yeah you do, but if i take these reduced reservatoin nodes i wont get unwavering until 97 (aka never), and i lose potency of the will entirely. the alternative would be to lose the fire damage/penetration nodes at the top of the tree, grab unwavering at 92 and potency at 96. Also if you're running enfeeble on blasphemy you'll get stunned less as well.

idk just something to think about.



You reaaaaally do not want to lose potency of will. You will not be able to clear a lot of end game content without it, it's an insanely big dps loss.

Did you actually check my tree? My char is on public.

I didn't take a lot of dps nodes that OP has taken, including those penetration/fire dmg nodes you are talking about.

I do run temp chains and enfeeble, they are on cwdt lvl 1, and are pretty much up all the time unless I don't get hit (and if I don't get hit - no need to have it up haha)

Again, don't even try running without potency of will. I even have to ditch LL in favor of increased duration to make chayula breachstone map somewhat safe to run, timewise ;)




Potency of the will is really important for dps ? It really worth the 4 skill's points?

What is the optimal level to have CWDT at for immortal call and ball lightning? Also do we use ball lightning just to proc mastermind of discord?

For cdwt set up it depend of your need but people use it mainly to proc often so they keep the cdwt range lvl around 1-5 .

Ball of lightning is used to proc the linked curse on hit but i prefer use arc instead ( personnal choice)

To proc mastermind it's more a linked curse on hit self casting skill like Orb of storm or even a simple unlinked lightning warp !

Your enfeeble is to low level (cwdt is trying to proc it without CoH, which obviously doesn't work)

Level it above CWDT treshold & it will work just fine.
First off, I want to thank you for this amazing build, really solid in both survivability and damage aswell as a really satisfying gameplay.

I was thinking about a suggestion for improvement, I might be thinking badly here, but what about using Empower in a potential 3b 1r link on the whispering ice? Seems to be increasing our damage by a ton aswell as the nice synergy between the +1 lvl for support gems + empower. If you can get your hands on a level 3 empower, then you would get a really nice dmg boost. But you would have to sacrifice life leech or fire pen for that though.
So i dont get any feedback about potency of the will ?
Hey, I'm leveling this build but what I don't get is how you all make Mastermind of Discord work. What's the active lightning skill you are using every 10 seconds?

yes, its very significant. it's a "more" multiplier for ice storm and lets you stack casts longer

Just been busy because holidays, might miss some questions here and there (and OP has been inactive, too)

Potency is a must have because it allows your Icestorms to overlap better, and they stay around much longer when you start moving again - which is very important on chayula/uul-netol breachstones for example.

Also overlapping Icestorms means that with potency you can stack ~15 icestorms, where without you'd get maybe up to 10 - so it is pretty much a 50% more dmg on anything that you can precast on. Like Uber Izaro/Atziri, and Shaper.

Hope that clears it up.
