[2.4 Video Guide] Inquisitor/Elementalist's Ice Nova SHATTER Crit Build! [HC/SC Viable]

Thanks for this build! I've been having a blast with it so far.


I was wondering how you would go about upgrading the damage to this build from the Lifesprigs. I'm at level 66 so it's not really a strong weapon anymore, but I can't afford a Divinarius on the new league either. Would you recommend a high spell damage wand or a high crit chance dagger? And does it have to be high crit chance, or high crit chance for spells?


Thanks in advance!

Glad you like it! :)

I would recommend a high spell damage, crit (for spells) dagger with decent attack speed (1,5) as a placeholder for Divinarius =)

Opinion on using bitterdream while leveling?

I am a total noob but why do you have Controlled Destruction linked with Increased Crit Strikes on Ice Nova?

wouldnt 100% reduced Crit, make you never crit?

cancel my question, I found it answered on page 3

my new question is can you explain why we take Avatar of Fire, doesnt that just end up reducing Ice Nova's damage by 50%? I am totally confused, I grabbed it as suggested, around 25, then had to get rid of it cause i was killing at half speed

He didnt use Avatar of fire :)

Btw. thanks for the build dude. That must have been LNB build nr. 5 I played so far. All of them were fun and perfectly illustrated.

To be honest I think that guys like you are very important for the game because your detailed but yet easy-to-understand builds keep people playing. I almost quitted in 2013 when I tried to play my own builds because the game is very hard to understand sometimes.

thanks bro and keep up the good work!

No sir it does not.

Just starting in the game and climbing the learning cliff.

I am enjoying the concept of this build so far.

I have one question to help dumb newbs like me.

Does Cast_when_Damage_Taken_Support lvl1, support max level Vaal_Discipline?

I also had a suggestion but it seems like that needs to go to the admins and that was to use coloured text for gems to make it easy to see the sockets needed on the build

Deleted. I changed up my pots and bought a div and seem to be doing better for now.

Been awhile since I've played, but I've came back for this league and enjoying this so far (aside from doing the labs, lol) and was wondering about two of the gem setups.

"

Defensive Setup:

- Cast When Damage Taken (lvl 1), Immortal Call (lvl 1), Increased Duration & Vaal Discipline ( both max level).

Will a level 1 CWDT support the Vaal Discipline at max level? Also, where do we get out endurance charges from to support Immortal Call?

"

Utility:

- Cast When Damage Taken (lvl 12), Stone Golem (lvl 14), Fire Trap & Herald of Ice.

Why such a high level of CWDT? At level 12 it'll take 1635 points of damage to trigger the gem. Is that not too much; or am I overthinking the setup for this and it's actually fine? Is the herald only linked due to lack of gem slots?
