[3.5] Winter Orb CwC Ice Spear | MoM | Elementalist | Leaguestarter

if I can only get a five link right now what should the priority be for the links? is it just what the gems section of the guide shows?

(Winter Orb - Cast While Channeling - Ice Spear - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Hypothermia - Controlled Destruction)

or should I do something else like put in controlled destruction instead of hypothermia?

I would prioritize Hypothermia over Controlled Destruction yes. Or Power Charge on Critical if you don't have it on your staff.

Note: You can swap Mastermind of Discord for Paragon of Calamity if you just want reflect immunity and some extra leech while working on atlas progression. Later on Paragon is a really juicy damage buff though, so I'd recommend swapping to it, at least for bossing.

Is there an error on second part of this sentence. Do you really mean Mastermind of Discord is a juicy damage buff. Or did I misread into the way its written. Because you made it seem like Paragon is just for reflect immunity and leech.

Thanks alot, glad you enjoy it!

Hi Xeno, hey all,
First of all, I wanted to say thank you for your build. I don't have much time to play since the league started but I've been enjoying playing this a lot.

I am just getting to T10s using divinarius and a random life / dmg es shield and haven't had any troubles yet as everything shatters into pieces.

I just 6 linked this thing and hit a ~pretty decent~ roll after a couple dozen chaos.



With open prefix and suffix, I am now wondering what I should craft :
- flat cold to spells (P)
- Cast speed (S)
- Crit chance to spell (S)
- Crit multi (S)

What do you guys think ?

Cheers

Loving this build bro. This is really amazing. I just run and use Winter Orb and all monsters are obliterated in eternal freeze. Really an awesome ice build.

I wish I could use Winter Orb while my chara is running. That would be so cool. :D

Is it worth to keep crafting this?



If the answer is yes, what should I do now? (I'm a n00b at crafting)

Sorry for making this stupid question is that I didn't really understand that part. you recommended using Controlled Destruction that reduce 100% critical strike chance but in skill tree you got Doom Cast that increases critical strike. I didn't really understand that part. pls can you explain to me the point of that??
