[2.1] SuperNova - 200k+ AoE dps ! Insane clear speed - Super fun - Atziri viable | Featured by GGG!

Does Herald of Ice work with support skills? I have Herald of Ice with Ice Bite and culling strike, and both shows on the tooltip of Herald of Ice.

However, even when (act 3 boss)Dom's hp was < 10%, culling did not activate. Did I miss out something?

I've really been enjoying this build, but I feel like I've hit a wall at level 70. My dps with full charges is around 18k, and I feel like I do plenty of damage to kill everything. However, I feel extremely weak. I can barely get through a dried lake without dying.

I have about 2.3k health and 600 ES.

Here's my gear

Any ideas?

Herald of Ice's EFFECT is culling. not the existence of the aura itself.
The mini freezing explosions cull what they hit if its has 10% hp.

@Gorillagrip, your HP is extremely low. Before I give you my answer i'd like to see your passive tree.

most fun I've had with a build in a long time. fantastic work man.
I've been toying around with the new blasphemy gem with dual curse and it's super neat and efficient in terms of hp/mana regains and warping/destroying everywhere really fast. The downfall is 70% reduced mana w/o enlighten, so no AA for tankiness. But thusfar, I've had no problems (lv. 78 and counting). Also without a PoH or Taryn...or anything else nice..mostly self found gear atm.
Anyway, what are your thoughts on using blasphemy?

Overall great gem, but won't realy fit for us since we need AA.
AA works perfect with us because our playstyle is mostly stationary.

We already manage to easily dual curse with L.Warp so we don't realy have to bother with blasphemy.

Glad you enjoy dude!

I know you've linked the original guide for this Build which was ES based. But i wonder can you run this build as CI? I would love to run this build as ES character

Hey man. The build is viable and working great as CI [it was at 2.0, no reason for it not to work at 2.1].

But sadly I do not know the Passive tree for this build, so I rather not mislead you.

I have even less clue that's why im asking here :D
Oh well then I'll just do the normal version. Thanks anyways great guide

Sorry about that, forgot the passive tree.

Here's my passive tree: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwMABUIFtQceDdEOSA-rD8QRDxGWFkAWbxa_GGodFCBuIuokiyaVKU8qCyo4LJwtHzlSOlg7fDwFPV9BlkSrSVFMs1AwUXRSU1VLVa5VxleUWAdd8mHiY0NknWaea7dwUn_GghCCm4V9idOMNo2_jmSO6Y9Gj6aP-pUglS6XlZo7m6Gf36KjppmsmK6ztvq4ysBmwfPDOtD11abbXt-w42rjhOjW6_XtPO988NXyHfem99f60g==?accountName=Gorillagrip&characterName=IdiiotSavant

Will add it to my original post as well.

Hey tsachiy1, First time poster here.

I'm currently leveling with your build on the new tempest servers but I am a relatively new player

What is it in the build that causes something to ignite, as I assume you would want that with Flame surge, Does added fire damage actually ignite things while connected to Flame surge(I don't have it linked up yet as I'm only in early cruel)? Or do I need to use another ability to ignite my target? I have been trying Flammability, but it seems that flame surge will not ignite, even with this curse on

Also, thank you for the easy to read guide, I cannot wait to see it in action late game...

And another nub question if i may.. I noticed you said this is evasion based, Is there a reason evasion is a better choice? As I find my rangers often die ~70 ish due to getting a statistically unlikely scenario of never dodging. Whereas armor/shield would have definately prevented it. Never was a fan of RNG :D
