Elemental Equilibirum - How about it?

With your Ice Spears and Flame Sentinels/Fire Trap, wouldn't Elemental Equilibirum be awesome!?

Also, you can link added lightning to you skeletons or other skills for even more equilibrium effect!

I can't try it now but doesn't it sound awesome? With your Ice Spear and Flame Sentinel alternating attacks, you would gain some rerious dps. Mix in lighning somehow and it works even better.

Also, if you use Elemental Weakness + Flammabilty or Cold/Fire Penetration, won't it just negate the down side of Equilibirum? Since the downside is +25% resist but the update is -50 resist, it looks like you wouldn't suffer a big penalty from the +25% but gain a lot of damage on the +50%.

Thoughs? Too much fireball compare to ice spears? Maybe sub in a Flame Sentiel for a lighning specter?

I used ice spear for the longest time with this build (level 85 and have been for well over a month just use my witch to mf now) but I now know that freeze pulse is better. I have tested this extensively and freeze pulse is most def superior

reason: higher overall dps since it helps keep totems alive much better (huge dps at close range) I literally melt elites when they come near my totems w/ ele weakness + frostbite cursed on em. This is with 2 out of my 6L being mf gems heh...

my mf gear: 120//iiq 270//iir it is like christmas when I kill a elite/unique boss items just drop everywhere I average a unique item every 3-4 unique bosses(ele weakness + convert trap gems on loan to my alt atm.)

Spoiler

anyway this is by far the best build for mf I can run ANY map besides can't regen life/mana/ or bloogmagic with this build in full mf gear and still roll face especially now they bumped the ES alot near CI. I have 6500 es now with only three es pieces heh.

I am using his end game spectre varation but I just grab some stuff as tanks rocks/bears are my favorite since I don't want stuff stealing kills when I am trying to mf.

freeze pulse will work better on any map because the totems have much more survive-ability when they are putting off crazy dps at close range. + freeze pulse is much better at perma freezing everything

Basically I put my totems down and frostwall over them a few times to protect them (another reason fp is better because ice spear loses a ton of dps through frostwall where fp doesn't give a crap about frostwall)

Then everything rushes at my totems (besides ranged obv which frostwall helps protect the totes from) and when stuff rushes my totes it runs in to fire/convert traps and takes massive dps from upclose freeze pulse.


um I have like 75% fire resist with purity (I run purity/discipline) my light/cold res are -11% and -5% because of andvarii rings and low resists on mf gear but honestly it doesn't matter with this build since if you do it right you don't get hit alot. Obviously my chaos res is 100 which is another huge bonus of this build using ci for mfing.

Hi,

I reached level 70 with this build (first character) and I am pretty happy with it as I can do relatively hard maps with my not-so-optimal equipment. :)

I have a few questions now:

1. Do you think Minion Instability is worth it?
2. What about Elemental Adaptation?
3. Would you go for the Body and Soul point in the Templar starting area? (going down from top at the Agility/Might points)
4. How would you solve mana issues? Level Clarity?

I am asking these questions because I need more of everything. More ES (about 3200+ atm), more damage (so my Ice Spears can freeze higher mobs), more Mana / Mana reg and I just don't have the experience to know what is most important at this point!

Here my items (I switch around a lot for reduced mana plus I am currently leveling all the curses):

Spoiler

My next big goal would be a 5L chest....

Here my passive tree:

Well if you could give me some pointers on how to continue I would be grateful!

Thanks!
