Sorry, I meant that I cant decide ffs coz Im confused atm :(

Im running Spell Echo - FastCast - Cold pene - Hypo - IncAoe - Reduced Mana (for now)

inc AoE lowers clear speeds IMO and is also stated on the icestorm wiki not to use

it spaces out the ice spears so they are no longer overlapping on impact

+1!

Thats exactly what I meant. Thx for explaining it in a better way than I did! Much appreciated! :)

I tried following your build. The exact same items and gem setup and skill tree. I can't even cast my whispering ice lmao.

I'm sorry but you are doing something wrong than.

If you could please link your tree and gear so either me or someone else fallowing this build could help you out.

What could I upgrade? Just bought today some cheap Atramentis. :)

I know I need Shav's, but I dont have the currency for it. That's why I'm playing atm with CI.

Lvl 78
ES: 7699
Int: 882, I think that's a bit low ?:D

Zahk, I found the error. It's +1 on the rainbow strides. I don't have +1 rainbow strides so I cannot run all the auras needed. I have level 3 enlighten, but I guess need level 4 with the +1 rainbows.

One question - Does Icestorm chill every monster except Atziri? I noticed that some map bosses do not get chilled. I don't want to waste hypothermia like that.

Right now my link is life leech - hypothermia - cold penetration - echo - concentrated effect - controlled destruction

Zahk, what is your dps with no flasks no nothing except only auras and golem? And are you getting to 2200 int with the vertex + rainbows? Or the other setup? Because my int is only 1930.

If you are planning to go low life soon save up your currency for a shavs!
That would be the best thing to do imho!

Otherwise you could try to get 2x perandus signet, capping res might get tricky than tho!

The +1 Rainbows shouldnt be the issue, you checked if your Clarity might be leveled up too high? That has been a common issue people had so far...

Icestorm does indeed chill allmost every mobs except for atziri.
I usually switch in Poison nowadays for her, its only a minor dmg. increase but sure helps!

And the 2,2k INT. is with Black Sun Crest and Sin Treks!

Also my tooltip with conc. in HO wearing vertex + rainbows w/o any buffs/flasks its 8,3k.
With Black Sun Crest + Sin trek in HO w/o buffs/flasks my conc.tooltip is 9,5k
Both of these setups are PURE COLD DMG. ONLY setups since I prefer a more defensive setup!

A conc. cold to fire setup with sun crest + sin treks in ho would be 12,5k tooltip with no buffs or flasks and a conc. vertex + rainbows would be 10,9k

Hope this answeres ur questions! :)

I'll double check again - it might be the case with the clarity level, though at level 15 (like yours) I still do not have enough mana at all. It only worked once I removed empower as a mana multiplier.

Also, I heard the chilled ground does not work on some higher level map rolls with "enemies immune to chill status"

My current setup is life leech - concentrated effect - cold penetration - hypothermia - echo - controlled destruction for 6L

If I were to remove hypothermia, what would be the idea support gem to replace it?
I'm thinking either Iron Will or Added Chaos Damage, would you agree - or is there another gem like Cold to Fire that works better?

EDIT: Hey - do I need a level 4 enlighten? Because right now with everything including the added empower, I only have 52 mana out of 2643. This is for your boots setup with Enlighten - empower - purity of elements - discipline

I also have same problem as mentioned above, adding the empower gem in the boots will make the auras cost too much for me. I changed my purity of elements to the glove slot instead of enduring cry until i can get a higher level enlighten. Im only using a lvl 2 enlighten at the moment and cant even activate the aura atm using a lvl2.

My gear at the moment.

Hi, rly nice build, thx alot, having tons of fun playing it, currently lvl 76 hc talisman, i read all 16 pages and nobody talking about The Broken Crown, dat gives 20% damage on low life, 60+ chaos res, decent
es\armor rolls and also all attribute, yea its reduce mana regen but i dont have a problems with it. I bought it for 1c, cuz on hc talisam atm selling 2 vertexes 5ex each, so if you dont have currency for vertex, like i am cuz i spend 8ex for shavs, get The Broken Crown

Also have an idea with Gentle Touch, you may vaal Cast when stunned on em, i have no chanse to get Atziri's Acuity on HC, so i guess i ll use Gentle with vaaled CwS: Frost Wall - Chaos Golem - Immortal Call\Molten Shell - Inc Duration.
