Can this build be converted to CI?

Yes, but it's quite a few points to switch over. You basically have to take everything that's in HP and put it in ES.

Hey man if you get the time I would really appreciate some tips on how to improve my skill tree and gear. I took more crit nodes and generally focused more on crit i think, i have 7 power charges.

Looks ok, though getting the power charge lets you do something like this.

Chest and amulet are what you need to upgrade the most. Good opportunity to get a 5link at the same time if you can. And you probably want to upgrade all your flasks to hallowed :p

Yeah, I kinda forgot to upgrade the flasks :) And if I'm not mistaking i should go a little more defensive, but to take that crit chance on templars side?
I have this, maybe some crafting?
Btw thanks for your time :)

Would this be a good build for someone looking to play shadow for the first time?

Yes. Freezing Pulse is playable without ANY gear! Also the skillgems are very cheap. You should start with

Freezing Pulse + Lesser Multiple Projectiles + Projectile Speed + Faster Casting

directed mainly @aimlessgun
for end game rf/pa fp builds w/ power charge on crit, would the void battery be best in slot (bis)? or could a rare weapon potentially be better without costing like 5x the price of a void battery?

my assumption going off of simple math is the void battery is probably not as good as a ridiculously well rolled ilvl 79 weapon, but i'm not so sure i know enough about the game to understand if the void battery is meant to be a bis or close second.

I don't want to get into the dual wielding debate of the void battery comparison because that's out of the question being a solo player whom relies heavily on dream fragments and eye of chayula to stay alive (which gives very little room to even consider dropping a shield).

current weapons for reference:



also, could you please tell me which of the two would be a better option for rf/pa fp? the tooltip shows them being quite close in terms of dps.

again, these questions are mainly directed towards aimlessgun or anyone with very very good knowledge of this specific build.

ty in advance for your advice <3

It's a good build for not having good gear, but it's not a build that will make it easymode for a new player, because it puts a lot of responsibility on the player when it comes to staying alive. But you can learn how to do that as you go :p

You're correct, with charges Void Battery is only barely surpassed by some godlike rare that would be way more expensive. I need to update my gear actually, as I got one, and it gave me a ton of DPS.

However there is a very real downside of terrible DPS when the charges run out: you have to make sure to keep them up!

edited: nvm

Don't know if this has been discussed yet, but any thoughts on the Hellbringer gloves? I would assume the increased mana cost makes it not usable, but I haven't tested it myself yet

Would this be a decent CI spec still using FP - especially since there will be a free respec soon. Does it need any special gear?

well for all the ci askers i post my build and items

my build is develloped out of aimless pa rf build into a ci. i have 9k ES and do with LMP and all power charges up 4700 screen dps.

if u change this build to an ci u are a tank! almost nothing is able to kill me, even in 71-72 maps

the only danger is temporal chain maps. ele reflect i dont recognize at all bec. my deffence and leach is too strong for them ^^ Also i have a problem with 50% regen or no regen maps because i have to switch LMP for mana leach what lowers my dmg a lot but i can do them. (also safely but a lot slower)

build:


current gear:



The idea to go CI was i wanted to get better :D and this ci build is like 10 times tankier than the initial hp/es build of aimless because of the leach posibility.
also the main reason was i never will be able afford a shavrones but i wanted to devellope my char to the "next level"
i also recomend do not change your build from the hp/es to CI until u get at least lvl 76. u will need all passive points to keep the dps from the orginal build up and get enough ES nodes

@exar01
first of all never plan a build over lvl 80 only a few people get behind 85 this takes so long time...!!

u speck so many 5% spell dmg nodes who are not worth the points used.. (shadow area/witch area)

u dont speck the 2nd body and soul node Oo sereously this build is trash (no offence)
if u want to play without power charge on crit support try to go a simillar route like the RF/PA build of aimless. just speck into CI and avoid the Power charge passives (this will safe u some points) but dont speck all this small nodes
u forgott near the ci section the crit multiplier nodes and speced into cast speed OO (u will be fast enough)
i had time and did a short repair on ur passives.(lokk for urself on my repairs! i did it really fast and may forgott something)


and sorry aimless for guiding arround in ur topic but i think u will vouche my answers :D
