[3.5] Suck's First Level 100 Winter Orb Elementalist Guide! (BSC) Uber Elder/Atziri

How do you ignite?

nvm im stupid, ascendancy xD

I've been casually running the build for about a month and have been loving it -- been playing PoE since early 2013 and was finally interested enough to stick around past 90.

Recently came into a good amount of currency and would like to upgrade but I'm unsure of where my money would be best spent. I'm currently between my sceptre, amulet, and scion-area jewel (everything else seemed to be a min-max type upgrade).


(Jewel is just a generic 50 life abyssal)

Using PoB I found upgrading the weapon will give an estimated 2K DPS boost, but saw little to nothing for upgrading to a Pandemonious or Green Nightmare (since I assume it can't calculate either properly). Assuming the sceptre is around the same price as the Green Nightmare and the Pandemonious is half that, which item would be the most efficient to upgrade?

gotta tick the box “enemy is chilled” for pandemonius
green nightmare can be good but phase run eats your frenzy charges

any tips on crafting the gloves with damage on chilled enemies?

Why empower 4? If i put concentred effect in your pob, i get more dps by hit.

Most of us have dropped empower and replaced it with added cold damage support.

Noob here

This is only like my 4th Character, I just started this one over the weekend, only lvl 54 so far.

I just wanted to say that while the early levels seemed a bit slower than my other builds, once I got to around lvl 40 it started to shine.

My gear is crap right now, but I mainly just keep the skill charged and wreck anything that shows up on screen.

Bosses take a bit longer, but as long as I avoid the mechanics of the fight, they just die eventually.

Build is a lot of fun so far. I actually think I am learning the fight mechanics more because I don't have to worry about direction of attacks or distance, I just keep Orb charged up and avoid the stuff trying to make me dead.

So, thanks for the build! and also thanks for all the people posting info, I am going to be much better prepared to gear myself up once I get into mapping because of all the great posts

I see more dps with concentrated effect/elemental focus than added cold damage support in my POB.

Edit: I'm dumb and noticed elemental focus would then remove ailments.

Getting a little confused here, what is the most optimal for bossing. A support gem or empower?
