[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything
|
Scorching Ray (and Winter's Orb) gets "rebalanced" in Synthesis. We will see!

" Wow that ES! Nice vid. |

" All spells get rebalanced in 3.6. This means 3.6 will be a massive clusterfuck, just like every previous patch with massive rebalances. Expect a lot of bad changes, destroyed skills, broken OP skills, and the worst of all - crash bugs. I don't know if Icestorm will be included in the rebalance since it's not a regular skill. Winter Orb likely will be included, and since it was so massively popular in 3.5 it may get a nerf to break its monopoly (and the total dominance of cold damage Occultists in 3.5). The new flask, if it's reasonably available, looks very good: more damage taken by the enemy you are tanking. Some of the new Holy/Chaos things may also be useful for this build, depending on how they work. Now we need the details. |

out of curiosity logged on my fire-based ascendant in standard and i must admitt it feels soooooo fragile compared to occultist so as long as they dont completely destroy current cold occultis version im sticking with it for next league

I saw that earlier and wondered if you'd do anything with it.
I wonder if I'll get a better chest before this league ends. Still haven't had any luck crafting. I've put about 200c into it with fossils and no luck. Had a decent watcher's eye drop on me and I'm sitting on 30ex but haven't even found one for sale yet. |

It can be tough to find good armor for this build. I looked for weeks before I finally found my current armor. The prices for ES gear went nuts this league...I see one for sale now that looks good but someone is asking 150ex for it which is ridiculous. I only paid about 1/10 of that for mine and all this one has is a bit more ES and roughly the same amount of INT.
I've noticed the same for the %Int rings...most are way overpriced but with some patience and live searching I eventually found some reasonably priced ones. Good luck. |

This build has been amazing this league. I usually don't go past Lv 90 during leagues but since dying is so hard with this build I just kept going like the Energizer rabbit. I'm at Lv 95 with 2200 INT and just under 13,000 ES. Could push for Lv 96 (almost half way there) but I'm pretty content to just have fun as the league ends and not do anything too difficult. Killing Uber Atziri deathless was the highlight for me this league and a first for me with PoE (been playing since 1.3.1).
I managed to get decent endgame gear except for a %Int belt as the few I've seen for sale are around 30ex or more. Another 5-6% Int just isn't worth it to me for that price. My final tweak to was to get all of my resistances equal so that I could finally add a Wise Oak for a little more defense and cold penetration. The hardest part was getting %Int rings with any elemental resist and then balancing this out with a jewel or two. So here's what I ended up with: Thank you so much for a great build Kelvynn - I became a much better player because of it! |

I just hit 2300 int! But only at 11,5k ES. lvl 96 and closing on 97 I did some gear upgrades after dinging 96 and have been having an easy ride. For the remainder of the league I'm going to ding 97 then work on Uber Elder, I think I can take him now.
Here's where I've ended gear wise. I like these passive jewels that give +int and +int + something else for extra int. All that in adds to those % ints! The belt is the first thing in PoE I corrupted. I previously had lvl 86 so I've done a lot and learned a lot with it! Thanks again for the guide! Not sure how to link the skill tree jewels without moving them into my stash or something? Last edited by teknik1200#3150 on Feb 21, 2019, 12:21:07 AM
