It says to switch to CI by 58 or at least early maps and honestly I die so fast because ES is low like around 2.8k.

The only real defense you have beforehand is chill and freeze.
I'm having a hard time clearing yellow maps because I deal very little damage to bosses and I die if my character so much as trips.

Is the build even viable if you don't have a mapping character to farm currency to supply this?


once you setup all block points and anoint steelwood stance, cap 75 all resist, your life will be much easer... you can use int/def split personality too

if this is broken just search non-unique chest, with minimum 30-40 int and 550 energy shield, it is easy to 5 link it by urself

i found the best way for a half decent chest piece is to buy a cheap random shaper iLVL 85 vaal regalia them spam deafening essences of spite til you hit % increased int with the flat int, then craft from there

That's how i did mine ( this is my new one )



Also, changed helm and gloves around ( slammed life instead of mana but ah well )

Why should Vortex be kept at level 1?

Also, if anyone knows how to search a specific thread, please do let me know.

Thank you!

Vortex deals next to no damage compared to Icestorm, so higher level only makes it cost more mana.

true, but i have 3.5k mana ( 2.9k reserved ) so i can go up to lvl 21 as i have enough unreserved mana
lvl 1 vortex = 995 average damage
lvl 21 = 33.991.5 average

Every little helps

build is now complete ( got VERY lucky with a tailoring orb )
