[3.25] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything

I see there is no mention of ES on hit for the Watcher's Eye, meaning we're tanky enough and don't need it? What about Simulacrum and 100% delirium maps, wouldn't ES on hit save our skin there?

Deaths come from stuff oneshotting you. No amount of es regen helps if you have no time to regen.
2 questions. For the body armor would it be more optimal to get either the additional curse and/or phys dmg taken as chaos prefixes? The former would allow whispers of doom to be changed out while retaining the 4 passive points on the tree for extra curse, while the latter is a nice dmg mitigation.

Also, are there any useful tattoos to incorporate into the build?

For the Body Armour, those are influenced mods and you'd lose the two eldritch implicits and the possibility of using a fractured base. Those are huge. Before we used the crit version, which enabled us to use the "crit damage for spells" implicit, we used the "%increased intelligence" influenced mod, which would probably be a better option than what you're suggesting. I guess you could craft a uber body armour, double-influenced with extra curse, %increased intelligence, two great defense prefixes, +int and an empty suffix for craft that would be better than eldritch implicits, but that would be a mirror-tier armour for a marginal benefit over a 3-4div body armour. It's not worth it.

As for tattoos, you could use the +4 attributes ones on strength/dexterity nodes. The problem is that they usually replace an attribute node, which, on a int-stacker build, is not great.

Hi, I'm new to the build, though not so much to PoE. I'm stumped, though, as to what I got wrong here. I'm sure someone, in 275 pages, has experienced this, but I haven't been able to find that.

I've gotten to lvl 61, just through the Causeway, but i die from masses of chaos damage. It's my fault; I should have (and will) taken Chaos Inoculation. But with only 1k life and 1k es, Chaos Inoculation often leaves me dead even faster :)

What's the secret to 2500 ES that I missed?

Here's a PoB code, if that makes looking at things easier:

There's a lot of things wrong, but here's the main ones:
- Use Discipline (That's most of the ES you're missing)
- Do your Labs (You should have 2 labs done by now which is a TON of survivability you're missing)
- Use the pre-Split Personality skill tree. There's no point in spreading yourself thin like that until you're much higher level.
Thanks. working on it now. I do appreciate the answer :)

what about this guy?

anathema e revelation mode
is there any good implicit on helmet?
Sitting at 99 with most of the build-out listed here as complete.

Looking for some help determining where to go from here. I got a very lucky drop from ToTa that netted me about 60 divine and I'm trying to figure out where to maximize my investment in order to scale up my int/dmg/es.

Should I be going for ambush and assassinate? I'll lose some int from some slotted jewels and I have one more jewel slot that I dropped until 100.

I could upgrade my watcher's eye as well to clarity/hatred of some kind.

First time I've had this much currency/played this hard.

Thanks!
