❄️ [3.15] Cold Explosion Storm Brand Assassin ❄️ Inpulsa's ❄️ Badge of the Brotherhood ❄️
Shameful Plug

Intro
Spoiler
Hey everyone! I wanted to play a build that was fast with explosions. This build definitely fits that mold. This build can be played at no budget and work up to this high budget variant. There are more improvements I can make to this build, so I will mention them in the gear section. There are a few variants of storm brand that I went through, and this Inpulsa's variants was the most fun. I went with a smooth playstyle over maximizing DPS. If you want to get a bit more DPS out of the build there are a few tweaks you can make that I will go over later. I hope you guys enjoy. Changelog
Spoiler
3.15 League of Nerfs! - Pretty much all support gems were nerfed across the board, so keep that in mind. I'm not gonna name them all, because none were game breaking though it is going to be a damage loss (welcome to 3.15). 3.14 New build! Videos

where are your resistances coming from?
|
|
" Rings (implicits), belt, boots, helm, and jewels (a lot from jewels) |
|
Love the build im level 76 pretty much all the gear you have how to push this to max?
|
|
" As long as the cluster jewels are the same as mine or similar, then you are gonna be OP :D |
|
There is no cinderswallow with all three of those mods. What should I do?
|
|
isnt SB "dead" this league? i mean, with the same/less invest you can get another build way better?
|
|
This build isn't updated in any way and it doesn't work like this anymore without 3x the investiment...
|
|
Hey man! i'm really looking forward to play your build now on Scource , 3.16 , will you update it? seems fun af. Thanks on advance!
