[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything
" Lol, when I started with this build, I tried mino and phoenix just for fun, didn't even have uber lab done and I was lvl 75, still able to facetank both. No idea what you are yelling about. " I only pay few exalts that can kill everything and don't die at all " Then go back to playing your arc totems or traps. | |

This kid is trolling ... pay the child no mind.

Just ignore him, it's the same guy that was saying that hypothermia isn't boosting his damage at all, and "added cold damage" is superior existence with its 30% effectiveness.
He was spitting bullshit since coming into this thread, shouldn't take his rumblings seriously, really. |

Is anyone using the crafted mod " % increased damage while leeching" on their gloves? I added it to try it but I can't say I notice a difference. Wondering if anyone has tested it and has seen it working and if it's worthwhile.
Also, opinions on using Saqawal's Nest body armor instead of a pure energy shield armor? Thanks! |

" That mod only really works for Slayer / Slayer Ascendant - Blood Rage degen isn't enough damage taken to maintain high uptime on "while leeching", only overleech can really do that. " My chest isn't nearly on the level of a lot of folks in this thread, and dropping a perfectly rolled Saqawal's into PoB: -2224 ES, -1.2% damage per hit, -3% Icestorm duration. Averaging out Aspect of the Avian, 50% uptime, 10% chance to deal double damage, net +5% DPS. Net effect: -2224 ES, no significant change in DPS. And a perfect +attributes roll on a Saqawal's is about the same price as a decent ES chest... doesn't seem like it's worth it to me. EDIT: Forgot to make the +ES on Saqawal's perfect too... 2224 ES lost, not 2300 ;) Last edited by vector84 on Jan 7, 2019, 10:08:32 PM

Thank you!
I noticed a big drop in DPS going to my ES chest piece from Saqawal's but I also don't have much currency to spend so that wasn't a great piece I bought. Your input, vector84, was very helpful! |

" So I can't see your chest, unfortunately, but a tip for working on a budget... look for something with a decent Int roll, as well as an open suffix to craft 6% increased attributes... even like 400 ES base would be plenty to significantly out-perform Saqawal's, and you should be able to get something like that for around 1-2 chaos (or something 500ish ES for around 10 chaos, still under the cost of a Saqawal's).

Hello again,
after i finished lvl 100 i started the "yolo" phase, so i updated my grear for more lulz n shiet
Spoiler
as i said i like moar deeps so i went for 6l vortex(lul) and throw away blind and moved cwdt with frostbite/enfeeble into boots, since everything die so fast i didnt noticed any change :) even on depth 500 where i currently progress challenge to floor 600. Important thing is, its all based on 2 watcher's eye rows - #ES gain for each enemy hit and most imporantly 1.4% leech while affected by vitality, so all my spells leech, W Orb, icestorm, vortex and with procced bloodrage my ES wont drop for even a bit i can facetank shapur beam and ice spears together on uber, only shapur balls can hurt me cuz its meny big burst. Con is i lost socket space sooo i have flame dash in ring ofc it cost me potential corruption with moar %int but w/e i dont use vigilant strike at all cuz ...you know everything melts, even uber oldar or aul, so i just dont need it. In main weapon for mapping i use GCP + cascade and for bosses switch for obvious conc effect + cold pene. However biggest suprise for me are the gloves, "# % increased damgur with hits againts chilled enemies" even tho i lost spell dmg implicit and some int, my damgur went up more than i expected. I might do some videos from endgame, but i managed to down uber oldar around 3 min mark, Shaper is switched instantly when i precast my 9sec icestorm in his animation, same goes for guardinas etc. Last edited by Horroren1 on Jan 8, 2019, 5:27:57 AM

" Ye - even I while playing cold asc version w/o watcher eye and with ~1600 int hadnt problem with facetanking minus some easy dodgeable stuff. | |

I've decided to ditch Blood Rage. Was getting me killed too often to lack of stuff to hit at critical times, resulting in me engaging new packs at ~30-50% ES lvls.
I tried phase run instead for a bit, but since it negates itself while i'm channeling, it felt rather useless. So now i just added in a molten shell to that 4link, and i realy feel like i'm dying ALOT less from stupid shit. Lately, the only thing that kills me is Lightning Mirage that i dont notice in the cascade of ice particles clustering my screen. :D |
