[2.6] The Curse Whisperer - Tri-Curse CI Whispering Ice Elementalist - Viable for Everything
|
I'm interested in trying this, but what kind of budget is a person looking at to make this semi-viable? All the uniques and high ES/int/resist gear makes this look fairly expensive, although very fun once geared decently.
From a quick glance, like 200-300 chaos I'm thinking to get all the mandatory and suggested items? I currently have about 130c from my league starter and trying to decide if I want to take the plunge into this build or not. |

I'm almost sure perandus signet is useless with 4 uniques.
I got unique helmet, staff, belt and amulet. Soon i will change belt for rare, and ring for unique +1 curse, so it will be still 4 uniques. Resist ring with +53 int gives me exacly 70 int right now with perfect sun crest and perfect whispering ice staff. Perandus ring give me 102 int with 4 uniques (with unique ring it would be 137, but then i need to change it for rare crystal belt, so still 102). So it's only 30 int difference, when in ring we can have good resists, more spell dmg, energy shield etc. I think perandus signet is not worth it after nerf. What you will say guys? |

Ok, I may be missing something here, and I do apologize if this has already been pointed out, but I did not red the whole 260+ previous pages in this thread. Why are you using sulphur flasks when you have vaal pact? Pact prevents life regen from consecrated ground.

" 1 staff + 1 helmet + 1 amulet + 1 belt + 1 ring = 5 1 staff + 1 helmet + 1 amulet + 2 ring = 5 Perandus is a unique item too. Edit: If you count Perandus as a unique and still get 102 int, then you might want to look into that. " 40% increased damage. Last edited by Levirael#2580 on Mar 15, 2017, 1:08:16 PM

" this has been confirmed by GGG a long time ago, it does not work for WI. " with only 4 uniques, perandus included, perandus isnt really worth it, thats correct. with 5 uniques, it is worth it though. staff, helm, amu, two rings -> thats 5 uniques. the only downside is that you will struggle to cap your resist with all those uniques. |

" In my opinion, your 130c would be Plenty to get the build up and running. I just looked through Poetrade and you can easily get mediocre Int & 1 resist gear for around 15-20c each. You can fill out resists in jewel slots easily enough and the crystal belt doesn't have to come until later. As for your chest you could manage to get a 600 es chest without spending much. I started the league w/ this character and I'm certain that with your 130c you could get the build in fighting shape. |

It's very important to level up Scorching Ray to 20lvl? Levels in this gem changes only DPS from scor ray, right? Cuz i have sometimes mana issues when killing boss from range.
On 1 level SCOR ray i would have 4 mana cost per sec instead of 14. This 3k dps not change anything i guess? Last edited by Sessvisto#2703 on Mar 15, 2017, 3:28:33 PM

" Thanks that is very encouraging :D. I suppose the only real expense is astramentis, but perhaps I could just use a rare amulet for the time being until I want to commit the currency to that purchase. I think I may just give this a whirl. |

I have one question, why do you need catalyze in the passive tree?
I thought its "24%" would add some damage, but it doesnt. Or do we get it because of its 10 int points? Last edited by Cronirion#7172 on Mar 15, 2017, 3:43:27 PM

" It's 10 int + another 10 int converted with Brute Force jewel. |
