you ripped yourself of that awesome bonus damage from EE.

Well, not really, I am using Malachai ring with storm band in it.

Can someone have a look at my char? I dont really deal a lot of dmg. I have nearly 12k ES and T16 maps are okay but guardians take ages

Sorry mate, but you are the perfect example how to mess up EE totally, so you deal near 0 damage to bosses/monsters that dont die on first hit :).

First of all you have frost bomb first in weapon. Put it second and storm brand first.
Second you have another frost bomb in your cwdt setup. Remove and replace with enfeeble.
Third and most important, you have flat cold to spells on your weapon. You will never ever profit from EE with that weapon.

Hope that helps

Also, i'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think the doom cast wheel was particularly useful for this build?

Can you explain the EE thing? I dont understand why the flat Cold damag eis a problem.

And isnt my enfeeble linked in my head anyways?

Ooooh wait. Since its +cold damage, that means i buff them with 50% cold resis? Would one with fire dmg work?

I explained EE one page before.

And yes, as long as it isnt flat cold (no matter on which item, jewel, etc), it will work.

Thanks! I just annuled it off :D Its waaaay faster now haha

I'm at endgame SSF wanting to craft a GG weapon, and I'm wondering why Opal Sceptre is the recommended crafting base? Wands (eg. Opal Wand, Prophecy Wand) have the same implicit damage boost but a noticeably higher crit chance for proccing EO.

Why is it important to put Storm Brand first in the weapon? Doesn't it cycle through the spell anyways?

Okay, I managed to roll a good base for crafting (I think):

What now? What are the best mods?

55-66% Spell damage
51-60& Cold damage + 10-11% Chance to Freeze

Multimod
Cast Socketed Spells

Is that right or is there a better Prefx?

Yeah, I don't think sceptres are actually that much better. The crit chance from Wands is only related to attacks, so it doesn't help with EO triggering. But the Attributes are way easier to meet. Doesn't matter much I suppose.

If I were to use a golem on the cwdt setup with this build, what would be the better one? stone?
