Yep. I'm also using the build 2, and loving it right now. Currently in hardcore and doing fine! Thanks hypershatter for the build :)

One quick question, I have a lot of mana left over, I'm thinking of adding another aura, maybe a defensive one like grace, any aura you can suggest? I'm only using clarity atm, and discipline wouldn't be worth using because mana return wouldn't be more than cost without % passives

Noob question: why not go for spork totems instead?


The big advantage to cold is that it makes crit chance and cast speed increase both your damage and your survivability.

Hello hypershatter, I would just like to thank you for the effort you put into making this guide. I am really enjoying this build, currently lvl 51. Very well written and laid out guide too, I truly appreciate guides with actual level-tiered progression builds and not just a final build.

The only problem I've had so far was the final boss, Cruel difficulty. Lost count how many times she annihilated me but eventually made it to merciless, hopefully I can find some better gear now. I had maxed resists but HP and ES are really low so, my own fault :)

I have some questions if I may (I have read and re-read this entire thread thoroughly but would really appreciate some personal criticism from you or any other kind soul who has the time here) :

Spoiler
1. I have read that lvl 50 is a milestone and this build starts to 'roflstomp' at this point - what is it specifically that makes this such a turning point? I don't feel any different :D (I am following the standard CI build, but havent chosen CI yet, currently lvl 51)

2. I finally got my hands on a pair of windscream boots to get my second curse up. After Elemental Weakness, what would be your second go-to curse? I've noticed your gem socketing changes every now and then :

Frostbite > Critical Weakness = Warlords Mark = Temporal Chains > Projectile Weakness?

I realise the game calls for swapping for different situations, just wondering about the general ranking of curses for most situations.

My setup so far is :

Always on my bars :
Ice spear (maxed) - 4 link with spell totem, GMP and swap between reduced cast speed and increased crit damage (Question 3: can't decide between these two, since 5th link would be reduced mana?)
Elemental Weakness (stopped levelling at 7, still using increased AOE - may drop as the guide now suggests)
Fire Trap + Bear Trap (Dex capped) with increased Crit chance and Crit Damage support
(Dex capped)
Summon Zombies (maxed) supported by maxed Minion Damage and Minion Life
Frost wall (maxed)
Conversion trap (as high as stats allow) - linked with increased duration
Discipline + Clarity (both lvl 5, linked with reduced mana)

4. Any major changes you would make to my setup?

5. Please could an experienced user of this build post a mid-level and end-game flask setup?

My dps is not very high, I guess because I am still using the same wand for 30 levels and recently switched my off hand wand for an awesome resist shield for more survivability. But I am happy because I know if I could get this far with the gear, HP, ES and resists I have - then any gear upgrades are just icing on the cake and will scale nicely, as you stated in the guide :)


Thank you for reading, my apologies for all the questions - I did try to get as much information as I could up til now and get these questions answered myself, but I always appreciate some constructive criticism and guidance in any case ;)

Does "Elemental Damage Increase" increase our totem's dps?
Lets get some youtube videos showing off some 70+ dual totems :]

Maybe toss in some reasons for ur builds too, I find that watching some streams I learn small things about this game I would never know.

I was going to do one, I'm lvl 76 currently, but I've been swamped the last week or so. I've been frapsing some though..

In the mean time can you give a run down of how easy it is at that level or hard for that matter? Perhaps how well is it solo wise? Bosses tough?
