[3.5] The Blinding Blizzard - Whispering Ice CI Elequisitor - Viable For Everything

I'd like to go with this build as ssf. I really love cold dmg, but I'm worried about reflect. Would suck not being able to run reflect maps as ssf. Can occ version handle reflect maps as ssf?

I obviously haven't played Occultist with this build, but no, it cannot imho.
I played a PP occultist a bit last league. I was dying fast pretty directly after the portal everytime in white and yellows: I several times didn't look at the map affixes...

With my Scion I simply didn't really care: even the no leech ones: go back to hideout and fetch a mana flask, done. SSF I would stay with Scion, much better and especially much more tested "I don't care" package.

Interesting question for trade league start - is it better to snatch WI+fertile mind asap from trade or level as something else (winter orb as example) and get staff at A9-A10?

Hi Kel

Why did you choose the more mana jewel slot on the right side and not the more elemental dmg slot on the top of tree. Its only one point more.
Or do we have many issues with wo?

I wouldn't be so sure, actually.

We have Yugul pantheon if needed (-25% reflected damage taken). If not enough, we can somehow adapt sibyl's lament. It would be enough.

Scion with "i don't care attitude" is the better choice of course. But i like occultist "don't care attitude" too, in better tanking capabilities, full stun, freeze, and chill immunity and ES regen and recharge options.

Can't say what's better, but will definitely use occultist version this league, because "hey, it's new"
SO WO and scion, it would be good alternative to scorching ray or not?) Dont wanna make occ... And what better cold or fire for scion?

Depends. It's the age old damage vs defence argument iirc. Pure fire conversion should still beat out Pure Cold damage in terms of damage on bosses, but Pure Cold has both Chill and Freeze for safely plus HoI and WO for help with trash clearing.

3.5 Update

The build is updated for 3.5: it's the same! :) I may add the cold version later.

The new Occultist version is here. I tested it on Standard, still without the new 3.5 stuff and... was able to facetank the Shaper's ball barrage with my 2-mod Watcher's Eye + Arakaali. The leech is real.


i know it's only few hours until new league, but can you upload a video from this shaper kill?

pretty pls :D

Sure!

New video: Occultist Pre-flight Check

Dat leech!
Nice build, thanks! I'll try this in 3.5
Just one question: Is there an updated skilltree? Couldn't find it so far, but maybe I just missed it.
