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

Hiya - very new player here. Love this build and am really enjoying my experience.

I made an error and leveled my Ball Lightning and CWDT gems. Can you answer two things for me?

1) Where can I get a new CWDT gem at level 1?

2) Why does the build require them CWDT to stay at level 1? I understand Ball Lightning level 4 because that is max level that lvl 1 CWDT will work. I believe that this is because CWDT scales poorly and we don't care about the damage from Ball Lightning, only the crit trigger? In this case, higher level CWDT will work, just poorly.

Thanks a ton for all the work with this build!

Buy a CWDT gem, sell it to a vendor with an orb of regret to make it lvl 1. You keep it lvl 1 because it procs more often.

CWDT lv 1 requires only 528 damage to trigger. Higher levels take more damage and trigger less often.
I'd first like to say thank you for the build! One of the most powerful I've ever played.

I did have a question on gear. I know every rare piece of gear pretty much must have INT, ES, and resists. What about life? At that point isn't life ES since it's converted to ES anyway? For example:

Crystal Belt
+68 max ES
+83 life
+41 ES
+resists

Isn't the total ES 192 here or am I completely wrong?

Where did you get that we're converting Life to ES?

Oh boy I had a feeling I was wrong. I guess I thought the skill that makes your health 1 then takes that health you had into ES ...
First of all, thank you for your sharing this build to us...
After the pacht 3.0, what will we do for ES changing. As you know, "combination of the life leech to ES instantly" will not work anymore (most importantly). Playing this build was very very much fun and i want to play again in new league too. Please, share with us, when you do the new version of the passive tree.

The current idea is Life/MoM, starting with the Berserker class. I've been trying it on Beta and in Standard. There are some more details in the Marauder version thread.

Beta Wizerker Test 1

It's a bit less safe with 4k life than it was with 10k ES, but my gear and levels aren't quite there yet either. And Beta sucks in general, a real league should be more fun.

Hi there. Is there any change to replace Scorching Ray with something else? I'm aware that is key to this build, but I just hate it. I'm perfectly fine losing some dps for a different, yet viable skill. Thanks a bunch!

I suppose you can use Incinerate instead of Scorching Ray. Or Blight (but that would contribute absolutely nothing). Or simply self-cast Icestorm like in the old times before CwC (replace SR and CwC with two DPS gems; but you will need Enlighten and Deep Thoughts to sustain mana).
