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

no lol but hitting either of the % stat nodes makes it bricked so I chaos spammed trying to get something decent.

Hi. Can i make use of these items in this build? They are just gathering dust with my useless ranger.

Nah bro we want to use synth for the 7% int implicit

Tried to craft boots and gloves, boots still nothing, gloves got something pretty decent, dont think I will reroll them

Not bad...I feel really good about my gloves given they aren't conjurers haha

<begin complaint>

Level 90, 2 days 20 hours played, and I am still looking for the last 2 eternal lab trials. Note I've done every Zana map that offered a trial, also.

I'm aware I can use /global 820 to look for trials. I've always felt that was cheating, and decided to stop doing that 2 leagues ago.

When I stopped, that caused me to be 5/6 trials in harvest (level 91) and now 4/6.

I'm also aware I can buy prophecies or use them.

Hopefully this will improve in 3.13. I'm hoping there is no Lab in POE 2...

lol I find them all the time...it's about quantity over quality. I've run about 1000 maps.

Swapped watchers eye for boss and am now sitting on 18k ES.

Got a 10% max mana as max es watchers that had arcane surge while affected by zealotry for 15ex.

Hm.. how important is the vortex/bonechill combo?

Is simply having frostblink with bonechill enough to apply bonechill?
Or is there another reason for using vortex other than applying bonechill?


Am currently moving around gems and sockets cause of gear changes, and not sure if I need a 4L for bonechill-arcanesurge-vortex-frostblink or if leaving out vortex would hurt the build much to use the 4th socket unlinked for something else (probably aura) instead.


Still just early mapping (70+), don't have much currency to optimize any gear.

Though I'm running a 5L Fennumus Shroud as chest piece - it seems quite fitting for the build with okayish ES (390 ES), 40 Int, enemies dealing 10% less damage and having 10% reduced resists (if running Spider Aura) and regenerating up to 100 ES per second.

Any estimate about how expensive a rare chest piece that outperforms the benefits of this unique would be? I guess the main benefits of a rare would be more int, +% int and quite a bit more ES (got resists mostly covered for the moment even without any on the chestpiece). Just not sure how high those rolls would need to be to make up for 10% reduced enemy damage (and enemies having 10% less resist).

It's just for bonechill/arcane surge. You could do it with frostblink, but vortex has much higher quality of life. Frostblink would probably be enough for bosses, but vortex makes it so much easier to chill entire packs.

You don't need to link frostblink to vortex/arcane surge/bonechill, that fourth socket is essentially a free spot. I have it in my helm as a 3-link, with the unsocketed fourth being flesh and stone.

I compared it to my chest (523 ES, 47 int, 6% attributes) and PoB says it's effectively equal for the pre-cluster tree. On the cluster tree, Fenumus gave 8.7K ES and I get 10k ES with mine, and a slight damage improvement as well.

I think you'd probably need a shaper chest with the extra 12% int in order to definitely outshine the Fenumus, and that's a very significant price hike whether you craft it or buy it.

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply, it's very appreciated.

Guess I got no reason to change out of Fenumus for quite a while then, until I'm rich enough to swap to cluster tree and also afford a decent rare chest.


Not sure what I'll do about Vortex, cause so far it doesn't seem like I need it to take care of packs (since they just die to icestorm, whether they're in the bonechill area of frostblink or not). But guess as the levels go up with higher map tiers, I will maybe need it then.

I want Frostblink in some socket anyways, so may as well have it linked to the bonechill / arcane surge - will just need a lil bit of rearranging and recoloring when I want to have Vortex as well. (and will cost me the Frostwall from my CWDT 4L which isn't strictly necessary)

And I guess it also has a bit to do with convenience, just holding the right-mousekey for cyclone while moving about and frostblinking from pack to pack (low cooldown cause Stampede) is less of a strain for my hand than also pressing or holding an extra hotkey for Vortex. (.. the strain mainly cause I got all hotkeys on gaming mouse side-buttons, maybe changing a hotkey for vortex to keyboard then may make it less taxing)

Anyhow, I'll figure it out from here. ..was just blabbering on a bit about my reasons. No need to reply to this, but thanks again for your help ^^

I gone lvl89 red tier maps. Having problems with killing the Reedemer. How you do it? I just get one-shot every time
