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

I've come up with this passive tree, allowing you to get over 1900 int, unwavering stance, vaal pact, ghost reaver, pain attunement and all of the aura effect nodes. The jewel sockets on the left side of the skill tree, you use the strength to intelligence jewels.

@AllSunsDawn Thanks very much for those kind words :)

Getting over 1900 Int isn't hard but you need to sacrifice something for it. My level 92 was 1800 Int before I stopped playing her and would have easily gotten past 1900 in a few levels as there was still a few jewel sockets she was going towards getting towards

Basically the difference is that you've swapped unnnatural calm, snowforged and a bunch of the Int and jewel sockets into unwavering stance and faith and steel.

Thats a fair choice if you find yourself dying to stun alot. I never found that an issue so I didn't make that choice. You're losing alot of damage though. Losing snowforged and the two walker nodes is brutal for your damage. Unnatural calm is also so much ES for the points, faith and steel doesn't compare so even with the Int that is gonna hit your ES total. My build is balanced to make the resistances meet using fire and cold walker so even picking up faith and steel that is shorting you 8% into two resistances which is another consideration you'd need to use jewels to cover.

You'll easily get more Int total by cutting the pure damage nodes without int and putting them into the Int path down to unwavering stance but that is really cutting into your damage. Its the safer option against stuns so if thats your gripe then go nuts.

I'm gonna make some suggestions to that tree though. Faith and steel is so low value. The starting witch nodes are pretty darn poor value as well.

Something like this maybe?

got nice gloves.



my plan

remove : 3*10int and socket (around ghost reaver)
put : +1 curse and 10% curse effect

or make "+1 curse" Astramentis....

Why did you do turn off Avatar of fire???????????????

Avatar of fire has more damage. not having avatar of fire lets you freeze things which can be fun. *shrug* either is fine

Thanks for the guide ! Have you considered windscream for dual curse ?

Yeah. Corrupting elemental weakness onto the gloves was my next goal. Very late game stuff though as pre level 90 there is always something more needed in the tree then dual curse.

Getting +1 curse on the amulet was also a goal but expensive!

EDIT: oh sorry misread that. Windscream would lose 120 flat ES which translates into roughly 600-1000 ES loss and damage lost from the Int.

The build already has so much damage that cutting any defence for damage at this point is usually a bad idea but there is plenty of ways to go more glass cannon if you wish :)

Does cold to fire still allow you to shatter enemy ? (i like the ice shattering)

Here is my tree so far and my gear L75 i still need astramentis a decent armor and boost

gear

Spoiler

Until you get a shavs I wouldn't follow this build. The balance of the gear and tree is around its auras which you can't run without it.

For the CI that you are currently running I would change several things about your tree. You can save a point by connecting across the wheel of ES nodes and speccing out of the connection going out of witch. Remove the two points getting to the scion starting area, or even that jewel socket and all the scion starting nodes. Remove heart of Ice and head towards the higher priority damage nodes like snowforged. Also deep wisdom and dreamer will help you sustain mana cost when you 6 socket the staff and start using 6 supports which should be your very first priority.

you will still shatter using cold to fire. You only stop shattering if you get avatar of fire

@WaffleT

i want to see stat,gear and passive tree with your updated tree????
