[3.25] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything

Actually... If I got a L4 Enlighten, I could ditch the Deep Thought cluster... That would free up 3 skill points.

Not much spending them on though... 20% crit multi on the Doom Cast cluster seems to be the best, and it isn't much better... Would cause a small ES loss as well.

In the spirit of pointless min-maxing, I continued to try and find ways to improve the build after I got my mageblood.

1) Removed purity of elements. Using stormshroud + MB & flask for ailment immunity
2) Used the additional mana I got to slot in HoI + Skitterbots (had to get some additional mana reservation from the jewel and tree
3) Since I replaced my boots and only had 1 anointment to play with, i kept tranquility and replaced 1 ring with Anethema for more curses (looked for int % and hatred implicit to avoid losing too much damage)
- added elemental weakness to the curses on top of frostbite and punishment
4) Added a timeless jewel in the middle-right socket which gives me
- Tempered by war (Adds a lot to my EHP since I am using MB Ruby flask)
- 5% of phys taken as fire
- 5% chance to gain endurance charges on kill
- 10% for double damage
5) Using small cluster with spiteful for hatred mana reservation (cluster gives corrupted blood immunity as well)
6) tried to recraft most of my gear to squeeze out more ES / Damage (Probably spent over a mirror worth of spite essences this league lol)
- super proud of my chest craft in particular haha
6) Somehow still managed to keep CWDT-IC-ID in the build

From here, i think the 2 upgrades that I can see are
1) 3 useful mod watcher eye
2) getting to level 100

If anyone sees any other options for me to min-max further, please let me know!

Also realized just how skilled Kelvynn is at the game after i rewatched the uber boss videos.. I have all these gear and I am still dying multiple times on the uber bosses. Feels bad watching him clear the uber bosses with less than half the gear i have hahah

That's bloody impressive!!!

Is the 3.21 High End Full Build passive skill tree the BiS this patch?

Cant post my POB rn, but I think I follow a slightly different tree when building my character and I want to respec and change it to follow that High End Full Build one.

Also, how viable is it for breach delirium currency farming? I tried doing it yesterday up to wave 12, while I can kill most of the mobs, some uniques running around could easily kill me, and the problem is that I couldnt pick item while cycloning (or with the whispering ice for boss, since you cant move while casting icicle). I wouldnt die while cycloning, but I died multiple times trying to pick up items because not cycloning (picking up items) = not leeching.

Tho, if the skill tree in the guide could give me more damage and survivabiity, I could maybe kill the uniques before they could kill me.

It's the best tree. There is a couple of things that are up to preference, but you can't go wrong with it.

Your overleech from ascendancy should last for several seconds after you stop dealing damage and the storms should last several seconds after you stop cycloning. Picking up items mid-fight should not be enough time for the leech to stop.

While using boss staff, you can move while casting with Frostblink. It takes a little getting used to, but it's enough to dodge mechanics and mobs.

The build can easily do simulacrum.

Yeah, just respecc the tree and wow, the dps increases are insane.

This is my pob https://pastebin.com/sYnjEmAB , probably still got rooms for improvement.

Also any recommended currency farming for this build. Breach Delirium so far is not that much profitable (I did get lucky last night getting some expensive divination card tho). But when I dont get some lucky card, it aint much.

Harvest/Essence is always good and this build is great with them.

99% of the time, harvest and essence are just open them and stand in 1 spot to obliterate the monsters. in 2 weeks, i have made 46 divine almost entirely from harvest. even without the crucible staves, which i wish i had. following the guide leads you to all content. i have a few things with my gear i need to fix but are expensive and my rng prevents me from getting there in a decent amount of time. the build is solid and trivializes almost all content. i'm good to wave 29 sim. i keep getting 1 shot from nowhere on 29 and it's not even the bosses as they are no problem to simply tank except when they are both on me lol

sirus, maven, eater, exarch, all endgame bosses are easy. not made it into uber bosses yet as i have some gear issues but i'm also running a combo of the original and crit build as i really like the feel of how to play it

@spaceace7373

I had a look at your tree... You may want to PoB using the 'Disciple of the Forbidden' cluster instead of 'Doom Cast'. I found that gave me more DPS.

Hey, this will be rather long, so please bear with me, also would love if you could answer all my little questions if you can, I know I can ramble, but I don't know anywhere else where I could ask

Firstly, I need some assistance with crucible crafting

So, regarding the crucible tree on Vile Staff

I'm still not really done with it. So far I managed to land both 10% int/str and int/dex nodes (3rd and 4th nodes)

Was trying for -3% Crit Chance (local) +100% Global Critical Strike Multiplier on 2nd node, but so far wasn't successful (6 tries or so)

So now I'm thinking of maybe focusing on landing 1st node (Inc Attributes most likely?), because the thing is I don't know how many more tries it can realistically take and if I can afford that.

My current 2nd node is not dead actually, it's Allocates Serpent Stance (40% Global Crit Chance, 30% Crit Multi and 5% Block Chance) so maybe trying just for 1st node and having Serpent Stance as 2nd instead of 100% multi is more realistic approach.

Ideally I'd love perfect tree but honestly I'd rather take 3 great nodes and 1 good than not finishing the tree at all because of no money.

A lot of rambling, but basically how worse is Serpent Stance compared to 100% multi (was thinking maybe not that much worse, since until enemy is on low life, crit chance isn't even capped)

Thoughts?
Basically go for 100% multi or stick with serpent stance?
How many tries it usually takes to stick a node without mangling the tree? Any %? In my experience the allocated nodes are rather mangled anyway, with almost every try, even aside from 50/50 for 2nd node (I presume?)

Also is there any 5th node that is somehow useful for this build?


Also any upgrades I could still do?
Probably better helmet (10% inc int)(tips for crafting?)
Amulet with inc attributes also (rather expensive, how to even craft something like this, any1 could help me with that, how much would it cost, the process etc)
Better watcher's eye
Anything else?
