[3.1]Shaper Down on budget 4-link –That Poet's Pen(“instant leech”_Glacial Cascade & Firestorm 2in1)

How did you fix the slow run speed without any movement skill?

Thanks for clearing that up - on the same subject, will Hatred not affect lightning golem? ( I'm assuming lightning golems don't normally do physical damage )

Hatred is an aura therefore it affects Golems. However Lightning Golem does pure lightning damage so it won't be affected.

Great build so far. I think nerf on his way :D This reminded me coc builds so much and i love it.

I got one question tho. Have you tried 2 long winter for damage conversion instead of using hrimsorrow? We can ditch one of the abyss jewel and normal jewel so we can use more useful gloves like voidbringer, cold volkuur's guidance, maligaro or rare gloves to compensate life from the jewels. In the end we have more life and additional burst from the long winter jewel.

Sorry if this asked before i searched but couldnt find. There were questions about hrimsorrow but noone asked about long winter i guess.

1. 2 Long Winter increases the cost. :D

2. Most importantly, you may actually lose DPS by sacrificing two jew slots for the Long Winter. Yes you can use gloves like voidbringer/maligaro. However the DPS from the gloves may not make up for losing two "crit multiplier" on rare jews. The Long Winter makes GC travel further indeed, but the travel distance of GC doesn't change its clear speed much, let alone single target.

If you can get the GC enchant on the helmet then you can use whatever gloves. It could be expensive though.

Reached level 70 and the survivability against packs is insane - ran into a pack of 15 cannot be damaged mobs ( shrine ) when my mouse disconnected for about 5 secs and my life bar barely moved.

Bought a starkonja with glacial cascade conversion damage so I can use tombfist - 10% more damage, attack speed and %increased life with 2 jewel slots ( even a cheap tombfist with just 1 slot ) is probably BiS.

I'm using Kaom's heart so only have one CWDT set up - CWDT-firestorm-ball lightning-warlord's mark

I'm projecting at level 88 I'll have 7 jewel slots and over 7.8k hp.

Looking forward to doing elemental reflect map and seeing if I'll survive with Soul of Yugul and Sibyl's lament swap

Wouldn't a fingerless silk glove base (16 spell damage) with attack speed and life with a resist or two be better?

So intimidate doesn't work for spells, just realised that so time to check my glove options.

Levelled an inq with poet's unearth/volatile, but got bored, searched for a new build to play with poet's and found yours - boy, am I glad I found your build, it's blast(cascade if you will) to play and I'm really it enjoying so far(level 71, while typing)!!!

Levelling was definitely a highlight with this build. I used volatile dead with gc and firestorm and it was so smooth, especially after I got the abyss helmet with the spirit bursts.

So I tried my first red elder guardian at 82 and found the build to be a bit squishier that I'd like. Still got him, but was thinking of going to Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics for a bit more defense. Has anyone tried that?
