2. I crafted several cold damage cluster jewels with 'Cold to Core'. Is there an easy way to know whether the node can be allocated before the socket? When there is only one notable, it is always between the two sockets. When there are two notables, 'Cold to Core' is always the one between the two sockets which requires more skill points to allocate :-(.

What I did in standard, since availability seemed low when I was looking for these, was ...

1. Alt-Aug-Regal for CttC and Prismatic Heart. You will need to hit the second notable with a Regal since they are both Prefixes.
2. Harvest re-roll keeping Prefixes and some exalts for open suffixes until you hit a third notable as a suffix. Widespread Destruction is the one you want for best placement, but Disorienting Display is not horrible for the 2 extra points (Damage and better blind). It did push Prismatic Heart to the third spot when I crafted that one.

How good is cold penetration compared to concentrated effect?
I've got no clue how to compare it in the PoB :/

Just change <no active skills> - > conc effect into cold pen.

I know how to swap gems in PoB, but since icestorm doesn't use the link in the PoB (Firestoem is the one with the links) then changing doesn't show me anything

What? Icestorm uses gems that are socketed in whispering ice. So you just have to click Socketed in: and pick whatever is your whispering ice (weapon 1 i guess).

hi, im interested in playing this build it looks like it would be up my alley for what i want in a character this league but i need to know how you deal with curses on maps, id really prefer not to roll curses off every map as they seem incredibly common now that i have to care about them.

also how is the damage while clearing and on single targets, i havent considered whispering ice since they limited the number of storms.

So I just got 6S in my staff and checked the mana regen without Inspiration.

Working just fine! I'm outregenning it with lv 19 Clarity, and slowly losing mana without Clarity.

Bye-bye, Inspiration! :) And if they un-nerf the mana multipliers just a bit in the next patch then we won't even need Clarity. Or Dreamer (3 points), may be more valuable.

Hey I agree but is Elemental Focus the best replacement for it? Genuinely asking cant think of anything on top of my head if anyone has ideas?

For most curses I think you will be fine to just play as normal once geared. I did one shot myself though against phys reflect in a vuln map due to a 20/20 wave of conviction. Now with 1/20 its not a problem, but I never encountered this previously with a warding flask perma-up.

Something like this can be used for Ele Weak maps, as with a bit of killing its near 21 sec of uptime as bismuth flasks are now 15/40 uses.

If you want to go the extreme, Yugul + Belt curse lab enchant + asylum (3 pts on the tree) will get you to 90% curse effect reduction while on consecrated ground.

Arctic Armour freeze immunity is now in the game.

is it immune while stationary and you have the 'less dmg taken' buff or at all times? the wording suggests it isn't up permanently but i can't check in-game right now.
