[2.6] The Curse Whisperer - Tri-Curse CI Whispering Ice Elementalist - Viable for Everything

Im about to 4L my WI into BBBB + R, R and I wonder what will happen if I dont get this combination at my first couple of tries, i.e. if I wait a couple of days with say BBRR + BB due to unlucky RNG with chroming, would that mean that my character is very much gimped until I get this fixed?

no, not at all. you don't *need* any links.

The only links you need are 2 blue links if you intend to do scorching ray + cast while channeling. Otherwise, none of the other gems need to be linked. Because the staff gives you the whispering ice skill, any gem socketed into the staff is automatically linked to it.

I would wait and just keep an eye on poe.trade or try to craft one yourself with an essence (there's an essence that grants INT). Short of that, just don't try to push higher-tier maps until you can get better gear.

Check the OP's full skill tree link. There are 3 more jewel slots he recommends. You can look at my tree too. I'm still missing one of the jewel slots but I have 2 of the ones you're missing.

Oh I meant I got all 5 till 85 lv, to get the rest 2 a have to up 91 lvl ). Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy it ? Essences aren't cheap

Im so confused about this :)
But people say 4linking Cwc + Sr is better? or?

for instance I have this appearence as of now:



Does it make any difference if I link it to 4L BBBB? From my understanding you then 4L the scorching ray, and keep the 2 additional (compared to 2L SR + CwC) to Icestorm as well, but perhaps I wrong?

You would be getting 2 extra support gems to SR, which means a little bit of extra damage. Your main damage comes from Icestorm. And it gives you extra mana cost for SR.

That's fine. Linking Scorching Ray to some of the gems can give it more damage but the damage from scorching ray isn't really important. Your main damage is coming from whispering ice. I don't even bother to aim SR, I just put my cursor where I want the WI to fall. Also, remove spell echo and replace it with one of the other damage gems suggested by the build. You don't need cast speed with this setup at all. Here's my staff for reference.

unfortunately, this build is more expensive to play this league, because of the current howa meta, which also stack int on es gear, drove up the price quite a bit, :D. but still quite cheap to start, and like op said, viable for everything with decent gear.

@Kelvynn When you update the guide, will there be any changes to gear/gems/passives (aside from enlighten and the golem)? I'm not sure if I should wait till you update or just start now :P

Edit: I tested the Ice golem and I get around 300 extra damage on Icestorm from that. Since cast speed doesn't work with Channeling, I guess that's the new golem?

Edit 2: Will we still use Item Rarity Support?

Edit 3: Damn with these edits lol, I tested SR+CwC and my average damage went up. I replaced Spell Echo and Item Rarity, so it's not by much. I can also remove enlighten and add any skill (you couldn't have any extra skill before so +1 to that), and if I replace Lightning Golem with Ice Golem my damage also goes up quite a bit. I'm at 4300 (4900 with Ascendancy buff) on my hideout, no Elemental Overload, quite bad gear, and not 20/20 gems (my SR is lvl 9 lol). So I should call this a pretty good buff.

Edit 4: So getting 3R+1G for the setup on the gloves will take me an average of 1000 chromatics. So I think it's way better to get 10c on chromatics, use Vorici 3R, get an almost guaranteed blue socket to put whatever blue gem you want, and get 1B 2G 1R on the helmet, which is way easier.

Excuse me, using enlighten isn't relevant anymore ? And the same for lightning golem ?

And why is your damage so low ? I have 5500 only with fire golem and my gear is worse than yours, with all buffs I get 8600+
