[3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
" In this league? I would not recommend playing HC on any build that can take damage. It's all Necro again in HC, looks like. | |
" It's an interesting item if you aren't planning to go far. But it costs more than that in the endgame. Your movement speed is fixed 150% without having to use Quicksilver. But it also means you will never have 205% movement speed (35% ms boots + 30% QS) even when you want it. And 2 resist mods have a LOT of value. You would have to get those resists elsewhere, at the price of more Int. I've actually tried Frostblink in this league. Sadly, the 1-charge limit makes it suck even after a buff. Casting speed isn't very important, but being able to blink 2-3 times in a row can be a life (or time) saver. The damage is irrelevant compared to Icestorm. You would be better off using Flame Dash with those boots. | |

hm slam Leo for random prefix or use orb of redeemer?) |

" It's kind of a play style choice. With these boots on, I never stop spinning. 150% movement speed while using cyclone is = 215% movement speed. That's faster than using 35% boots AND a quicksilver of adrenaline together. You DO lose the ability to run at 205% movement speed while backtracking however. I've also found that since so much of our defense is leech, always being surrounded by Icestorms makes the game safer. Because I'm always spinning, flame dash is a giant pain for me to use, since in order to use it I have to lift my cyclone button, wait .2 seconds, then try to dash. I've found that I just don't do that in practice, and it's gotten me killed, however with Frostblink, it still works during the cyclone animation, and I'm using it all the time. Anyway, it's probably mostly up to how you are used to playing, and muscle memory. Last edited by Breken on Mar 19, 2020, 12:44:51 PM

" You're playing also on 10-12 FPS? I guess not playing on low FPS make it it even more rewarding :) |
