One question that I am sure I am just missing something simple. The CWDT is looking to apply 3 different curses with Ball Lightning (frostbite, elemental weakness and Enfeeble, but I only see +1 curse in the tree. (From the Occultist node in Ascendency).

Where am I missing the extra +1 curse?

Thanks!

its whispers of doom right next to CI node

you dont do it til higher levels when you eventually will min-max it all
not everyone gets lucky with the 6 links right away for the curses, so that may have just been a minor oversight (or you didnt look at the end game POB)

EDIT: CWDT+Hextouch just started working and i dont know why.
now im more confused. it works but i have no idea what was causing it to not work.

your ball lightning level needs to stay level 1. if its not, then that might be the issue -> level needs to be below CWDT. hextouch can be whatever level. and the curses can be whatever level, but BallLight must stay below CWDT
yours is level 2 and i know its still below CWDT, but try it at level 1

also check your mana....you still need some mana for CWDT

Hi, i would love to try this build in SSF. Is it viable in SSF?

personally i would not do SSF until things get squared away with drops and Arch Nem....i had to buy the staff and i leveled past 40 with freezing pulse hoping it would "drop"

i didnt have any cards drop during campaign while leveling the character, nor any uniques. its gonna be a tough time for SSF

you might enjoy it more with trade, and then just go about playing SSF style as you progress

ball lightning started working at lvl 2 this morning - though i did change it back to level 1 because... well leveling it is useless.

im just not sure why it didnt work, and thats what was so confusing.
looking at the requirements for hextouch it should have been working.

unless theres some oddly hidden reason why it wouldnt work that i can only learn from reading the wiki front to back.


but it works now! build is a ton of fun. though going CI with only 2.4k shield is scary. still havent yet.

maybe its the level of your hextouch? im not sure.....sorry i forgot ball light can actually go up to lv 4 i believe and still work just fine

might be some weird thing about hextouch being higher level req than curse gems? or within a certain level range?

do you have enough mana to cast ball lightning??? which is in part why it should be kept at lvl 1


i just searched up some new rings that you could also buy to upgrade your stuff

two-stone rings that have 50 dex and/or 40-50 int that will hell you as well as max energy shield

and some have open suffixes to slam more res if you need.

i would recommend you shop around

there are also some 100 ES sorc gloves with 50 int that are worth 2-3 chaos

also 15c max cyclop coil before catalysts


theres plenty of upgrades you can make if you are willing to spend the currency

edit - nevermind ignore this I must have done something wrong in PoB

Is this build not actually strong this league due to fracture and high int rings/necklace

Is this crafting post still accurate with the newest patch? I heard they changed some available recipes?

They removed some harvest crafts, so that post is still accurate.
Only thing to add is, that you can find amulets and rings with +150int from league mechanic. Rings are about as good as %int synth rings looking just damage, so if you find some with downsides you can play with they are good option as well.

Why would having more options make you weaker?

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?

basic stuff that i see from your character, you need more int. also you didn't have to rush into CI right at 58 if it didn't feel good. you can just refund so you can get through the campaign til you get better gear.

also you are moving around right? AN is so rippy that even I can't facetank stuff with WI. i had to take a break with the char and level something else til they fix the balance issues.

Ok thanks :D How much Int should I have? I'm now at 1k Int, is this okay?
It got something better after I took the Ghost Reaver node :D

Yes, I never stop to move. What is AN and WI ?

AN is ArchNemesis referring to the chance of rare monsters to have certain modifiers that make them extra fast and dangerous.
1k Int is solid but you still need more. At 86 I have just under 1500 int and 6100 energy shield and I definitely need a lot more to do high tier maps. However I heavily recommend investing in The Stampede unique boots, they're not cheap but being able to move at 150% speed while in cyclone feels so good and gives you much better ability to kite and avoid damage while still hurting enemies. They also cut your Frostblink cooldown by a huge amount so you can dodge attacks easily.
