[2.6] The Curse Whisperer - Tri-Curse CI Whispering Ice Berserker - Viable for Everything

yesterday, I tried breach tul domain.
Trash mobs are ez pz but when facing the boss, The lighting orb keeps zapping me and cancel my Channing skill. I was no more than a sitting duck on that fight.
Any idea how to deal with this or I need to respect into Unwavering Stance?

can you explain why using scorching ray + cwc set up is better than manually casting icestorm by itself?

more damage (lower res from ray), less mana cost (several times cheaper), more casts per second (no reliance on cast speed from gear)

Going changing a bit on passive tree.
1. Grap 3 nodes above witch tree for 50% avoid stun + 50% stun avoidance from lab enhancement ( merciless ) or 80% on on uber lab .
3. Instead of take Rite of Ruin, I will grab Cloaked in Savagery for massive leech when take savage hit ( which you did most of the time when vs boss).
What are your thoughts on this ?
Thanks.

Missed this. That's all bad.

Practical application doesn't give you stun avoidance, it only lets you finish casting when you get stunned. And the boot enchantment gives stun avoidance only 'if killed recently' which is a lesser form of Rite of Ruin.

The only possible way to get a Savage Hit with CI is to die.

kelvynn have u thought about getting other dps gem than elemental proliferation to take advantage of ignite damage

Ignite damage is based on 1 hit. Our individual hits are tiny.

You are talking about Esh, not Tul? Don't stand near his lightning orbs. Bring flasks for it. Use PoL if you want to be safer. Pop the adds for more leech. The videos for all breach domains are in the top post.

I have completed 40/40 challenges in the Breach league with my Berserker, including 10 Uber Atziri and 40 Guardians.


Guide updated.

Life Leech is back as the main option. CD is a secondary option now. While more DPS is fun, survivability is still better in the endgame. Everything dies fast enough with LL, but you die a lot less often. The only place where CD is really worth it is Uber Atziri.

Dropped Deep Thoughts, it was just a leftover from the pre-CwC era. Everything is achieved 2 levels earlier now.

Trickery moved to the 'final levels' options. Yes, you can farm the Shaper at lv 86, as long as you have the gear.

Thanks Kelvyn for the build.

I'm sure its likely been asked in one of the other character type build threads, but why not pick up equilibrium since it's literally a 1 node pick up?

Wouldn't having one piece of gear with added lightning damage cause -50 fire res on fire be worth it?

Unless I'm missing how the CwC-SR and Pyre mechanics work.

Icestorm produces 10 fire damage hits per second, per cast. EE would just make everything 25% more resistant to fire.

How important or how much of a dps boost is a black sun crest? Currently wearing a hubris atm, not sure if i want to switch to the black sun crest yet, my resists are all balanced out atm, black sun might trigger my ocd

To be honest I only started this build because of how well its explained and how detailed this guide is.

Then I realized that it's in fact most fun I ever had :)

Good job sir.

When trying to 5 link my chest I managed to 6L it, any change in gem setup for a 6L?
