Then moved Elemental Weakness + Frostbite + Enfeeble to a 4L with Bane to apply all 3 curses in one very quick cast on a huge AoE radius.



The rest of your post is very promising -- thanks for the ideas.

Here, I'm asking where do you get the third curse? Occultist only gives us +1 curse for a total of 2 (we don't normally path to the +1 curse keystone.)

Presumably you have it set up and working, so I am really curious.
Can someone please respond to a levelling skill?

Using mines is clunky as fuck and the damage of that frost wave feels low.

What other options from 1-38?

I pathed to Whispers of Doom as its only 3 passives, even after the move.
convert cold to fire + avatar of fire and add firestorm xDDD

The way the reservation is calculated is much trickier than I thought. If there's 1 non support spell and n supports, then the reservation is the support reservations multiplied together and then multiplied by 30% or whatever.

However, if there are TWO non support spells, each not support spell has a weight of 1, so two of them give a weight of two, and thus the mana reservation is doubled.

So you need to take WINTER or COLD SNAP out of the second spellslinger links.


This is what I am going to try (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdoHPedhC68&t=1585s). Thanks to LiNGeN for this idea; he deserves the credit.

If it works for you, sure. Note we don't take any minion support passives at all.

All this would do is add 3 “storms” to the 5 while taking away 2 damage scaling gems.

You wouldn’t even get use of EE to try and make up for losing penetration, and you’d just swap out frostbite for flammability.

This just isn’t a good option.


So far, stacking 15 Vortex AoE DoT’s on top of 10 Frostbolts is clearly the best option. It’s the only thing that doesn’t interrupt ice storms while giving us 10:1 and 5:1 up to 15:1 additive damage per 5:1 ice storms. It also blankets the entire screen making spell cascade (gem swap) completely unnecessary.

It’s very similar to the Cospri CoC Ice Nova Assassin concept, except we’re replacing Nova’s with Vortexes. But like that build, we are getting free Vortexes generated from Frostbolts. We just don’t have to manage our volume with cool down recovery speed because CwC is generating Frostbolts and we’re self-casting “instant” Vortex at the same time.

Hell, I don’t know if this would be illegal or not (maybe GGG can clarify?), but we could put cyclone on our right mouse button, and then simply map the key Vortex is on to also be the right mouse button, and effectively one-button the entire process.

If that’s not permitted, then obviously just manually hold down both keys. But if it is okay, well... makes this easy.
