For a more detailed explanation of the build check out the video guide: CI Vaal Ice Nova
If you have any questions you can always come to my twitch stream to get them answered or just to enjoy the stream: Ghazzy's Livestreaming Channel __________________________________________________________________________ Is this build for you? 1. If you are looking for a Vaal ability build that is not Spark or Fireball! 2. A build that is viable in both hardcore & sofcore. 3. High eHP with really good clearing speed that is not using relying on leeching. 4. If you prefer a build guide that has a video linked to it. __________________________________________________________________________ Build Enabling Items: Beast Fur Shawl Chill of Corruption Sacrificial Harvest __________________________________________________________________________ Defence & Utility You'll have really high eHP and with the use of Zealot's Oath all life regeneration will be based of your Energy Shield instead. On top of this you will also be regenerating extra Energy Shield when ever you kill something thanks to Vile Bastion. Keep in mind that all of these regeneration effects scaled with the increased recovery rate provided by Beast Fur Shawl! __________________________________________________________________________ Skill-gems & Setups: Vaal Ice Nova: - Vaal Ice Nova, Spell Echo, Inc. Crit - Cold Penetration - Inc. AoE - Empower lvl 3+ (if not lvl3+ then use Controlled Destruction) Glacial Cascade: - Glacial Cascade, Spell Echo, Conc. Effect, Controlled Destruction (If used in a Rime Gaze, remove Conc. effect and add inc. crit) Utility: - Shield Charge, Faster Attacks, Fortify - Orb of Storms, Curse on Hit, Warlord's Mark, (Can add Herald of Ice here as well) Auras: - Herald of Ice, Discipline, Herald of Thunder Stand alone sockets: - Lightning Golem __________________________________________________________________________ Skill-tree & Ascendancy Nodes: Ascendancy Nodes: You start by picking up Forbidden Power to then move along towards Vile Bastion via Wicked Ward Leveling skill-tree, 27 points Leveling skill-tree, 65 points Leveling skill-tree, 90 points Finished skill-tree A few notes: 1. Once the skill-tree is finished, just focus 100% on more jewel slots. 2. Only pick up CI when you feel comfortable in doing so. __________________________________________________________________________ Leveling Tips: You could rush towards Elemental Overload, or Ancestral Bond and selfcast Firestorm or use 2x Spell Totems with Firestorm to lvl your way up. Usually I'd recommend playing an Occultist ED/Contagion build before transitioning to this build due to the currency cost of the jewels required tomake this build work. Bandits: - Normal: Kill them all for 1 extra skill point. - Cruel: Kill them all for 1 extra skill point. - Merciless: Help: Alira for 1 extra Power Charge. __________________________________________________________________________ Gearing & Stat Priorities Defensive Stats: 1. Energy Shield 2. Resistances 3. Intelligence Offensive Stats: 1. Area Damage 2. Damage 3. Cold Damage 4. Spell Damage My current gear:
