I saw you updated the hextouch links, how does the build work now with regular hextouch support linked to 2 curses (frostbite and enfeeble)? I thought we only get 1 curse we can apply and need awakened hextouch for 2 curses? Just wondering! First time playing a build like this and thanks for all your hard work on the guide.

The build has you grab Malediciton for the +1 curse. If you'd prefer to grab Profane Bloom or something else, Awakened Hextouch or the +1 curse passive on the tree work just as good!

Ah I see, I forgot to check if there were ascendency changes. I swear earlier today it had Profane Bloom! Thanks a ton.

Is this good league starter? I usually play only 1 character per league and I'm looking something what to do in this league and this looks promising. Is this something I can play from start to finish and clear everything?

Is there a reason we don't grab 2 Frozen Trails?

○ Act 1:
-Grab Stormblast Mine and link it with Arcane Surge + Added Lightning Damage + Added Cold Damage. You can opt for Arc later, but I prefer Stormblast Mine.

Arcane Surge doesn't work with mines does it?

The idea is that a second spell (Orb of Storms) will also be linked with Arcane Surge, and you use that to proc it - the Arcane Surge gem also grants %more spell damage to the linked spell while you have Arcane Surge, which will work with the mine.

Ah I see. Cheers!

Here's the gear I was wearing when I killed Kitava. Mostly garbage from the ground/quest rewards.

I got lucky with a 6L drop from a Vaal Side area. I need to recolor it to 4B2G when I have enough vaal orbs to try.

I'm going to keep running the Spellslinger setup until yellow/red maps.

Next steps is to buy a Rime Gaze, unlock trigger craft and Harvest craft this beauty.



I will be swapping to CI pretty soon.

My Current Gear:

I know I got lucky with the chest corrupt but I am loving this at the moment. I am blasting through early maps and I am basically unkillable. And that with lots of stuff that I could still optimize. Looking forward to killing maven with this build!
