Hello,
Do you think this build can be used as the starter char in the new essence league? I haven't checked whispering ice and astramentis prices in the first 1-2 days of the league.

Thx in advance.




Wondering the same thing

I'm not op but honenstly, Icestorm is a cool spell to use to level up from scratch, the only real problem is you need to find and buy a whispering ice early. Maybe you should try to build around Firestorm to level up until then ?

Is using leap slam mandatory? I really don't like it.

This build is really socket starved. You may use another movement skill but then you will lack fortify.
Maybe you can get whirling blades using alternate weapon set, but i personally don't like this type of micromanagement.

im very happy that this build basically didnt get touched at all. concerning the question whether its a good starter build: its fantastic under one condition: obtaining a whispering ice staff during the first 24 hours of the league. we'll see.

just a word of warning though: obtaining a WI staff early on was super-easy in prophecy league thanks to that low level prophecy that gave this staff as a reward. we won't be having this option in AoW, so whispering ice might be worth a whole lot more.

We still have access to prophecies, just less silver coins drop, no?
WI staff is free - got 6 of them via prophecies during Normal and Cruel.
A question about prophecy mechanics,
If i get the prophecy, i should wait to level 50 to complete it to get a 6-linkable staff. Correct?

Nope, just do it as soon as possible.
You DONT NEED 6 LINK in WI
6 SOCKETS IS CHEAP WITH VORICI

Yes you should make sure your whispering ice becomes itemlevel 50, which is the requirement for 6 sockets.

I believe one of you misunderstood the word "linkable" - 6 sockets is 6-linkable. But yes, no need to actually link it, but it needs to be 6-linkable hehe.

Of course Vorici is an alternative to bypass the itemlevel requirement, but would not recommend in a new league due to Level 6 Vorici AND 350 jewellers.

2016-08-30: Nothing changed in 2.4 for this build, except that bosses mitigate curses better now.


Yes they did. Take a look at how they nerfed Elementalist.
