hey there kelvynn i have a question in regards to belts out of auxium and the crystal belt with int roll what would you suggest using kinda sick of being frozen/slowed majorly and have a int crystal waiting would you say just deal with it and make sure i keep a anti freeze flask on me ?

That's why Auxium was the best until this league. Getting chilled and frozen is annoying. But Int Crystal belt is worth carrying an anti-freeze flask.

FINALLY, Shaper down!

Feels gooood, man. And I wouldn't have been able to do it w/ my old firestorm build, so TY for this awesome build!

Also, I'm wondering what kind of stats I need for uber Atziri? I'm currently sitting on 10.5k ES, 10k Icestorm DPS (tooltip), and 1677 INT, with fire res: 156%, cold: 141%, and lightning: 116%. Should I be able to take her?

You're good for uber I did it solo without any where near stats as yours..

Thanks, I'll likely try it soon then.

Also, I noticed there is no boss guide up for Vaal Temple. Is there a certain strategy, recommended loadout, etc.? Or do you just facetank?

Unwavering Stance node (cannot be stunned) takes so many skill points in the build. How about using Eye of Chayula instead? Thanks.

U need around 11-13 node to take unwavering stance, but u can convert almost all of it to int. So u can have around 150 int for this unwavering. And save amulet slot for astrametis. If u use eye of chayula u save 12 node. But u lose around 300 int. U can see what better.

Brute Force Solutions transforms almost all of those nodes into Int, which Whispering Ice turns into base damage and spell damage. All that Int also gives more energy shield. So getting Unwavering Stance is not actually horribly inefficient in this build, since most of those points are effectively ES and damage nodes.

good news everyone essences are staying in game so well have that option now to always be able to get a es int belt now can i get a hells yea :)

Vaal Temple used to be very easy when it was T14, until 2.4. It's featured in the 2.2 Scion double boss rampage video, with Vulnerability too. It was pretty much the same as the regular Atziri Trio and could be easily roflstomped by this build with any mods (except Blood Magic and Leech immunity).

In 2.4 it got moved to T16 and damage upgraded to the Uber Trio level. And since VT is always corrupted it can get real nasty with mods now. I did two twinned VT's for my Templar's endgame grind achievement in the Essence League, but they were not deathless. Facetanking Uber Trio with mods is not a very good idea! :) I ended up dying to the last 1-2 bosses that powered up, then kiting and dodging them for the win.

I haven't done the new VT enough times to include it in the Boss Guide, and since the mods are always random I don't really know what to write about it. It should be safe to do it the same way as Uber Trio which is in the guide. Except the area is dark and it's hard to see where the archer is.

See Q&A.

Unw stance version is better than any other, I would also point out that Auxium gives more int with perandus signets, so if you dont need res its better than rare with int imo.
