[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything
" PoB says it will be an upgrade over a good rare jewel at high levels. Not a big one though. The damage is almost the same, but you get a little more ES from Int. If you manage to cross into the next 100 Int then it will be a little more damage too. Overall: a small upgrade. |

" They changed the bosses for the pantheon powers in 3.5. Apparently, that upgrade is on a different spider now. Fixed. Where do you see a mention of the flask of Heat? Some leftover from the fire-based Ascendant build probably. |
|
" Arctic Armor is just a guaranteed chill but all cold damage has a chance to chill. I'm personally using it with Frost Bomb as it does enough damage to chill while also applying Arcane Surge/-25% cold res. I dropped Ancestral Call from Vigilant Strike to make room for this for now. |
|
" See the Uber Elder videos from the 3.4 version (Ascendant). The Occultist will take slightly longer but will be much safer. |
|
" I found an even easier one :) Elreon mod is now a craftable prefix! That's just perfect. Rings for this build often have an empty prefix. I'm using high lv Winter Orb now. Última edição por Kelvynn#6607 em 11 de dez de 2018 03:30:13

" I'm still not sure about the best way to incorporate Bonechill. AA would be good against bosses that hit you often, but there is a mana reservation issue. Frost Bomb hits only when it explodes, I doubt that it will do enough damage to apply chill on top bosses, and even if it does, it will be a very brief chill, once in 3 sec - not worth it. Cold Snap seems to the best candidate so far: it creates long lasting chilling ground. But that's 2 sockets and an extra key to press... Can drop Ancestral Call, of course. But then the other free socket was meant for WM when we find how to craft +1 curse. And AC is a very convenient gem to swap for PoF for things like Phoenix and Uber Atziri. Eventually I would like to use Bonechill. But so far no clear solution. Ideas are welcome. |

Minor update:
Swapped the lv 92 socket near CI for the one below the Scion start. I kinda forgot about that one, but it's clearly better: useful resists instead of useless mana, and the build is complete 1 level earlier. Updated all trees to 3.5 (with the current Ascendancy). Added a section on Blood Rage. It's extremely powerful, but it's a little tricky to use. I'm going to be scarce for a few days. Let me know how things go.

I'm currently not having any issues with mana but I don't have Winter's Orb linked any further than CWC. As for AA+Bonechill if mana is solved for most then as of right now I still have 155 mana left over after linking AA+Bonechill but it seems that is only beneficial for bosses whereas Bonechill with Frostbomb seemed good for beginning of league running into yellows/uniques.
Have you found a way to get 3 off colors other than melting chroms because it seems they removed the 2socket and 3socket crafting options. EDIT: Configured staff for WO+CWC+Hypo mana is still fine at this point but adding Leech seemed to cause problems. Última edição por ReitanRyu#5831 em 11 de dez de 2018 03:58:09

Is there any particular reason we grab Void Beacon as the first ascendancy upgrade?

" Frost Bomb does a huge amount of damage to low level trash. But I'm afraid it won't be good against endgame bosses. Chills below a certain threshold are discarded. No clue where to find the 2S and 3S recipes yet. Found 4S and 5S in the delves. Reddit doesn't have 2S and 3S either. I hope they get found soon. Coloring everything the old way for now... #feelsbadman |
