[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything
" Trickster Ascendancy buffs are quite strong, even after the nerf. You could also utilize some conversion mechanics for more damage. Shaper's Touch gloves + Trickster on this build is also insane for EV scaling. TLDR it's certainly viable, but would be a bit different in how you would build it I think. |

I haven't really looked into it, but we have huge int, so we should concentrate on ES scaling rather than EV.
|

" Massive Evasion is a byproduct of having huge int with Shaper's Touch. 2% Increased Evasion per 10 int is A LOT of %EV. With a Trickster, specifically, you'd use a Sadist Garb instead of a Regalia. If you have something with say 1500EV and 350ES (Same as a 600ES Reg) then you're scaling all that evasion without any really effort or investment. Shaper's touch also gives 2% increased ES% per 10 strength, so it's worth a good amount of ES as well. That said, it's not as much ES as a good pair of rare gloves and it lacks the actual INT stat, but for Trickster, specifically, I would use it to boost recovery mechanics (Ghost Shroud recovery based on 5% of Evasion) and adding Evasion as an extra defensive layer. On a side note, I am curious how much damage an Eternity Shroud based Trickster could get to. A Spacey staff would look sweet :D
Update for me:
I am thoroughly enjoying the CWC Cyclone ChampFinder version that I'm running. 7.6k ES 1539 int 9k AVG Hit with Spell Cascade 17.6k with Conc Effect I dropped Ethereal Feast cluster after I got my ES on hit Watcher's Eye. It just felt unnecessary. Next up is to multimod this for roughly 28% more dps! Last edited by Gryphenprey on Jun 12, 2019, 2:39:45 PM

And yeah... ocult vs elem +- same or ocult better surv/dps?

Something like should definitely be considered. It's a huge upgrade over Astramentis (uncorrupted) and is much easier to get the bit of Str/Dex you need as a Scion than as a Witch.

I dislike the lab as much as the next man, but I don't think it's wise to skip it. The ascendancy tree is just too powerful.

" The power just manages to exceed the annoyance. I'm getting frozen often enough now I suppose I should get Inquisitor. Kelvynn needs to return and see what Cyclone has done to his build! | |
" I love Cyclone but Inquisitor is becoming less and less appealing because its not always you stay on Concecrated Ground, i mean, you could pop potion and spin in place while opening chest i guess, idk. |
|
" Nice find, I got 2 days ago one for myself that is more powerful than a corrupted 6% intelligence implicit Astramentis. Only had to grab a 30 Dex node to fulfill Str and Dex requirements. I used this type of Talisman also in Synthesis league. If you find a decent one for a decent price you should grab it Last edited by lilianmarius on Jun 13, 2019, 6:30:40 AM

" Cyclone may be better for clearing and a cooler "meta" choice also, but in the end when you'll have to face Uber Elder or Aul for example I think it will fail hard compared to Winter Orb option. In UE fight if you get frozen by Shaper Barrage balls and don't have the flask charges to un-freeze yourself fast you may consider yourself dead :). Same for Aul fight.
