Hmm, I find the clear speed with Winter Orb to be very good.

Winter Orb yes. This build using it, no. If you think this build clears fast I'm not sure you know what fast clearing is. This is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

So returning Blinding Blizzard player here. Played in the Beserker and Scion days. Just respecced a Necro to try the Occultist version.

Rocking about 9.8k Energy shield and 1689 intelligence. I am sitting on about 6ex worth of currency. Wondering if anyone would have any advice on what order to upgrade.

Clearly the gems aren't there yet but I expect I need to push my INT to bump up the energy shield. Was thinking of buying Coils and ammys and corrupting them to see if I get lucky but am open to other options. Any help would be appreciated.

I suppose I could start trying to craft a chest piece. I have the alts.

Nah, earthquake Jugg is slow. WI is medium (I actually haven't bothered to get a 5L staff for Winter's Orb level 20 clearing.)

I'd be curious as to what you'd consider would be builds that (a) clear faster than WI/Winter's Orb (b) don't need more than 10-20c worth of gear to level up and start mapping (c) are at least as tanky as WI (presumably leech builds only.)

Map clearing isn't slow at all for me.

By the way, anyone can help answer how to get 6% int implicit? Thanks

Useful information

I decided to try my hand at crafting a synthesized Int ring. Gotta do something while working on the grind challenges, right?

How synthesis works:

Spoiler

You combine 3 rare items of the same type. The game pools all explicit mods found on them together and rolls a dice. One of those explicit mods is chosen for synthesis. Then the game calculates the total value of that mod across all 3 items and creates a synthesized implicit mod based on that value.

Having the same mod on all 3 items increases the chance of it being chosen, but it's not guaranteed. The game can choose any explicit mod from any of the 3 items. The fewer mods to choose from the better, so normally you want to use magic items with the mod you need and regal them to make them rare with 1 extra junk mod.

All possible results can be found in PoEdb. Use the search box to filter it. The 'Value' column is a bit confusing: you need the value greater of equal to the value of the PREVIOUS rank of the mod. For example, the top rank of the %Int mod for rings says '200' but you actually need the amount of Int from the previous rank (160).

When there are multiple outcomes in the right column, one of them is chosen at random.

One of the 3 bases from the initial items is randomly chosen for the resulting item. That item receives the implicit mod and the highest ilvl from the 3 initial items.

The recipe: 3 fractured rare rings with a total of 160+ Int.

You can:
a) get rings with 54+ Int fractured mod (0.5-1 ex currently) and scour+regal+annul them. This is expensive but guarantees the Int result. Note: fractured mods cannot be divined, and you need 160+ Int;
b) grab any fractured rings ilvl 82+ with 1 fractured prefix, scour them and alt spam the 51+ Int suffix (may need to divine 51 Int to a higher value to make sure the sum is 160+).
Then regal to make them rare and combine in the Memory Nexus.

If the game chooses Int, you get one of the two outcomes:
a) Arcane Surge on hit with spells - currently sells for 8 ex;
b) 6% increased Int - that's what you want.

You can also skip the synthesis crafting described above and simply buy a synthesized 6% Int base for 3 ex.

And then have fun crafting it any way you like. Alt spam and regal, chaos spam, or essence spam. Maybe imprint, annul or even exalt slam if it looks promising enough.

You obviously want 51+ Int. And whatever resists you currently need. ES would be a nice bonus, but not a priority.

I had several fractured ilvl 82+ rings and alt spammed T1 Int on them. The first two results:

I really don't know if that's lucky or just normal. But it looks like a decent way to craft some nice rings for this build, or at least to make some currency.

If that's not an impressive build, then I don't know what is.
