Hi, I'm at the point where upgrades cost multiple exalts, so I was wondering if someone can look at my character and see what I should upgrade first. I have about 5-6 ex. I'm level 92 with 9.8 ES and 1500 int. Starting tier 14 and 15 maps now, haven't had major issues so far. Thank you!

- You decided to trade 54 Int for 32% inc ES on the tree. Trading damage+ES for pure ES is not a good idea. You don't gain enough ES to justify losing that much damage. Also, for the same 4 points you could get Unnatural Calm + 10 Int, that's a better option even if you really want that ES.

- 600 ES 29 Int regalia needs replacing. That would be a good place to invest several exalts. Craft a better one with %Int, or try to catch one on the market.

- Gloves with 40 Int and no resists? That's really not worth it even if they have 180 ES. Gloves should provide a lot of resists. And they are not even expensive. Find better gloves, maybe with less ES but 2 resist mods (or 1 free suffix for crafting).

- You are using rings with resists and crafted 30 Int. Rings should have 50+ Int and the resists you need (including crafted resists). Can easily find for cheap, just search for the resist you need and 50 Int. ES on rings is optional.

- Use a Quicksilver flask with high movespeed.

Overall I think your Int is much lower than it should be.

Finally, something good dropped for me in this league, with this build that totally doesn't work ;)

Time to buy some %Int corrupted items :)
Yeah...only buy, cause me 10-15+ cyclopean belt corrupted and no +% int -(

Noob question incoming as this is my 1st CI character Ive done. I am not there yet but when I hi 69-70 , and after respeccing, I basically switch my gear over to Int, ES, And resistances (plus whatever mods) and no need to worry about Max Life or anything else? Is that the jist of it or am I missing something major ? Thanks!!

Yes. At lv 69 you can wear the top ES bases, that's why it's the optimal level to switch. You respec all life (plus spell damage nodes taken early) into the ES and Int stuff, like the Leveling Guide says. From there on, all you care about is Int and ES, and just keep your resists maxed. Int is the foundation of this build.



Thank you brotha for the confirmation. Sounds like a fun was to play...loving this build so far, more than most Ive played.

Astramentis: Has this been changed since this build first came out? I have searched poe trade and can't come up with any that have plus Int. Is it worth having still or is it possible to roll it with INT? Confused on this one, thx!

i'm still leveling, lv 50 atm, and i wonder how we get endurance charges for immortal call with CWDT?
Quick question for y'all:

POB shows Spell Cascade not working with Icestorm. Is this just a POB bug? DOes anyone know?

IC doesn't require endurance charges to work; the charges just make it last longer. In this build, it's there to break the Blood Rage DOT, in order to proc Arakaali, or if you're using Vortex, just for a tiny bit of extra safety.

It definitely works. There was a bug during the first weeks of the league which disabled spell cascade when cast while channelling is socketed, but this bug was fixed in 3.6.2
Finally corruption successful

but its dex not str %, so dex now higher...
question is 50 int worth loosing ignite imm? no free points to get some str nodes
