[3.19] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
" 1. Hatred/Purity of Elements 30% increased mana efficiency on helmet enchant. 2. 1% improved mana reservation on jewels. You probably did #1 already, given you aren't at >100% reservation. Problem is, we need other implicits on the jewels. So the general solution is to take a different path for the hatred build, giving (if I recall correctly) an extra two jewel sockets for stuff. | |
" Actually found a better way. If I get awakened enlighten level 5 and corrupt the boots to +1 gem levels, I end up with 188 mana which should be enough. Right now, the only issue is finding an awakened enlighten level 5 that isn't 240 ex. Might try to get the boots to double corrupt with +2 to aura gems as well. With all these changes + adding watcher's eye with added cold damage and cold penetration, I almost end up getting a 50% damage increase. I'm losing around 3k es, some max leech that I got from the watcher's eye discipline mod and the phy to cold hit mod. It feels like this change is needed to be able to do feared 300+ iiq or uber uber elder comfortably. |

@kasar_dobi: well done. The stuff you can do near league's end... amazing.

" It's been alot of fun playing this build. It's a really well done all around build. I gotta say though that it doesn't really excel in anything. It's good for mapping, good for bossing and able to do every content that the game has to offer right now. However, it's not a dedicated bosser and it can't really faceroll double beyond full juiced maps. Next league I'll probably league start this build and then gonna build a dedicated bosser. |

If there are no recombinators or their equivalent in the next league, I am going to be sad, as the amulets will be too expensive again.
| |
" Well yeah, you will have to reforge keep suffixes 100 times :D |
|
" Nah. It'd be cheaper just to pay the 50 ex for it. | |

I've played the scion version of this build and built it many times over the past few years.
Recently, a lot of things have appeared in the game that made playing this build, with all its strength, somewhat annoying (like Maven's "Absorb pain", lengthening the battle by 10 times), or the need to sometimes chase some surviving mobs. But, having tried this version, I was delighted, because it closes all those moments that annoyed me very much for scion. With this build, you can go from acts to Feared, investing in the build that will fall out and it's priceless. Thanks for the great build! | |

bad :/
Solution: Remove the mana reservation efficiency mastery and reduce the power of the aura effect and life reservation efficiency masteries. |
|
|
Without reservation mastery, we need Enlighten 4 plus a 1% reservation affix on a gem to be at 2% unreserved mana. Sadly all of my gem affixes are for Stun, so I'm guessing we may need to go Scion for the extra gem slots.
