[2.6] The Curse Whisperer - Tri-Curse CI Whispering Ice Elementalist - Viable for Everything

Kelvynn, ty for your reply in prev. posts.

Have another question. Now i have 2 armors:

1) 47 int + 24 fire ress + 747 ES (5link)
2) 34 int + 45 light ress + 30 cold ress + 790 ES (6link)

which one would be better to use? for example if i manage to respec 1 or 2 points from resistances and add them to some more intelligence nodes should't it be better then 47 int armor? Cuz for the moment can not afford better armor.

Love this build so far! Unfortunately many people seem to love ES builds, dem prices on the market man... :S I had to settle for a destroyer regalia and not the glorious vaal I wanted.

Anyways, what are your thought on this?



I gave a spite essence a shot, got OK int but the other rolls were crap. Would you still say it is better than the unique? Worth keep or rerolling, using any orbs on it?

the 6link on the second chest is pretty useless, but I still like it better. the second chest offers 40 more base ES and 50ish more res. IMHO this clearly outweighs 13 int. if you can still craft another res onto the first chest, I would consider them pretty much even.

that belt is bad. I would just keep throwing shrieking essences of spite at it. buying screaming essence of spite's costs less than 1c, so within 10-15c spent, you should be able to get base ES, a higher res and/or flask charges/effect, which would all provide a significant upgrade over your current rolls.

Deafening Essence of Spite only. That on a 84 base belt which costs 30c alone. You want to create a belt with max int, t1/t2 resist, t1 energy shield and movement speed. So don't be cheap and throw your currency away unless you hope to get something with resell value out of it. Or if you don't want to make your own, save up and buy one. :)

Trying the OP build now with some adjustments :)

Q: Do I need to get 100% Unwavering Stance ... quite far in str area, and I got all res capped now at lvl72.. maybe Practical Application can help with stun??? I have ~7.1k es now, thinking to invest more in es nodes...

In terms of belt: got my trying some luck and waiting now to get lvl 79:


And for helm i use:

3x19% inc damage quite nice damage boost :) yeah, pure ES helm will be massive es boost but for low tier maps it's ok :)

See Q10 in the Q&A.

If your resists are maxed at lv 72 then you probably have very weak Int gear. It won't be enough.

77% increased damage is nice but not as nice as 14-15% increased Int and +1 level gems. You may not feel it at lv 72 but you will at lv 92. You won't stay in low tier maps for long. ;)

I finally moved my ass to do guardians and the shaper that was a piece of cake with 1636int and 9864es.



I rolled this belt just before the shaper :


And got this enchant on my switch black sun crest :


Thanks again for this amazing build, that was a fun league !

Where can I find a crystal belt in standard to trying crafting?

You can't, pretty much. The only way to get an Int Crystal belt or a Spite essence in Standard is to import them from EHC. There is almost nothing for sale. You can make a farm character in EHC to get some currency, buy the essences and rip them to Standard via junk chars, if you are willing to make an effort like that. Or just wait till the Essence leagues are over, but then these belts will become legacy (with legacy pricing) unless GGG decides to add essences to the core game immediately like they did with prophecies.

ETA: Oops, I might have misunderstood you. If you are asking where to find a Crystal belt base for crafting - they drop in the high tier maps of the NW quadrant of the Atlas (Palace, Waterways, Springs, etc), and also randomly from high level rogue exiles. Or just buy one on poe.trade. But to craft Int on it you need an Essence of Spite. And that only drops in the Essence leagues.

This build doesn't make you immune to damage. You will get 1-shotted by the things that are meant to 1-shot. Some of them (Minotaur's ground roll, Shaper's teleport slam) are never used when you facetank them. Others (Uber Atziri's mega flameblasts and stormcalls, Malachai's teleport slam, etc) you just have to dodge.
