If you have any questions, PLEASE ask here in the forum! :)
I've gotten ALOT PM's lately ingame and I only have limited time to play the game! This isn't meant to be rude! Another reason for this is that other people can also see your questions and check the answeres should they have similar questions! :) I usually check this thread when going on- and offline or when taking breaks from playing! :P «««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Ascendency 2.2 Testing: Here's a little sneak peak of my current testings!

Also, there's a big possibility that this build becomes a scion! Reason for that are her ascendency classes which seam to fit this build way better than any of the witch classes!

Spoiler
Personally, I have not done uber on this build but I know of some other icestormers who have done her with alot less damage! So it's up to you guys if you wanna give uber a shot with this or not!
Do you have a CI version of this build?!?
Spoiler
I have started playing icestorm as CI when I first picked up a Whispering Ice back in Warbands. I can give you a skilltree for CI but you have to decide for yourself which auras to keep and drop! Also keep in mind that as CI you have to wear some rare ES gear with high Int. and Res. to cap ur res! This also means you lose alot damage!

Spoiler
Sure, go ahead and give them a go if you can afford them! Personally I pref. Rainbows. Why? - Cuz they offer alot more ES and needed res! If you decide to use skyforth you would lose quite some damage cuz you have to switch out at least one or even two dmg. jewels for res. jewels!!! If you really hate stuns tho, they might be for you.

Spoiler
+ Icestorms chilled ground effect is a sweet defensive mechanic! + Freezes enemies very often! + High ES when wearing Vertex! 10k+ as Low life is really something! + The ability to pre-cast icestorms on some bosses! (Don't you dare do that on Atziri's splitphase!) + Easy kiting (if needed!) thx to icestorms sweet base AoE and chilled ground! + 81/81/82 Res + up to 42-52% block chance with a (non)legacy Rumi's! + Relatively cheap to get started... (Talking 1-2Ex here!) + High ES recharge rate thx to Bated Breath! + Whispering Ice does NOT need to be 6L but only 6S for it to work wonders! + Can do Atziri and maps up to tier 14 solo with no problems! + ABSURD Dmg! As said in the title up to nearly 17k Avg.Dmg. tooltip. (if anyone wants to calc the real dps please go ahead!) + Reflect isn't an issue thx to vaal pact + res. flasks! + You gain quite some dmg. from your jewels via converting STR/DEX into Int! + 9 Jewel Sockets! Con's
Spoiler
- If you really want to take the build into the extreme it gets expensive! - Stun! This is NOT a "brain-afk" build! You have to position yourself properly and make good use of flasks! Cast when stunned linked to frostwall helps alot should you get hit by something! - If you don't pay attention corrupting blood will kill you rather fast! Again! NOT a brain-afk build! :) - Getting late game jewels can be painfull... cost around 1-5 ex each! - Cap'ing Res. can be tricky if running Black Sun Crest + Sin Treks! - Managing all 7 auras can be tricky when starting! ««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« ««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« Now lets take a look at my offensive and defensive stats!

There is NO WAY around them!
Spoiler
Why do we needs this staff? It's obvious, without it = no icestorm! Low life body armour of choice that also is highly recommended! This one is an alternative to Shavs, you lose alot of ES tho... At my current state I would drop down from 10,4k ES to 7,5k with Solaris. Still a decend number of ES + the 25% light radius can be nice, not even kidding! ... I still pref. Shavs tho :') EDIT:My current gear, jewels & flasks: Keep in mind that archieving that kind of gear may take some time but if you are willing to spend some time on ur character I can assure you will archieve it!

Depending on some maps/bosses and such I might switch out some flasks for better fitting ones. ««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« ««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««« My gem setups:

Weapon: 6S (Again! No need for a 6L here!): Icestorm (from the staff) - Spell Echo - Elemental Focus - Controlled Destruction - Hypothermia - Cold Penetration - Life Leech. Swap in Concentrated Effect for Spell Echo against tanky bosses! Helmed: 4L: Blood Magic - Herald Of Ice - Purity Of Lightning - Clarity (Depending on your current level Claritys level needs to be adjusted!) You can also switch Herald Of Ice for Arctic Armor if you want to be a bit more defensive! Body Armour: 3L: Flame Dash - Faster Casting - Vaal Discepline 3L: Cast When Stunned - Frost Wall - Summon Flame Golem Gloves: 4L: Enlighten - Purity Of Fire - Purity Of Ice - Enduring Cry/Rallying Cry The choice between the two Warcries is basicly either a bit more def or dmg.
