[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything

just dinged 69 and fully switched to CI, leech works, so no bug there, but 10% (40% old VP vs new 30% GR) is noticible

leveled with self found gear, done some trading (vaal -> chaos etc) whole gear worth around 40c (16c astra + 4c staff 17% int + 20c ES gear)

jumped there on resistances :)

1k Int, 4.1k es & resi capped @ lvl 69



I don't know what I'm doing wrong... Could someone point it out to me.
My items aren't that much different than Hardon's (except a little less ES on the chest piece), and I even picked up a few extra ES passive nodes. I'm sitting at 2.6k ES (with Discipline active!)

Found a Thiefs tourment wich sponsered 15 of 20c for my Astra
getting lucky is the key sometimes
Bought the Body for 4c, rest is ssf

EO uptime with controlled destruction still seemns fine.
And im not even running a cwdt-ball lightning setup yet

Icestorm Crit chance is at 4.2% with no crit investment beside snowforged
I recently started maps and feel like I am hitting like a wet noodle, do I have to get my staff to 6 sockets to do any damage? Also coloring all blue and 1 green has been a giant pain in the ass.

Anyone have any suggestions or just slug through it?

Like if I got astra and a string of servitude and 6 soc colored staff is that all I need?

Thanks enjoyed it up till after I killed kitava then it got hard but I guess that is because I am only on a 4 link.

Thanks
Guys, don't switch to CI and to Ice storm for that matter until you have all the gear. Playing Life Cold Snap - Vortex is more damage and is faster anyway. Just farm with that until you get what you need to transition to CI.

CwC link breaks Spell Cascade for icestorm and any ES leech.

Be warned.
Unplayable for now.

Not unplayable, only clear speed will suffer a bit without Spell Cascade. As for ES leech.. isn't it's just the gem that currently doesn't work with CwC? Maybe you can't just facetank everything until this is fixed but I wouldn't go so far as to say the current situation is "unplayable".
Timezone: GMT +10 (Australia). CASUAL player but I play whenever I can.

First and foremost, you need intelligence on your gear. Your damage scales off intelligence. Helm, Amulet, Both Rings, Belt .. none of yours has int on it.

Also no need for GMP in your staff, your primary damage comes from blizzard which isn't a projectile. I'd suggest adding in Elemental Focus.
While leveling around 40 I found that self cast ice storm is working well with intensify, unleashed, and spell cascade since the later still works without cwc. Not optomised at all but huge AOE with the two new supports and is much more fun for now.
