[2.2 Whispering Ice, Lowlife, Pure Unique wearer 1900+ Int, updated]

can u post what jewel u use for each jewel sockets?

Did you tryed how it would work when you go crit? Is it viable or are we losing to much ES?

Nice build. I'm gonna try it.

Have u tested mantra of flame jewel? Since you are using a low.life variant with so many aruas (buffs). Is it better in damage or pure damage is not worth it as rare jewels provide more survivalbility?

i am currently sitting at 8,8k es and 10,5k damage - the next upgrade are mirror-level helm and boots, but i am not sure i want to invest that much.



and mantra of flames is terrible for the build - intelligence offers direct damage with icestorm without damage effectiveness scaling, even with 7 auras mantra of flames is about as much damage as 20 int on gear.

@Glull what is your crit chance and how many Int do you have?

29,9 crit and 1692 int

29,9% crit... is it even worth than to go crit? I mean you could use the points to get more dmg non crit based and also more ES

yes. no. yes.

Just wanted to give a quick feedback, because I haven't posted a while.

Your build is still awesome, but I ultimately decided to stay at the pure cold build, and I also decided against my Grace and wearing Kaom's Boots, because it saves Skill points and stun is a b!tch.

This is my tree now:


I am running 3 Jewel-Sockets with Brute Force Solution, and 3 with Fertile Mind (should be obvious which ones). I need the big Agility Node on the left Side to wear my Alpha's Howl, because I love running much Auras, and I can run 9 with it. Aura Group 1 is my Howl, while Group 2 and 3 is my Shav's. My other 2 Jewel Sockets are a Conqueror's and a 16%Cold/12%Area/4%ES-regen one (should I yolo exalt this?)




I am still impressed how AWESOME Whispering Ice is, and I can't wait for my Legacy Perandus Signet's in standard. *_* How long will the Warbands league run?

"The Ice Storm skill granted by the Whispering Ice unique item now has a base duration of 1500ms (up from 700ms) and grants 150ms base duration per 100 Intelligence (from 50% increased duration per 100 Intelligence). It was a bug that it was giving 50% increased duration per 100 Intelligence. This has been fixed and rebalanced to compensate. Increases to duration will now have a greater effect on this skill."

That's a HUGE fucking nerf. Duration reduced by roughly half.

"Temporal Chains' slowing effect now applies multiplicatively with Chill's slowing effect. This will result in less of an impact when both are used on the same target."

Time to switch to Acuity once and for all for me.
