Scion - [3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything - Forum

lvl 64 so far, lucky drop of tremor rod financed astramendis and stampede, currently at 1278 int(1k life, 2k ES), smooth as butter, i also like new visuals of ice storm + it now makes this machine like sound loop as it hits (i dont know how to describe it better) but it synchronizes with hits, so you can see on bosses chunk after chunk of hp dropping with this machine-like sound, vary satisfying	Posted by adambog on Sep 19, 2020, 12:11:58 PM Quote this Post
Made it to mapping...took me like 18 hours of dawdling haha I'm LVL 68 though Lvling in a group is not worth it. Much more efficient solo. I have 4k es, 1k intellect and capped resists roughly by the time I started mapping. Got a max int% 6 socket 5 link WI staff for 5chaos, 10 alchs and 10 transmutes lol....can't hit the 6th colour though so am stuck with BBBGRR until I farm more chroms. Build feels good but needs some gem love and theorycrafting for bosses. Last edited by Hemzokuken on Sep 19, 2020, 12:46:01 PM	Posted by Hemzokuken on Sep 19, 2020, 12:44:19 PM Quote this Post

A T16 magic Purifier Elder Guardian Promenade with +40% Monster Resistance Using these sextants: Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable Unavailable 3. And finally a T16 Blighted Promenade * I have respecced into a defensive tanky version with an ES on hit Watcher's Eye. * I have removed Awakened Elemental Focus, Awakened Controlled Destruction & Hypothermia from the staff and will only use Cyclone, Lvl6 Awakened CwC, Lvl 21 Concentrated Effect (as well as Fortify & Infused Channelling for immortality's sake <:-} ) Tomorrow when the patch is released. I will do the same thing over again to try out all the new mechanics. I have a 2nd Simulacrum, a 2nd identical T16 Resistant Purifier Promenade & another Blighted Promenade ready waiting for that when the time comes. I will record all the runs. Edit: Ofcourse I will take out my explode chest. I will use this piece instead that is from my Delirium character: The test has been completed now.

I'm at act 9 and just bought a mark of submission with punishment as my second curse. Absolute game changer for clear without the need to run hoi + freeze, give it a try.	Posted by daniwithd on Sep 19, 2020, 4:59:21 PM Quote this Post
Any changes in 3.12 ? I'm gonna try this build this league.	Posted by UltimateID on Sep 19, 2020, 5:05:26 PM Quote this Post
There's a remarkable number of cheap 6S 5L WI staves up for sale. These were 30c+ each at the start of the last league. Have to wonder if there's a heist that drops that specifically, and that's GGG's apology to us for the 5 storm limit... ------------------ Huh. I am really enjoying this league. The heists are nicely tuned to be worth doing as you level up, with the possibility of significant and usable rewards. And the higher level ones are difficult enough that I can fail them from time to time. And the delirium mirrors seem a bit more common than they did in Harvest. Anyone feel that way?

Yes, i feel like I have seen more delirium mirrors so far, and I only just hit Act 9.	Posted by Bab03 on Sep 20, 2020, 12:00:55 AM Quote this Post
