[2.6] The Curse Whisperer - Tri-Curse CI Whispering Ice Berserker - Viable for Everything
|
Tried this build finally this league on Berserker after playing it previously on Scion and Witch on Standard with end game gear. Killed the Shaper few times but it felt harder than on Standard with end game gear , probably also because Berserker does take more damage then the other 2 classes I played previously
Berserker level 94 on Legacy league : INT: 1769 ES: 10203 DPS: 8.566 in hideout with Chaos Golem and LL (12.570 max DPS with Elemental Overload) 13.014 in hideout with Chaos Golem and EF instead of LL ( 19.098 max DPS with Elemental Overload) Resistances : 78/76/71 (fire/cold/lightning) My gear in Legacy : Overall I felt it much better on Shaper and even on some T16s without LL , way more DPS when replacing LL with EF . Dont know what will happen in 3.0 if this build will still be viable , but now even with the nerf to Pyre and the (ES+Int) gear prices skyrocketing because of the fkin HOWA builds , this build still delivers a lot of fun and power to be able to do entire game content. Thanks again to Kelvynn to make such a powerful build without going crazy with spending hundreds of exalts to be able to roll the entire content ! |

why do u use pyre ring if u have avatar of fire, because as much as i check , the cold > fire [with pyre] doesnt add more fire dps pwich u should get from 40% conversion] in tooltip, or im missing something ?
can u pls explain this ? |

" This build does not use Pyre anymore since it was nerfed in 2.6. Except for the Standard league where 100% Pyre is easy to find. See Gear - Recommended Uniques. |

Hey, enjoying this build quite a bit. Got insta-gibbed twice by Uber Izaro because of that damned teleport thing (didn't read your boss notes) but other than that it's handling content pretty well.
So I'm at about 7800 ES and about 5,400 on the Ice Storm tooltip. If I were to drop another 8-10 EX on this thing, where would you advise I place it? And would it significantly help my experience? I'm getting through all content T14 and below pretty well, but Shaper and the guardians are wrecking me. Side note, help me understand why Orb Of Storms is so important on the harder boss fights? I place it but don't really notice a big difference...am I doing something wrong? Gear

" 1500 Int at lv 82 means you have very nice items. But you still have 3 jewel sockets to grab. And your gems are probably not 20/20 yet? The damage will come as you get those things. |
|
" What's your Int? 5400 tooltip is really low for Berserker, and 7800 ES is low too - suggesting that your Int is abnormally low. How do you max resists with those items? Are you using jewels for resists instead of Int/damage, or something? That's a bad idea. What to upgrade? Belt, boots, chest. The items you have in those slots are from a HOWA build and could be sold for good currency to HOWA users. But for this build you want to max your resists without wasting jewels on it, and you don't need a 6L chest. See my 2.5 league gear. That whole set was less than the amount you mentioned (8-10 ex). Once you have stats similar to mine in 2.5, you should be able to farm T16 instead of getting wrecked there. Orb of Storms? See Q&A. Last edited by Kelvynn#6607 on Apr 7, 2017, 6:44:26 PM

Thanks. Having some seriously bad luck with the belt; that was by far my best roll and I'm 20 Deafening Essence of Spites in now (400 Chaos!). The trade channels are really weak in Standard so I think things are a lot more expensive, but I'll keep an eye out. FWIW, Int is 1440 and I'm using jewels for resists.
I was a bit off...actually 6400 after a new jewel or two, but still, yes, not where I need to be with life Also, during writing of this I just dropped another 80 chaos on spites and my new best is ...I must have pissed off RNGesus Last edited by SecondTormid#2819 on Apr 7, 2017, 10:04:17 PM

Wow, that's terrible luck if you can't roll anything better than one weak res mod. You must have pissed off RNGesus indeed. :(
Usually you get at least one high res (40%+) mod in 5-7 tries. At that point you use that belt and get decent gloves/boots to get the missing resists, and a rare ring with the rest (and 60+ Int) if needed. That's typically your 2nd endgame set (the first one at lv 70 is 1-5c stuff to start mapping). It should allow you to start farming endgame. And then as the currency becomes available you roll another belt until you get 2 good res mods. It and whatever chest armor you decide to stop at = the foundation of your final gear set. Then just look for gloves and boots to max resists without a rare ring. Then wear Perandus Signet and you are done with gear. |

" Hi, Im currently lvl 90 now with 1.6k int and 9.4k ES. I also have dps jewels used but how come my dps with LL is only at 7k while yours got up to 8.5k? i cant really get my dps to go up to atleast 8k with LL |
