Pros
Spoiler
Very fun jumping in middle of pack and destroying whole screen - true battle mage
Can do all map mods with -pick any and I'll run it - save money on map rolling
Very fast clearing
Reasonably cheap 5L just fine - about 6-8ex starting
Decent defenses and EHP - over 50% physical damage mitgation and over 5500 life
Reflect immune!

Cons
Spoiler
Cant do uber or core most likely. I died once to uber vaals and 5x to uber atziri...99.9% of self caster cant..it is what it is. Until its fixed go check out my toon Dis_Bitch_Crazy for the best CoC discharger if you want uber..my friend matrixfactor designed it with little help from me

Cost
Spoiler
Like 6ex starting to 60ex for GG support gear and 6L (or CI version)
Essential Gear is
-pyre ring to convert all cold to fire - 1c
-two consuming dark daggers to convert all fire to chaos - 1ex ea
-Lightning coil chest for physical mitigation 5L is just fine vs 6L 110K vs 140K DPS - 3ex 5L to 20ex 6L



DPS, no flask buffs and GEMS NOT EVEN LEVELED
Spoiler


Single target
Swap Ice nova for


DPS no flasks


Defense
Spoiler

Keep in mind you are wearing a lightning coil so thats 30% flat mitigation for legacy and 22.5% for current
You have 4 endurance changes up all the time...another 16%
You have basalt or legacy taste of hate another 20% or 22.5% respectively (do not use new taste of hate its worse than basalt)

Phys dam is a complete joke for this build. You see i take direct hits from trio and laugh it off.

Where I died to uber was atziri her self. I'm not good enough to dodge her attacks and all kill me. storm calls or FB.


defense with face breaker


defense with EHP glove



Gear
Spoiler

-All rares should have tier 1 or 2 life and a double life belt to maintain >5K life.\
-Rares should have mana too or craft it.
-Need mana regen on ammy and ring for when curse immune maps come up and your regen and Clarity lets you still spam.
-Ideally you want high armor helmet, boots and gloves. But hybrid armor/ES is nice for coloring

Perfect rares would be

Ammy
Implict dex + str
Life
Mana regen
Mana
Armor %
Crit multi
Cast speed

Ring
Implict life
Dex t1
Life
Lightning res or cast cpeed if you have enough lightning res
Mana regen
Mana
Craft armor %

Armor Boots
life
Str
Lightning res
Cold res
Move speed 30
Craft mana

Armor Helm
Life
STR
Lightning res
Fire res
Armor %
Craft mana

Armor Gloves
Life
STR
Lightning res
Cold res
Armor %
Craft mana

Belt
Implicit life
Life
Armor
Lightning res
fire res
Chaos res

My STD gear



Until high level you use EHP gloves like this to try and stay around 5K life

I'm like 5576 life with those gloves so I feel safe enough to ditch them for DPS facebreakers. But I'm 95.


My league gear currently




Flasks
Spoiler

Basic flasks for survival.

1. You want all Perpetual mod unless playing standard then use legacy surgeons.

2. I like one movement speed flask with anti freeze
one life flask with anti bleed "staunching"
one physical mitigation flask - taste of hate or basalt with % armor
one topaz flask with shock removal "grounding"
one fire flask with bleed removal "staunching"

3. I have not covered unique flasks like Zerphi's Last Breath, Atziri's Promise, The Writhing Jar, etc all have utility though. check em out


Gems
Spoiler
Double Curse
Option in 4L is you want to run Herald of Ice too


5L Lightning coil chest


6L - controlled destruction, or cold to fire, or add empower

Best color is 5B1G to use controlled destruction instead of empower but I dont recommend it due to cost....can still maintain 95% CC with Controlled Destruction and its more DPS than empower. (sheet will say ~87% crit at full PC but add Assassins Mark aura/curse puts it well over 95% cap) ...about 10K more DPS than level 3 empower

CWDT setup


Lightning warp setup


Flame golum and optional Herald of ice



Some vaal gems


for fat health boss swap gem

Leveling

First you want to make the long runs and chase down all the life along the way. Just use ice nova and flame totem in two lifesprig wands at start and its easy pz leveling. Last take up crit nodes...


