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

"

Naturally you can only apply one curse.
He uses Doedre's Damming Ring for an extra curse and Whispers of Doom passive skill.
Now he can apply 3 different curses. He links one curse to Blasphemy to have it as an aura and for the other 2 he creates a 5 link setup:

Cast When Damage Taken, Ball Lighting, Curse on Hit, Enfeeble, Temporal Chains.

CWDT will cast Ball Lighting when the damage threshold is met. Ball Lightning is linked with Curse on Hit which allows it to apply curses when it deals Damage and Curse on Hit is linked with the 2 other curses.

You use clarity up until level 40, then you use Warlord's Mark, Discipline and Arctic Armor, thought I didnt use Arctic Armor up until level 65 as I had mana issues.

Thanks for the quick reply and the clarification! I assume this 5 link is done through the armor. Last question so I would use pyre and doedre's ring?

Doedre's and Perandus signet

No, cuz Pyre is nerfed, no longer converts 100% of Cold Damage to Fire, If you have the money the other ring is Perandus Signet to increases your Int, if not just any Ring that gives Int, Maximum Energy Shield and/maybe Elemental Resists for now

(Okay it seems more questions keep coming up)

I will now be looking for that ring or one that you said, however is there a new way to fully convert? Again thanks.

Okay I started this build and hit lvl 40. I've been using arctic armor, discipline and clarity to this point. I'm now switching to the blasphemy + warlord's mark however I can't keep all four auras up at the same time. You've also mentioned talk about three aura's on enemy targets? Can you fully explain this to me please - I am kind of new to this game, it's only my second league and your build looked amazing so I wanted to give it a go.

To clarify - I'm curious as to how I keep these self aura's and the enemy aura's you're talking about up all at the same time.

At level 38 you should drop clarity and pick up cast while channeling and scorching ray to enjoy ice storms with about 10 mana cost.

Can someone pls tell me should we link orb of storms to something or we self cast it?

Guide updated with all the recent changes:

- added The Wise Oak
- replaced Fortify with Vigilant Strike
- added the 2.6 video
- switched the Leveling Guide to use Firestorm for lv 12-39
- added Doedre's Scorn as a leveling item

The new flask is awesome, very common and cheap.

Keep your fire resistance the highest (joint-highest works too) and it's 20% extra fire penetration in a flask. Do not be confused by the wording on it: UNCAPPED does not mean that your resists should be under the cap! It means the number in parentheses, WITHOUT the cap.

Vigilant Strike gives you a 12 sec Fortify (with max quality) which is great for boss fights, essence rares, etc. It used to require very precise targeting that didn't work well with this build. But one of the recent patches greatly improved single target skills, and now VS is your Fortify button. You don't need the Fortify gem anymore. Leap Slam is still the best movement skill we have (we can't use Whirling Blades; Lightning Warp is too slow because we use extended duration nodes; Flame Dash is short range and would require Faster Casting support). Faster Attacks is great for both VS and Leap, so that RGR 3L stays unchanged. Simply replace Fortify with VS, and bind VS to a key.

The choice of leveling skill before Icestorm wasn't really important before 2.5, and Freezing Pulse was available at lv 1, so it was used to get to A3 and switch to WI at lv 33. But now that it's more convenient to switch at lv 39, and you spend some time in A4 before the big switch, Firestorm is a better choice. And the similarity to Icestorm helps you get used to the playstyle.

Doedre's Scorn used to be more expensive. Now it's really cheap. And it's a lv 39 item - a perfect fit to use together with Icetomb. It will serve you longer than the other leveling items. Replace it with a 13-15% Black Sun Crest when you achieve 1200-1300 Int, somewhere around lv 80-85.

So after a brief vspark run in i've returned again to WI cant get enough of this build would reccomend it to anyone, just hit 1700 int on witch, anytips on what to upgrade next would be great !

can do all content, only problem sometimes is hydra but thats just mechanics.

Hello, first of all TY for this amazing build Kelvynn, you are awesome. Second, im still leveling and ive just bought gloves and boots, I know they can be better but its the best I could get with mi currenci and same with the belt, tried mani times with that essences and thats the best I got. What should I do naw, go for a vaal regalia or improve the rest of mi gear??. I dont know if you can see mi profile but it will be nice if you can give me a hand (sori with mistakes, english is not mi foreign lenguage)

Always start with the regalia. It's the hardest to get and the most expensive. Then craft a belt. And then look at your resists and find boots and gloves to cap them.

Hi again, i'll try once more since last time you told me my characters were not public.
I'm struggling with End Game content such as Shaper (even doing minotaur deathless). If you have the time, could you please take a look at my gear/char and tell me why my damage is so incredibly low? I even have more int than some of your screenshots and still have nowhere near enough damage and therefore sustain.

Best Regards and thanks for taking the time.

You seem to be missing 2 or 3 skill points somewhere. At lv 89 you should already have the Witch area socket and Catalyse and be on your way to the Shadow area socket. Check your quests (U), make sure you didn't skip any quests that give skill points (see the start of the Leveling Guide), and that you did the Bandits correctly too (see Bandits).

Your boots have only 22 Int. But your other items are excellent. You want to upgrade the boots eventually, but that's not the reason your damage is low.

Izaro's Turmoil with 42 value could use upgrading. For some reason, Izaro's are still pretty expensive in this league. I found better rares for cheaper myself, and they are ones with Int too. Check poe.trade.

So what is your damage? It shouldn't be 'extremely low' with that gear. A little lower than mine, but not much. What's your Int and Icestorm tooltip?

Maybe you are just forgetting to pop Orb of Storms? It lasts only 8.7 sec now after the duration nerf in 2.6. But you should always pop it every 10 sec to keep Mastermind of Discord going anyway. Remember to Fortify too. It's very easy to keep Fortify up all the time now with VS (see the update above).

Or maybe your no-speed boots are getting you in trouble. If you walk to the Minotaur slowly, he may decide to use his Burrow attack and 1-shot you if you don't dodge it. The Shaper is also harder without speed, and if you bring Quicksilver flasks to him you sacrifice some other more useful flasks for it.
