Should've mentioned it in the post proper. same story. I was actually playing WI as berserker last league and the one before that. I am among the very first to suggest going berserker with this build. ;) and thats where I first learned about that leech bug. berserker's ascendancy leech on its own can fail you, made me rip to twinned excavation bosses on a high level. apart from this extremely annoying, but also very rare leech bug, berserker is a rather bad bosskiller. against bosses, you will only have 1% permanent leech from the ascendancy, plus 0.8% from warlords mark. that is substantially less than the 2.8% we get on all other variations of this builds that use life leech support. the additional damage taken also hurts particularly in those tough bossfights.

What's your guys tooltip on icestorm, buffed (no flask) and unbuffed ? For those interrested i made few changes to the tree to take better advantages of SR (do not change equipment required, about the same int) : Removed AoE dmg Removed AoE Area ( according to poewiki it's not good for icestorm idk about that) Added 10% Curse effect Added heart of flame Lvl 91 : https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAMCAAPuBAcNfA5IEFgRLRFQEZYYahkuGmwc3B1PHb4fAiftKPopTyo4Ko0snCy_LR8zhzW5NsU22DwtQYdFR0ZxRwZJG0yzUXRWSFcNV8lYB13yX2pfsGZUaGVsCG0Zb554L3zlf8aCm4LHgwmDX4PMg_eExYV7h2WOvo7pjxqPRo_6ksGVIJuhm7Wdrp7Nn8uhL6KjppmnCKcrpzCsmK-btAy1BLc-uJO-isBmwcXB88M6xBXE9sauykrK09Af0NDSIdWm2CTZYdvn37DkIuq66-7sGOw47FXv6_Fs8Yrzm_fX-eg= Then level 92-100 i'll take infused shield, celestial judgement, celestial punishment replaced enfeeble with flammability Last edited by djellabah#6697 on Dec 12, 2016, 9:17:09 AM	Posted by djellabah#6697 on Dec 12, 2016, 9:15:08 AM Banned Quote this Post
Should I wait for Enlighten lvl2 (3 with helmet) to use discipline+warlord+arctic armour? Right now I have 1664 mana with 1531 reserved, so I have enough for just one cast of icestorm. I guess I get it back with WM, but I think its still too little.	Posted by Levirael#2580 on Dec 12, 2016, 10:13:35 AM Quote this Post

If you're having problems with casting I'd suggest takingoff arctic armour til your gem is lvl 3. (Or use %reduced mana cost talents/jewels instead?)

I guess I get it back with WM, but I think its still too little. imho playing only feels smooth if we have enough mana to cast two icestorms in a row. the easiest solution is probably to take the 4% reduced reservation node below CI until your enlighten gets to the required level.

What about the Amulet "Eye of Chayula", istnt it better to use that and save all the skillpoints to Unwavering Stance?	Posted by Noctis_Tim#2752 on Dec 12, 2016, 12:26:22 PM Quote this Post

You have no dex on tree (fertile mind conversion) and no str (brute force conversion). Need 555str for the staff, str for fire pen, life leech, cwdt, ic, flame golem, dex for temp chains - 3 points aint worth it (assume that you still lack on res with that much uniques, so you won't skip diamond skin).
