. Recently i had a crash in Alluring Abyss after i died fighting with Atziri and re-entered the instance (ofc the whole instance was ruined and i wasnt able to re-enter anymore). Just a few minutes ago i tried it again not using SC at all and teleported to h/o and back before entering Atziri's room -
everything was fine, no crash after re-entering the instance and successful completion as a result. Unfortunately, SC is kinda QoL gem for clearing, but GGG seem to have no idea how to fix it. I think that we may still use it for any content but only being sure we can complete it deathless. Teleporting to h/o to sell some stuff is risky, so you want to kill the boss first anyway.
