Can I get your opinion on a crit version?



Regarding Gear, the changes are the gloves and boots.
Gloves: Voidbringer

Boots:

Thanks.

Guy from the CI variant thread here, this build is absolutely Uber viable post 2.02 - I killed her this morning.

Currently have 13k ES, 4400 avg dmg with Conc.

Here's my revised tree (scion start): http://poeurl.com/zwsUrwz


Happy hunting!

I think aura effectiveness nodes and melding with an energy from within jewel will give far more resistances and ES then faith and steel and nullification. At the very least getting influence as its so good value when running multiple auras.

You've cut all the stun avoidance from the tree which could be an issue as well.

I like steppan eard as boots as especially with a crit tree over an Int one. survivability will be more an issue then damage.

Thank you for great suggestions. If I were to take the 3 stun nodes, what would you cut from the tree?

When you say Taste of Hate is a good flask, would it be able to remove chill/frozen status?

@voncess at a glance I'd try something more like this?



@Ninja0taku

Taste of hate does not remove frozen just gives a chance to avoid it. We have removes frozen on one of your normal resistances flasks.

Taste of hate is awesome for "30% of Physical Damage taken as Cold Damage during flask effect"

This build has no real physical mitigation except for a high ES total but has really really good cold resistance so popping a taste of hate against physical mobs will greatly reduce the damage they do to you.

@wafflet

Mate have you managed a uber kill with your updated tree?

"It drops avatar of fire since temp chains + chill combo was nerfed and getting the freezes back helps the build still be very cc heavy."

is this change really that important? i saw the math and it really seemed irrelevant in terms of the big picture, is there a way to still use AoF?

edit: what about just going ice with cold pen and duration? (and just forget cold to fire altogether).

cold to fire adds extra % of cold dmg as fire, not just conversion.

Such a sick build. I have a Whispering Ice shelved in Warbands for the end of the League, and a Shav's waiting in Standard :3

Good guide, and a nice read.
