Is herald of ice worth using? Since we don't scale cold damage, the explosion damage will be pretty low right? Last edited by zeroad12x#6144 on Feb 7, 2022, 9:36:45 PM	Posted by zeroad12x#6144 on Feb 7, 2022, 9:24:21 PM Quote this Post

I dont have much (any) real investment into crit right now, but I just assumed that instead of shocking all my hits would at least chill? Also does still having EE have impact on the shock/chill interactions? Last Q, I assume elemental focus would cancel out shaper of storms? No, the way it works is SoS lets all damage shock. This means lightning, fire, cold, phys etc. Then 3 Dragons prohibits lightning, and only lightning, from shocking. So, anything except lightning will now shock. "Your hits always shock" means no crits are required. Finally, the 15% minimum means the damage that shocks doesn't have to be high to meet the ailment threshold - you'll inflict 15% shock with any non lightning damage. However you still need to meet the ailment thresholds to freeze. You cannot actually chill - it's separate from freeze, and 3 Dragons doesn't let you chill. Not sure about EE is that elemental equilibrium? And yes elemental focus does cancel out shaper of storms for the linked skill.

I'm tempted to get a thread of hope to save some points at the top of the tree. I also don't have the same amount of unreserved mana as OP. Anyone mind looking and tooling me up a bit? I'd recommend joining the discord, there's a lot of active players there, and you'll get lots of opinions. To start, you're missing a jewel in your belt, and a craft on your wand :) Overall, your gear is decent! As for the tree, you took lots of Life, more than I have, and I feel that costs you your DPS at this stage. Without DPS, you die quickly.

8.2 Update: Added mana sustain section (Righteous Decree / Inspiration / Dreamer). Added Archemesis section (If you're using any other amazing mods let me know). Added Nadir Mode.

I must admit i'am having fun with this build. Never did Crackling lance before, but kamehameha here i come! But how do you sustain the mana.... I'am running around with 3-4 mana pots just to sustain the upkeep.	Posted by Daggerspine#5716 on Feb 8, 2022, 8:30:18 AM Quote this Post

My fault, I intended to type EO (ele overload). We would drop EO when our Crit Multiplier results in more damage than the 40% more given by EO, is that right? If we have flat cold damage elsewhere, is using Herald of Ice still the best choice? Sorry, I took a year off and apparently purged what little PoE mechanics knowledge I had.

Yeah i'm having mana issues too but things prob get better when you get exposure on hit with the first ascendancy that gives 1% regen?	Posted by Maldice#0854 on Feb 8, 2022, 8:44:42 AM Quote this Post
