[3.1] Glacial Bloom - Inpulsa Glacial Cascade Ascendant

sorry if you covered this already, but could you elaborate on why you choose the Raider ascendancy, as well as why you seem to grab so many sources of attack life leech? Is Raider just for the move speed, onslaught, dodge, and frenzies?

It's just the best for dps. You won't have Frenzy for bosses otherwise. You also need the Ranger start area. Inquisitor is another option.

As for attack Leech, I only get those points for the Life, those don't give Leech for spells.

okay cool, thank you for clarifying


I'm up to act 10 now, this build has been really fun and I havent even picked up inpulsa's yet. Thanks for posting it.

Would the build work on a 5L?

Of course.

What's the budget for this build look like?

Depends on trading skill, and what you define as "good enough". I imagine I can make it work on like 1 ex for mid-tier maps.

If you're talking doing Guardians ez-mode, a lot more.

What would the 5L be in Inpulsa's?

Edit:
So i've been messing around with things for shock and Inpulsa, it seems like Elemental Proliferation is a must with Berek's grip unless you get a Warlords Mark ring? So i'm not sure what gem i should drop. Is using Vinktar also an option?

Hi, I notice you have options for other ascendancies like elementalist. What would the tree look like if I wanted to do this build as elementalist?

Not very different, to be honest. Here's what I'd do: http://poeurl.com/bQCQ

The Leech actually means you don't need Warlord's Mark as badly, but I'd still try and get it for the Mana Leech. Mana Flasks are an option if you don't plan on face-tanking Guardians.

Elementalist got a pretty hefty buff now, and I'd even use Inpulsa for bosses with it, since it has a 20% minimal shock, that is scaled by it. That means you can do 1 Lightning Damage and still Shock Shaper, for quite a bit.

You can actually end up with more damage than a Scion, and if you're using Yoke of Suffering, a VERY reliable minimal 10% more, probably 15%.

I'd also honesty consider adding Aspect of the Spider somewhere, even if it lowers your pool by a bit. Just grab more Mana passives to compensate.
