[1.3] LVL84 FoxTactic's Arctic Fire Nova "Torment L 20000dps"

replace artic breath for ice spear?
i really like the arctic breath. the fast firing nature and the fact u can off screen mobs adding flexibility really sold me. wasnt really a believer until at higher lvls
Is this build still being worked on?
i think the build fox has at the first page is pretty much completed. i finally caught up to it in terms of gear and lvl and find it very solid and fun. Clear speed is pretty awesome which is a huge plus. I do have to skip bosses such as the fat spider in jungle valley or torture chamber tho. Also i prefer 3 pts on mana and regeneration below deep wisdom rather than the sovereignty aura cluster as mana do get sapped up very quickly.

i was looking forward to fox working on the rf char, but he seems to be streaming another game in the past week or so.
Just wanted to ask why H of T is useed?

both HoI and HoT adds additional spell damage. ice adds little more than 3k dps and thunder adds close to 3k dps

dropping added cold gem will reduce the nova dps by 5000 which is quite significant. you will not be able to reach 20k mark even with the celestial nodes.

from the current build, i feel you are quite safe from reflect due to damage converting to fire and then mitagated from high lvl aa. just have to watch out for full reflect packs and dont yolo nova into everything. hence i feel no really need for vaal pact but i am sure your build will also work but obviously with a slower clear speed

[/quote]The above build was just a thought thats all thx for the reply anyway.on the other hand i did convert this one into a rf
3.5k hp will reach 5k+ with levels
lvl 16 gems with 6k nova dps
i am worried about the nova dps. any thoughts would be well appriciated [/quote]
Great and fun build, however I am only 67 atm. I am struggling with the 'squishyness' aspect without a Lightning Coil and lack of hp @ 2500 and change. Anything one can do to turn this around?

Here is my current scrubbo gear:
