[3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything

Oof, I hope Icestrom is included with the new dynamic culling option. The lag and fps dropps holded me back to level this build again.

Scion is easily the best option.

I did a few SSF leveling tests the past few days and had the best runs with Mines/OOS/WOC or Chaos Dot (CA/TR)

Minions get an honorable mention, they did just ok.

Can you expand those abbreviations for me uneducated pleb, kind sir? :)

I get Mines, but OOS/WOS? CA=Caustic Arrow? TR?

Orb of Storms + Wave of Conviction (should be WoC) - you can find links and etc in any meta racing video.
Yep, caustic arrow and toxic rain - I think that catslinger (ed+cont+soulrend in spellslinger setups) should work better as leveling combo, but fine.

You can search the acronyms on https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Active_skill_gem.

OOS = Orb of Storms
WOC = Wave of Conviction
CA = Caustic Arrow
TR = Toxic Rain

The problem with the last two is that they are attacks, not spells, so you won't be able to empower them as quickly as spells.

That said, Purifying Flame seems to work well for me. I'll probably switch between Freezing Pulse and that, and/or use Toxic Rain anyway if I can find a 3G linked bow early.

Thanks!
I love chaos DoT, will try to do the CA/TR path.
I assume those two DoTs stack, right?

Will try to find me a nice +1 gems bow :)

The problem with the last two is that they are attacks, not spells, so you will probably not be following your normal build guide (which stacks INT for spell damage.)

Basically the best thing to do is to get some good wands early on, in my opinion. I'm going to try purifying flame this time, its AOE seems easier to use than Freezing Pulse.




Chaos Dots don't require a lot of skill tree or gear support so they work just fine with our tree. I've tested it extensively.

That's interesting; I did not know that.

So, something like this progression?

Caustic Arrow (2)
Volley (4)
Dash (4)
Mirage Archer (4)
Void Manipulation (8)
Blink Arrow (10)
Toxic Rain (12)
Vicious Projectiles (18)
Grace, Despair (24)
Swift Affliction (31)

Main damage skills:

Caustic Arrow - (Volley/Void Manip.) - Vicious Projectiles - Swift Affliction
Toxic Rain - Mirage Archer
Dash/Blink Arrow for movement
Grace, Despair for auras

While you level up Concentrated effect, Spell Cascade, Discipline in 2nd weapon slot.

Hmm, that's different and would be a welcome change. And I didn't see any dex requirements either.

Check CA requirements.
