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

Thanks for the guide! I've been running something similar this league and definitely incorporated a few things I learned from you into it. So, I'd like to give back a little.

I'd suggest putting a "Might of the Meek" in the jewel slot above the witch starting area. You lose out on the Frost Walker notable, but you gain 45 base int, 35% cold damage, and a few other chill/freeze bonuses.

I feel as if I hit a wall. I am at 8000 energy shield now with discipline but I feel I did not do well with gearing this character. I am wondering if I should replace one of my rings with Malachai's Artifice, put a blue gem in and then gear without lightning resistance, unless there's another way and I am gearing wrong and I should just build currency?

I looked at your gear, first of all keep in mind this is not my guide. But you do not have arcane surge support at all, be more important to link that to flame dash than anything. I have Arcane surge linked to Orb of Storms AND Flame Dash so its pretty easy 100% butt> You don't need faster cast for flame dash in my opinion. Just make sure the box is checked to cast without moving and its always quick for me.

There are a few other questionable links. Or lack of links between gems. From what I can see you might have too much Dexterity (Dex on gloves) and not immune to Ignite. Str needs to be higher than Dex and if you keep Dex off your gear, that is easy to do following the guide.

You also have no sulphur flask which would be a lot better than the Atziri flask. You have CI you do not need any chaos resist. You shouldn't need a mana flask from my experience with this build thus far.

After all that, I will ask, are you have any real issues?

meep nvm

Level 81 - finally broke 6k ES and am doing more mapping. Much stronger now. Made this with an essence and it's not too bad for a self made chest when you're low on funds:



Still need to finish Uber Lab, just 2 trials to go.

Well, in actuality, if you plan ahead, then ANY base type of ring will be worthless, because at the end all of it become 6% int corruption :)

I have no intention of pursuing that but ok?

Anyone with a clearspeed video? That it can kill bosses is pretty clear but I afraid of clearspeed (high maps, delves, incursions).

It's strong and fast enough to do delves and incursions but map clear speed isn't the best per say due to the nature of stopping to channel. There's worse, there's better.

Atziri flask is 10-15% MORE damage (instead of 40% increased damage from sulphur), and extra leech. It was not possible to use it with fire version because of avatar of fire, but now it's a good option IMO.
You can also take both atziri and sulphur

Mana flask is only useful in order to do no regen maps.

Someone could indicate the skillgems using for this build, in the corresponding gear, with order of priority, etc. It'd help me because i'm still a little confused with some skillgems to use, etc.
