[3.1] The Blinding Blizzard - Whispering Ice Berserker - Viable for Most Everything
" Kaom's gives me slightly over 1000 hp. I tried a Belly (iirc it was 36%?) and it gave me about 400 hp. That's compared to this armor that I wore when I started mapping: Small update: I wanted to do everything at lv 92 as usual for the videos, but GGG is in no hurry to fix the crashes. And since this is a 'free xp' league (Beachhead map gives absolutely retarded amounts of xp), I leveled to 95 to check out what the 3 levels can do. The amount of life from the small 5% nodes was really underwhelming: about 130 hp with Kaom's per node. So I grabbed another jewel socket (between Witch and Shadow), and that gave me 1k extra tooltip. So, 400 hp vs 1k dmg. For a SC league it's a no-brainer, I went with the damage, and I like it. With 10k tooltip, if the Shaper doesn't go into the Portal or Bubble phase as his first or second animation, i.e. stays in my pre-stacked 14x Icestorms and attacks me, the fight is over in less than 10 sec. LOL. Tried HoGM 2 more times. It's not so bad, with a few minor changes (including re-coloring boots RGBB, but that's trivial), if you just pull them 1 by 1. But it's a retarded crashfest. In 2 maps, I had 3 client crashes with an error message about loading some sword graphic resource, and they both ended in an instance crash at the end of the 2nd wing when I killed some lv 94 cycloner named LivingSnacks. And I think that's also exactly who crashed my 1st attempt last week. I'll try again. Each GM is supposed to have about 50% chance to spawn, so maybe I won't get him eventually. Other than that, I only had 1 death. It's doable if it doesn't crash. Just slower and not nearly as much fun as the Yolo Faceroll with the 2.5 CI version.

First of all, Nice guide. Well written and easy to follow.
Quick question, I understand that belly is a cheaper alternative to Kaom. If I were to use belly, would you recommend any skill to use into those socket ? Since it allow at least 4sl without breaking the piggy bank. Thanks |

Wow, just switched to this at lvl 39....should be called the BOSS MELTER. Finally having used the set up, I see that the AoE nodes aren't needed. Can't wait to start putting on some real gear.

" If you use a Belly, you can have a 5L curse link (CWDT - BL - CoH - Enfeeble - Blind) and bring back the high lv CWDT - Immortal Call - Inc Duration - Flame Golem from the old version. Plus you will have extra sockets for the Purities without swapping gems. |

Hi!
sitting at lvl 85 now, with 5234 hp, 1251 int and 6365 avg hit on ice storm, my gems are only lvl 19 so im guessing getting about around 8k+ when they get qualitied up to 20/20 ? i done minotaur, phoenix and hydra already havent got my hands on a chimera, sure the maps were not rared since i never done the fights before so i wanted to check them up so didnt have to use any resists flasks like 3 cold flasks vs hydra but rareing them up im guessing i have to do that but i want more dmg first. also missing still the jewel slot above with so missing 7% max life there so thanks for guide again kelvynn :) |

" Was wondering since blind moves out of Orb + Arcane combo ... that 2 slots could be CoH + Flammability ? Wouldn't that be more benefit than adding the 2 purity that can't be activated ? Thanks again |
|
" Don't move Blind out of the Orb link, just add another copy to the 5L CWDT. That way pretty much everything will be Blind most of the time. You can't have a 2nd curse, unless you swap one ring for Doedre's Damning. Flammability is an option, but endgame bosses have 80% curse mitigation, so it's not really that good for bosses, and trash already melts quickly. You can play around with this stuff when you have so many sockets without Kaom's. But I can't think of a really good use for all those extra sockets. |

Awesome, awesome guide, as usual.
I was a big fan of your Witch-based version, pre-3.0. How much of that stuff can transfer over to this Life-based Marauder version? Obviously the belt won't be a crystal belt anymore, etc... but say I've got a Witch in Standard still using all WI setup that you made a guide for pre-3.0 (including Astramentis, etc.) How much of that might transfer over to this version? Or would it be better to just go hunt for/buy/craft the high-life versions instead (rings, belt, etc.)? Thanks for all the insight, as always! Last edited by Baloosh#4288 on Aug 31, 2017, 9:05:46 AM
