[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything
" No way we can add Hatred. But we don't need it either. Replacing LL with a DPS gem will add more damage than the new Hatred. | |
" I plotted out a hatred aura replacing Herald of Ice (with some additional investment) really not worth it. It adds 18% more cold damage, but when you factor in dropping HOI it only added a tiny amount of damage for a lot of mana reservation heartache. Last edited by Breken on Mar 6, 2019, 3:23:46 PM

How to ninja nerf the skill tree:
Look carefully to these 2 images! Do you notice any difference ? Old tree image:  New tree image:  If it's not only a PoB issue then GGG just ninja stole 10 Intelligence :) |

" Someone mentioned that earlier. I forget the logic but it was determined that it's 95% likely a PoB issue | |

Regarding "near Death experiences in PoE", looking through my saved screenshots from Betrayal league i went over this rare one:
 Have anyone been in a situation closer to Death than this?:) I think the "guilty one" for this situation is Blood Rage together with VP + ES recovery :) Last edited by lilianmarius on Mar 6, 2019, 3:38:48 PM

" Haha, clever little bastards! Well, we don't need that one anymore. And this one will be a bit harder to nerf ;)  | |

Looking to play this build at league start for Synthesis.
Couple questions regarding gear availability: 1) How feasible is it to buy WI when it is time to change over? Or is it way overpriced early league? Is it better to farm the div cards? If so, where? 2) I know Astramentis will be very high priced as usual. Are there any other uniques that might be exceedingly difficult to get ahold of right away? | |
" Is this a spoiler from the work to the new skill tree for WI?:) I smell some Brute Force conversions! Last edited by lilianmarius on Mar 6, 2019, 4:13:03 PM

" I started Betrayal League with this build, and while it isn't a fast league starter, it's still quite good. If you wanna invest everything you find into one character, this is a great way to do it. The staff was only a chaos or two for the first few days of the league, and only got cheaper from there. However, getting one with perfect % increased int will usually cost you more than that, (5-10c, maybe more depending on demand) and you'll want two of them later on. You don't really need it until your pushing tougher maps and deeper delves though, so you'll have plenty of time to save up some currency for that. Regarding other uniques, the only one you'll want aside from Astramentis is a Cyclopean Coil with perfect % increased attributes. It's a common drop from the elder and goes down in value quite quickly as the league goes on. Like the WI, you can get one with lower rolls for way cheaper. If you need a dirt cheap substitute early in the league, Bated Breath is a unique belt that gives a ton of ES and rarely costs more than an alch. |

" Yes, that's my current draft version (lv 85 base that I posted above + these 9 nodes + ZO = lv 95). |
