just a minor misunderstanding. recharge is a separate mechanic vs regeneration. Regeneration is always occurring, and recharge only kicks in when damage stops. so in the case of Zealoth's oath, the regen is always happening. In the case of Ghost Reaver, you just lose the recharge mechanic, but you keep the regen mechanic (while also having the ES leech)

Can someone explain to me how icestorm is so strong in this build? I like to understand the theory behind it.

Instead of using Ball Lightning, will Arc work just as good?

its massive damage that scales with int, and is stackable dmg. you can cast multiple icestorms (up to 5) in one area, and it will beat down on mobs or a boss til they ultimately melt

the more int you get, the more dmg you get, and also the more your defenses get buffed with the ES scaling. not to mention there is all of the ES leech that comes with it, and a bunch of other helpful things like stun immunity

arc will work if you really wanna use it, but the range will be terrible

ball lightning will consistently travel in whatever direction, has a huge aoe, and will keep hitting everything multiple times while cursing everything in its path

its hard to beat ball lightning for curse application. arc will pale in comparison. you can use both to see what i mean
Even more AoE than WoC?

that i cannot answer properly as i know eventually we will use phantasmal wave of conviction for the purpose of cold exposure...though that is more of a 20q and you purposefully casting it (or CWDT) to apply cold exposure

i think in over for wave of conviction to travel further, you would need to mess with its skill effect duration....which you wont be able to because of phantasmal

so ball lightning probably ends up being the furthest and biggest aoe reach for curse application

Hi, this is my first time playing this build and I love it <3
But since I took CI at Lvl 58 (after the leech nodes) I'm dying sometimes really fast. Am i doing something wrong?

Can't answer if we can't see your character. What's your ES and int? Do you have a flask to remove corrupting blood?
Why is Cast while Channeling supposed to be lvl 15-16 with no quality?

I see it in the guide, but can't find any explanation.
