[3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
|
Thanks for the build, I wanted to do something with Occultist due to the rework, this basically fit perfectly since we can use the 15% more cold damage nicely, on top of the curse changes. I did some slight tweaking to the skill tree and I am still working on it, particularly the gems.
Resists are really the struggle with this build, although I got lucky and i found a synth belt with 12% increased intelligence implicit with 3 resistances so I am gonna stick with it for a while until I can afford enough resistances elsewhere to switch to Cyclopean coil. Also I am using Energy leech support, I don't like conc effect, I don't know if there is a better other than that. |

Hey, i was wondering (unless i missed it in the guide) what is the "stanrdard" flask setup ? i know there is specials flasks for certain map mod and boss. But what do we need to have "perma" ? if i may ask this way.

Atziri's Promise and Wise Oak are mandatory if you have even a little currency. Don't forget to balance resistances for Wise Oak.
I used Sulfur, Basalt and Granite. But I was very tanky and switched to 2 x Sulfur, Basalt. |

Thanks @airesettia, I'm looking into that right now. Another thing (probably stupid), what purpose does Arctic Armour have if im constantly moving and I chill them with Icestorm? Same goes for Concecrated Ground.

" Conc Effect is mostly for bossing, to reduce the overall area that the icestorm is in to get more hits off. For mapping you used to swap for spell cascade (if your pc can handle it lol), but with 5 icestorm limit, inc aoe is probably better for mapping If you're lazy like me, you can buy 2 staves and have bossing gems on one side and mapping gems in the other " if you cyclone in place (ie. on a boss) you count as 'stationary' for arctic armor. |

" Stick to icetomb, and when you can buy something like this https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/Ypw76lRhY and use jeweller touch prophecy for cheap 5 CWDT curse link |

" I did have a thought that might be the case but im too scared to stand still in case of being 1 hit killed. Last edited by Iced_Star#1396 on Jan 21, 2021, 5:18:31 PM

My dual wield frenzy ichimonji Raider dieded to tier 2 maps. So I'm back to this build.

" the entire point of this build is that with 5-6k ES, adequate defenses (leech, ES regen from scion-occultist, capped res, flasks, etc. etc.) you will be able to facetank most bosses. I haven't played the vanilla version of this build since blight league unfortunately, and my last time playing was in harvest, so I can't tell you exactly what you need to be watching out for when dodging, but at least for most maps that should be sufficient. If you lack survivability, shore up your defensive setups (F&S/steelskin/etc.) and go for more damage int. |

Third league that I'm playing WI build, this time a witch.
This is what I got so far: https://pastebin.com/Ax7udUWc  Going for a Thread of Hope on top to free up some points (just waiting for prices to go down) and a cluster on the right side I found that this armor is very nice for bumping our leech even higher, Spell Damage covers for lack of Int, and super cheap as 5L this league: Working safely though yellow maps for now, done some Maven invites - all pretty easily doable.
