[3.25] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
" This build in credibly sturdy in maps because of the evasion chance and high leech. Until you have 8-10k ES, you might not be able to facetank conquerors, especially their high-damage attacks. You'll need to dodge them. However, goign with the self-cast staff and staying at a distance between applications of Vortex can help, as you might have more time to get away from Baran slams or Veritania tornadoes. |

" Drox drops banners that give him immunity to damage. Blast the banners when they spawn and Drox falls over like a limp noodle. | |

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in this thread. I had never beaten a Uber boss before in 700 hours of playtime and it always seemed so out of reach. I've just finished the challenge to kill 4 Ubers! Defeated Shaper, Searing Exarch, Cortex and Eater of Worlds. I'm super excited!
Now on to beat Sirus and Maven. This is going to be painful but so satisfying! And when I beat Uber Uber Elder... then I'll know I've beaten PoE! |

" my current chest is low/mid at best and far from top tier but like i said, it's a start ;) poe is going down fast. Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 have no performance issues. play them instead

" That's definitely a top-tier chest. Switching to a comparable Sadist Garb would add some defenses, but all in all, you've got a very good armor on your hands. you get -1300 EV but + 100 ES from the base. With all of the nice affixes you have on there, unless you're min-maxing, you're in business. It's probably worth a couple dozen divines. If you don't have a crapload of currency, you probably have a bunch of much cheaper upgrades before this one. |

Yep, it's definitely top-tier, just worth a bit more to a full-ES build than an EV/ES like ours. But agreed it will cost a lot to replace with something of equal or higher quality, I just didn't know what the economy in Standard was like - I had assumed it was better than League since there's more stuff there.

I just picked both of these up - thoughts on which is better to run with?
My thinking is that the 10%/10% is better for general purpose, but keep the other one around for no leech and ele reflect maps? |
|
" I'd definitely go with the first one. It gives you tankiness and phys mitigation. I ran one like it for the longest time before switching to Mana as ES/Cold damage with Hatred. It really helped. I'd just reroll reflect and no leech maps, it's less trouble than switching the jewel anyway. EDIT : BTW, did you buy them? If so, how much was the 10/10? Just curious, I have one for sell right now, though I'm in Kalandra. Last edited by WinterHiko on Oct 7, 2022, 3:15:00 PM

" I got very lucky with the 10/10, I think the seller must have been quitting league as it was under 1 div. There's a 10/9 on trade now for 2 div though so it's not worth that much. Based on what you said, I might re-list the other as I could probably get closer to 10 div for it. I have another reflect jewel I can keep around instead that doesn't have ES on hit. |

Should I just exalt slam hoping for +ev & + es ? |
