Another note to everyone else and would be helpful if you specifically mentioned this Kelvynn. I did not know about the interaction with CWDT and Curse on hit with curses. Specifically I didn't know that your curses have to be higher level than your cast when damage taken or it wont work. This is probably obvious to most but I was very confused for a long time as to why none of my curses were getting applied. It would be helpful to mention something in the links section about the curses needing to be higher level than cwdt. Thanks for the great guide its been a blast.

Hmm... indeed, I thought specifying the exact levels was enough.

5L: CWDT (lv 1) - Ball Lightning (lv 4) - Curse of Hit (20/20) - Enfeeble (lv 20) - Temporal Chains (lv 20).

But I guess not everybody knows the inner works of CWDT. I'll add a note there about it.

Kelvynn, can you post a pic of your defense tab please? I'd like to see your resists.

leveling this build in hardcore - lvl 43 currently with 900 life / 750es

not sure if I can transition into CI already.. ~1,1k es only feels so low

any ideas what is needed minimum?
with my low life pool now - the chaos damage from mobs hurts a lot

Current from the Standard league (my profile is public, can see the current gear there):



Keep in mind that this is Standard. You cannot expect to have these items in a temp league after 1 week unless you are filthy rich.

Guardian of the Phoenix

Small arena, mostly fire damage. I'm using the Uber Atziri setup, except that there is nothing to dodge, nothing can 1-shot you. Very easy fight as long as you don't neglect to kill the adds (they stack some kinda fire debuff on you). I brought Ruby flasks but they were not really needed. 1.5 min fight with +46% life mod.

Hey I'm trying to get going with Whispering Ice as we speak.

I noticed there are a couple WI builds atm.

What are the main differences between this build and WaffleT's Templar version? It looks like the templar has bigger defence, dps and speed?

Edit: link to templar build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1697785/page/1

Note that i plan to max out about level 87/88.

I was wondering about all those sulphur flasks in your Guardian video. I looked up consecrated ground and the wiki says it provides life regeneration. And I thought Vaal Pact disabled life regen, so I was just wondering what's going on there. I assume the flasks are all going right into regenerating your ES somehow?

Nice! How soon can we expect to see you kill Shaper?:)

He doesn't have faster speed, his video is just sped up. ;)

He doesn't have bigger DPS either, Elementalist has much higher resist penetration, it just doesn't show in the tooltip.

I dunno about the defenses. Guardian has armor, block and resists. Elementalist has curses, leech and anti-reflect. One may be better than the other in different situations.

This build can do everything in PoE pretty easily and you can see it in the videos. With almost any mods. That build - no idea what it can and cannot do, which bosses and mods. The only video it has is an easy trash clear.

But the biggest difference? The budget. Not new league friendly, at all.

It's nice to have variety though. The more the better.

Consecrated ground does nothing for this build. I use Sulphur flasks for two reasons:

1. With reduced charges mod (Chemist's) they can be used 4 times before refilling. That's 19.2 sec of the buff of your choice per flask. Or roughly 1.5 min total without refilling.

2. They give 40% increased dmg buff.

Guardian of the Chimera

This guy deals physical and chaos damage. Nothing serious. Except one trick: he disappears into the fog, and you get hit by really fast and heavy physical projectiles every 1 sec until you find him. This can absolutely destroy an unsuspecting non-life/armor character. But once you figure it out (he's in the fog!) and bring a couple of flasks such as these:

then he's not so scary anymore. One each is enough, I didn't get to use the spare ones, adds refill them.
