[3.25] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
" That mod is actually present in the video. By the end of it I have 2 Ruin (debuff icon on the left). It's a mob that teleports around randomly and casts Ruin on you if you are nearby. It rarely gets you when you are constantly moving. In maps you just don't choose it until round 9-10. In the Inscribed ones it just won't have enough time to get you before it's over. |

" I stopped bothering with the Harvest craft. This build already has 1600%+ Increased damage (depending on your Int). 14-15% you can get from Harvest really doesn't matter compared to that. Which is also the answer to the often asked question why we don't use Sulphur flasks for 40% Increased damage. Doom Cast is still one of the final purchases at the high levels. I swapped it for a Poison Mastery specifically for this league to farm the mega juiced maps. Since I already have Ambush & Assassinate jewels, my crit chance doesn't suffer much. Poison applies while Atziri's Promise is running and makes the enemies unable to crit. Which is really nice against the wisped-up rares. It's not a 100% defense (some of them live longer than your flask and some can crit you before you hit them), but in combination with Solaris it's great. I also spent more red currency than usual to get the Unnerve mod. Maybe it's just bad luck. Or maybe they nerfed it. |

" You can harvest craft it for 5000 blues and see a miniscule dps upgrade (i did it anyway lol), but that's like wasting 1 div worth of currency for very little if you're only starting out. As others have also said, the Poison was for the critical strike negation (though I didnt go that way and went Doom Cast anyway) For the reds...yeah I feel you. Spent 300 lesser blues to hit the craft too. bloody RNG. |
|
" Yeah, for this league, the charms are really helpful when you're starting out and can't afford Enlighten 3 (with some charms) or Enlighten 4 (without any charms). I squeezed 3x +35 strength and int with 5% increased mana reservation as well and it worked well enough to squeeze in Hatred with another 3% increased mana reservation on a regular jewel. Newer players should definitely consider it. For the richer players, an enlighten 4 allows you to use better charms. (Cannot be stunned while leeching + Frenzy charge on hit, Increased Area damage, etc) |

" Thanks for the tip! I went to change the attributes mastery to Int per Mastery to optimize it lol and it did increase it! The amulet looks really hard to craft (or find) and my current one with added intelligence and global crit strike multiplier was hard to replace, so yeah only the simplex amulet could probably replace it at this moment... (though I'm at like..10 divs now only) Dropped Discipline for Zealotry for the moment (not bossing...just clearing maps for challenges) since it's 15.6k ES vs 13.5k ES. Current build: https://pobb.in/ti3WcFA2bqNJ P.S. Sorry fellas I've given out all my spare gear to other WI Cyclone players already at this point. Managed to craft a really nice helmet yesterday though :) |

@eekamousey -- your POB is compelling, thanks for linking it.
Where are you getting your frenzy charges from? Your lupine charm only gives on hit, and we never hit. What's the deal with the Rational Doctrine jewels? POB doesn't show much of a gain with them. Dernière édition par Graiaule#7461, le 9 janv. 2024 06:36:17

" https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Profane_ground They provide the above ground effect against enemies, which is pretty strong and a significant DPS boost. If you have one slotted into your build, then make sure "Enemy is on Profane Ground" is toggled on in your PoB config. Dernière édition par Verdale#4745, le 9 janv. 2024 05:36:30

" Ah, I had consecrated ground toggled. My bad. Thanks. So many ways POB can go wrong. Dernière édition par Graiaule#7461, le 9 janv. 2024 06:35:16

" We do hit, and we hit a lot. Every icicle hitting is a hit. Not sure why you think we don't hit. |

PSA for 3.23 Week 5: Synth Int% rings in the current league at this stage is priced insanely. (I started at week 2 of the league and it was already getting expensive, but boy it's ridiculous now)
For a cheaper option, as written by Kev, a corrupted Le Heup of All is actually decent enough and here is the trade link for something less than 100c: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/vpm36XBSE An additional tip from another WI player that I thought I'd share: Kalandra's Touch at 33 divs is now cheaper than a new base ring if you already have one good %int ring. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/jLE6VvluX |
