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

Hi Kelvyn

Thx. The build is not the fastest but has for me the most all in one features from all builds i tried :-)

And the community behind this build is awesome. Including your great support for it so many leagues.

BTW the 75000 qantity was the biggest hurdle for me. It was not fun and to get the number i need to run througth the maps to boss with no loot. Thats not a playstyle i like. I like to loot nearly all currency and good looking items also as i wrote not one ring or amulet was worth it to identify :-(
And because of the heist boxes (and for 750 heist i had a lot from them)there where much more rings and amus as in normal leagues.

Thx for the tip with the curse boss. But with the icerain i nearly see no animation from bosses :-(. So taking out the hexcurse is safe for me :-)

Even after so much time played - I still return to this awesome build. It's just one of the most comfortable builds for me. It's not the fastest, the damagiest or something like that, but it just goes in and gets the job done. And that's why I love it.

My only problem that I hate leagues as a general concept (I despise starting all over again and losing all my progress on gear/levels/literally anything), so I'm stuck at std. I can't get an upgrade for my clusters at all, and I lose 4 points that way. Only 1 I was able to roll is this one

And just to rub the salt - it's the same as both of my current ones with prismatic heart at the back part of the cluster. Can you help me please? I dunno what to do and run out of nearly all crafting materials at this point.

PS: I know it's stupid, but I just can't stop thinking how actually much those points will advance me on my 98th level :)

The only possible combo that has CttC and PH on the sides is with Widespread Destruction (see it in the Jewels section). If you can't get that then just use the one you have here. You have a choice with it: pay 2 skill points for 10% all res or don't. I personally would not. Resists can be finished with good rings (especially the new base from the Heist league that has 4 suffixes). Or by anointing The Stampede. Or by using a jewel with %all res.

Curious of what the changes are to Scion with 3.13! Can't wait for patch notes lol

So... the Ascendancy changes in 3.13...



This is sexy! I'm really tempted to go with Occultist. But we don't know yet, how much of this (or the Inquisitor changes) will be given to the Ascendant.

There are also some nice new things going to Elementalist and Hierophant - not enough to make those classes better than Occultist, but Ascendant may get them too.

I guess we'll have to wait a few days to see all classes. But the new Occultist changes are very tempting...

I've used this build as a league starter in many leagues, but I don't race to the maps. I have a regular job, and I get home 4 hours after the servers open.

So many 40/40s you've had and how do you do that with a regular job?? Must be magic (or the power of the WI build) :)

I'm looking to try this one in 3.13, should be good since it looks like a boss killing league. Also, looking forward to performance changes to Icestorm, I haven't playd WI since they were introduced.

Hi, I want to league start 3.13 with this build.

At the beginning of the league (day 1) how expensive tends to be The Whispering ice?

I know it's not a sought after unique but I'm not sure how feasible it's to obtain it day 1.

Thanks.

Idk, looks pretty weak for me because the only thing which is changed is 15% more damage. And you have to pay 4 skill points, ailment immunity (which is kinda huge), and you have to give up 1 more curse (or stun immunity but you do not play cyclone w/o it).

Last couple of leagues you would see a staff up for sale about 4-5 hours in for a few chaos. An ilvl 50+ 18% one typically takes until the late evening to be available. You can sometimes snipe them for 1c from people that just want to get rid of them, so keep the search active.

I normally use my early chaos to buy polymath cards (after the staff.) Astramentis always increases in price from day 1 to day 4-5, so get the cards asap.

12 :) I don't have a streamer-like play time, but I always have a plan how to finish all challenges. This build is the most versatile and stable one I've ever seen. It's never meta, never the fastest and never the best at any particular thing, but it can do everything reliably and doesn't require much skill or mirror budget.

3.13 should be a good league. Those Ritual fights are about surviving and sustaining - that's exactly what this build does.
