What should be the priority for upgrade? Sitting around 7.2k ES, still kinda squishy for a CI character.
Get a better chest. 20 Int 700 ES is terrible. After that look for better boots.

How do you handle freeze for this build ? I have been following the guide and doing well until Merc Izaro. He just froze me and I died a few times because I can't leech him when I am frozen. I was lv 70 with 7k ES (on scion, I have a witch too). I was unable to keep fortify up nor face tank him cause of the freeze. I used an anti feeeze flask after that and it was fine. However, the 2nd time I did it with a friend to help him. Izaro had increased hp and I ran out of flask charges as he kept freezing and chilling me ending up in my death again. Only managed to clear it on the 1st try when I swopped my boots out for wanderlust for the freeze immunity, dropping my ES down to 6k. Is auxium required? or should I fill my flask bar with more anti freeze flasks? I already bought a decent int belt for 1.5 exalted so.... =(.
Anti-free flask should be enough. Or two if you are dragging a friend with you who is not helping you dps. If Merc Izaro is not dead/locked by the time you run out of flask charges then you are severely lacking DPS. In case of Izaro, just do him on a day when he is not getting cold damage buffs. Or don't let him get the buffs.

I only had one anti freeze flask that time. My tooltip for ice storm was around 3k, slightly above 4K with golems and elemental overload. I was using IR as my 6th gem though =X instead of CE. It was fine soloing him, but with my friend who wasn't helping to sos, the fight got too drawn out and 3 charges weren't enough =(. What tooltip dps do you recommend for Uber Izaro(with a friend who isn't dps)?

So would the best corrupted version of the Whispering Ice Vile Staff be the one with .2% fire damage life leech? Are other ones better? Or is it optimal to have the 12% chance to block?
Also, I have a question on Perandus Signet (sorry if this is explained elsewhere), does it count unique jewels as unique items for the int% gain?

I managed to craft this. Is it a good idea to add ES using Tora or just go for move speed?
Edit: Oops, I looked at it wrong at first. Yes, add ES.

I have tried various corrupted mods and found that there is nothing better than 12% block.
0.2% leech mod is too inconsequential.
(before you ask) AoE mod does not work here at all: there is no socketed Icestorm gem.
12% block is actually a very good mod for facetanking.
Perandus signet does not count jewels (I wish!). They are not a part of your armor.

I did some really expensive minor upgrades. Perfect WI, perfect Astramentis, better gloves, 2nd 15% BlackSun Crest with green socket for Shaper, 3 Izaro's Turmoils, 24Int Jewels
Got 1532 Int, and 7146dps in Town. Total ES is 8860ES with lvl 21 Discipline. Alls Gems but TC are maxed 20/20. 2Vaal Discipline lvl 20 and lvl 15 (will level this more) are ready.
Flasks are ready like in the boss guide recommended (little difference in the sapphire flask I got chemists instead of experimenters)
All Guardians are dead. Mino, Phoenix were easy. Chimera killed me once in fog phase. And hydra was a pain in the ass and killed me like 5 times before dying.
Is there anything missing to be shaper viable but the lvl 3 enlighten?
I know my boots are missing speed, but it is really hard to find proper boots like this with speed :( without breaking my resistance.
If anybody got some I would buy them.
Am I missing anything there?

nice hmm why are you 8k es with discpline
I have 10k Es with discpline
lol
Cause I dont have a 940ES body armour and you skilled Forsight what gives +20%ES. I play 3 Curse and you are just playing 1 Curse. That are big differences.
