[3.25] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
New video: Uber Exarch
Annihilation hurts quite a bit, Frostblink it. Just like with Uber Eater, nothing stops you from logging out and skipping the ball phase. But I just like tanking it. Depending on your Int, you need to take out some support gems from the Cyclone weapon to avoid killing the doggy too fast (I take out ICD and EL). Последняя редакция: Kelvynn.

" Isn't +5 max res the same as 20% less damage when you're at 75%? |
|
" does that mean without the complex math that it is the Full DPS PoB shows me * 23? (just to get a estimate) | |
" PoB doesn't show DPS for Icestorm. Unless I'm missing something. | |
" You're right. There is a small difference when you Enkindle it, because of the rounding. New flask gives you 73.5% fire res which is rounded down to 73%, while the old one would give you 34% mitigation. But the difference is not that significant. ETA: Oh, I know why it hurts more! I used to do him with Heartstopper. Which is still a good idea for both Uber Exarch and Eater. But not really necessary. Последняя редакция: Kelvynn. Время: 22 апр. 2024 г., 17:10:39

" Average hit * 23 when you have 5 storms on the target. Less if the target moves often. PoB's full DPS (which isn't activated in Kelvynn's PoB) shows a rather useless number, which is average hit * cast rate. On spell which deals damage per cast, this number is the usual way of calculating effective DPS, as cast rate becomes a straigth multiplier, but in Ice Storm's case, each cast summons a storm which hits several times a second. Since it's so complicated and dependant on many variables, PoB does not calculate these types of spells effectively, just like, for example, EA ballista (which requires manually calculating number of fuses) or Fire Storm (which has the same problem as Ice Storm). |

" What does the mod 'chased by the Maven' do? I did one map with this mod and got multiple one-shot (I have around 16K EHP) when moving without knowing why :-) | |
" As far as i know when there is the map modifier "Maven interferes with Players", Maven uses all skills that usually appear when witnessing a boss fight while mapping and Maven follows you the whole time. That includes healing bosses/monsters, several kinds of elemental damage (the orbs that maven drops for example). Mainly happens when a monster is near so if there is lot happening on the screen you wont see but Maven will activly tell you what is happening and then move out fast. Basically: dont stand still. At least that was my experience. Последняя редакция: Deyvindur. Время: 23 апр. 2024 г., 1:45:28

New Video: Uber Shaper
The good old Shaper is still one of the best bosses this game has to offer. They increased the radius of his Teleport Slam a little so that you can't simply Frostblink from it, have to move as well. And it looks like they forced the Bullet Hell to be done at least once per phase. Enkindled Sapphire flask and The Writhing Jar are your best friends. | |
I have a question concerning something that I realize happens quite a bit to me. I think I read about it a handful of pages ago, but sometimes, my character will start stutter-stepping (with Icestorms no longer falling, but my character is still spinning as if nothing went wrong). I bound my cyclone to a keybind to help, but I wonder if it isn't because I got stunned.
Do we have any corruption available to would help with avoiding stuns? Or is it just something to look out for generally. Now granted, I still have ways to go to better my gear (therefore get more ES). Just need to farm more as I've been busy IRL and the prices of stuff skyrocketed before I could even begin to properly buy. I do have the '50% of your ES is added to your Stun Threshold' mastery. I am just wondering if that occurrence is a bug, or it's just that I get stunned. It generally goes away when I stop cycloning once I'm in a safe spot, then start again. |
