Quick update on the deep delve:
I've now switched the three dragon for a
This allow me to apply freeze on monsters with the cold conversion. It's basicaly the same effect.
I'm now able to put back the indigon again.

Also since i was using "three dragon", i noticed on pob that hypothermia was in front of lighting pen. So my setup has changed quite a bit from yours now.

Furthermore in remembered that in pob, i always apply damage to "shaper". But in delve it's not. You are always facing trash monsters, and when you check "no" on ennemy is a boss, lighting pen is dropping in rank, and hypotermia gives a big bonus due to the constant freeze/chill effect.

I think i will stick with this setup until i reach 1K. (might switch to a corruption glove with ele weakness on glove since the temp chain is not doing much with the freeze)

Ah - I mentioned Call of the Brotherhood early on but people told me it doesn't work. Guess I should not listen to people who barely do red Maps most of the time. ^^'

I think I also mentioned that LightningPen ought to be switched if you want freezes, yeah... actually lemme look up my post history for a moment.

Here it is:

Thanks for the Feedback.

As for corpses: You could run a Call of the Brotherhood. (converts 40% of our Lightning Damage to Cold) and a Herald of Ice instead of Thunder. That way you should shatter almost all white mobs with ease.

Since Penetration is applied to the enemies you might want to take the lightning penetration gems out of the pens and replace them with a generic elemental support gem like controlled destruction, hypothermia or something along those lines - so you get the most out of your converted lightning damage.

Another Option would be to socket Knockback into your BallLightning + GMP setup. That way nothing will get close to you to explode at your feet.

Thanks for doing all that stuff though.

I start to feel like I really should have played this league. The information I get from people here is sooo unreliable. Some exceptions like you thankfully exist.

It's really encouraging seeing someone who knows what hes doing going for delve 1k. :)

Yeah, when the mobs are all frozen anyhow going for EleWeakness again just helps clearing. It's also fairly strong against White/Normal Mobs since they have no curse-effectivness reduction.

What's the LifeGain on Hit Support gem in the Frenzy for?

I think 'Increased Critical Strikes' might actually be better then Penetration/Hypothermia. That way our critchance goes over 90% -> and crits are Elemental Ailments. Meaning it also freezes a lot better. (also its blue - so no recolour required)

hmm whgen i add increased effect of shock to my vertex .. it doesnt change my dps .. dont get why because enemys are always shocked hmm

You don't understand how shock works, thats all. :) Increased Effect of Shock is useless for us since we hit hard enough to get max shock on everything anyhow. (or close enough to max shock it makes practically no difference)

You have more then 30% life reserved - waisting a crapton of damage. Just put your Herald of Thunder in your headslot and the purity down into the hands till you can afford the upkeep.

Am I missing something wouldn't there always be more than 30% life reserved with Wrath and Discipline ??

ohh thanks but i play ele bf before and there they said we should reach at least 110% inc shock. ill try to get an aditional arc chain vertex i guess

Elementalist is a huge trashcan of an Ascendency. (comparativly - not in general)

You don't need any increased effectivness of shock when you hit hard enough. The Elementalist version of this build hits like a wet noodle - at least compared to this here - and it needs all the help it can get. For them its a good way to boost their damage.

We have no need for that. You can keep it as long as your gear is still developing- but the more damage you deal the less important it becomes.

Sat down real quick and here is what my delving setup would probs look like:

"

https://pastebin.com/Z5UQGZMQ

3 Purities (80/80/82), Call of the Brotherhood, 92%Chance to Freeze, almost 3Mio Arc DPS and over 7k ES. I also got this Poet's Pen here: which has the Proliferation corruption to spread the Freeze. Should be fairly save.

Anyhow! I am off to bed o/

No, you are not missing something.

Put we dont put Wrath on a Bloodmagic but Purity of Elements.

I think he meant unreserved aka not beeing on low life?
But shouldnt you be on under 30% unreserved with discipline and purity?
