[3.27] Ice Dancing God - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything

Now I wish my Crucible Staff in standard had Crusader Influence instead of Veritania / Shaper. :[

Is there another way to get a Crusader Item in the build? Like elevated Int on the Helmet?

Sadly, Stampede cannot be chanced. So there's only WI left to "upgrade".
The only way to get WI with Crusader's influence is just orb of chance. So there goes crazy luck or omen.

Vile Staff ilvl 68+, use crusaders exalt, scour and chance.
But we need two of those, so...

You could try to get Hunter/Crusader hybrid influence, but rolling flat int and %int (and good amount of ES) would be pain.

Other option would be chest piece. You would lose Elritch implicts, but you can get another 12% increased int as Crusader influenced suffix.

Why ilvl 68+?

Item cannot gain any Influence Modifiers because its Item Level is below 68.

So, the prices, right now:

- BBD with the %Int mod is 60 div, plus a few more to roll 15%
- Omen of Fortune is 12 div

WI is the only possible outcome on the Vile Staff base, so it's definitely cheaper to just buy the Omen than ~10k scouring orbs.

Don't really need a second one for map clearing, but if you really have nothing better to do with 12 div - can make a second one easily.

Either way, paying 72-84 div for a situational damage upgrade and an extra 2k ES seems a bit excessive. Especially when there is a 10c alternative that works for most boss fights.

Oh I see! You cannot apply a Crusaders orb below ilvl 68.

So will it go into "Geariing Guide" section?

Maybe I should add a new section called "If you really want to show off" xD

Natural Affinity can do the same thing in most boss fights, for 10c.

Alternatively, we can replace Fertile Mind on the right side of the tree.
This will give us a little dexterity (if it's too difficult to cap stats directly) and ~150 int on the top, allowing us to keep Natural Affinity.
Still a good addition to damage and survivability (WE WANT MORE, WE NEED MORE!!!)

Who will care about dexterity in the endgame, though? xD