How I rock a 3L until end game even 9-14 maps for super cheap no 6l and one shot bosses

Note this is not the chaos nova spec but just fire nova for now and you are not reflect immune but its cheap as hell to make cash for your 6L chest and darks.

Take Vaal Pact when you decide to one shot bosses with Vaal Righteous Fire



Bandits
Spoiler

A2N point or life
A2C point or cast speed
A2M Power charge

I like taking points in normal and cruel because two points for another Jewel slot beats the hell out of 40 life and 5% cast speed with a GG 4 prop jewel


Jewels
Spoiler
cast sp, life, crit multi, spell dam, area dam all nice. We do not need crit chance. We are way over 95% cap usually with assasuins mark.


DPS Izaro's Turmoil's is the way to go! Up to 50% spell damage each jewel.


Ideal Jewel setup is 1 Intuitive leap and 5 x Izaro's Turmoils if you have your life and resits covered with gear.




How to play
Spoiler
whirl blade into packs or lightning warp in center of packs (best to pop flasks on hard monster) applying shock stack, and kill everything with chaos nova.


FAQ
Spoiler

1. I can't get a lightning coil. too expensive and really too expensive to 4B?
-Using tabula Rasa is fine till mid maps.

2. What about CI/LL?

-Can also go CI but need a 800+ ES chest and other high end CI gear with fat ES to make 9-10K ES to absorb damage. This cost more than lightning coil option.

I don't recommend Low Life because you are wielding two daggers and shavs is not enough EHP without a shield.

3. Why do you use lightning warp and not fortify?

Shock status effect on boss and I like its distance, jumping over chasms and ability to get right in the middle of packs. You're essentially a human bomb and its best to get right in middle of crowd. Lightning warp does it best.

You could certainly use a fortify whirl blades setup for super tanky but I find mitigation enough with 4 endurance charges and lightning coil and flask use.

4. can it do uber.. with sublime play. Not easy by any means for a self caster and I recommend trapper, discharge, or Blade Vortex lawn mower.

5. HC viable? Seems so see page 6. Use fortify setup to get into packs instead of lightning warp. Use life jewels for over 210% life.


NEW! Low Life, Standard only
Spoiler
Same DPS as dual dagger life spec above but you have a shield about 10K ES but maybe a little more vulnerable to reflect. Must have 75% dagger and slot life leech gem on ele reflect maps instead of C2F. Reason I went Low life is vaal RF to hit even harder since it's based on total EHP.

That feeling when you made a 6L Judgement and a 5L Carcass for the Templar build and it gets turned into a completely different Shadow build :|

Well, what about a templar. If we dont go ref maps is it still viable/playable or is it not worth. Also could you recommend any builds that use Judgement Staff as base?

Templar is great just reflect you have to be on point with flask use and use life leech gem since its all cold

I see. I dont know if you want to, but is it possible that you might finish that build aswell? If not ofcourse I wont be offended because it's your time, however I believe that I and many others aswell want to try that one out.

I plan on finishing that guide been updating all my others plus playing in ladder plus working plus little kid at home etc.

Of course I'm not saying like you have to ! or now ! just wanted to know whether you'd do it. Glad to hear you will and appreciate it :) Have a nice day !
Hey Aim_deep, I'm loving your ice nova builds !! this assassin one looks amazin, but i'll stick with templar for now, to make some currency :-) thanks and cyaa

btw, wouldn't you lose a lot of defense potencial w/o arctic armour? maybe that's why you'd put the vaal skeletons in?

_:D /
AA is certainly an option instead of Herald of Ice. However I don't feel it's needed wearing a lightning coil.

Lightning coil is 30% (legacy) or 22.5% physical mitigation while AA is 13% and conditional, standing still.

Templar is a better build overall and could wear lightning coil as well be he needs two 6L and reflect issue still looms.
Git R Dun!
hey do you just use lightning warp out of personal preference? Or is there another reason to prefer it over Whirling Blades?
edit: ascensions are deadly infusion and ambush? will lvl 3 enlighten suffice for the additional herald?
