[2.6] The Curse Whisperer - Tri-Curse CI Whispering Ice Elementalist - Viable for Everything

You will need it, with out question.

Invested 1-2c for the trinkets, rings,helm,shav boots.

Invested 14c for 6-sock WI.

best 15c ever.

after i reached 33. i facerolled everything.

great guide,great build.. 10/10 would face roll again.

THANK YOU KELVYNN.

ps. will be getting Astramentis Onyx Amulet soon. the price plummeted from 40c to 60c because of the demand.

ATM, using an amulet with dex-int-str,ES to compensate for the stat lost.

I wish I could get a vaal'd Astramentis with 1 additional curse, freeing up the ringslot, already tried on 3 Astramentis now #neverlucky

It's interesting to note that both this build and the one with CWC scorching ray says they'll do better than the other at higher levels.

I'm not sure who's right, tankier, faster?

Anyone who's played...both?

its not necessary to ask someone who played both builds. kelv's take on the build has tons of videos of him facerolling highend content to back up his claims. until we see something remotely comparable with cwc, I for my part will assume that selfcast is stronger.

all I saw from the other guy so far were vids of a 5 minute bazaar run, lol.

Tul kill with Scorching Ray

I don't think it will be better than a self cast Ice storm, well in maps even t15 it can do better but not on guardians or shaper

Um, is this weapon worth any more than a usual 18 int 11 castspeed because of its anti-ocd 0 links?


edit: also i'm planning to run this build, but am down to my last 20 or so Chaos before anything else sells. is there any way to fix my res for merciless before resorting to purity of elements?

I'd have to downgrade ~100es on the body to be able to afford a decent 2 res one. :/

Yes. Don't use Auxium. You'll never cap res using that belt without GG gear.

Use Auxium and from 70 farm to 79 ASAP so you can use a Crystal Belt. For 20 chaos on Standard and around 25 on Breach (softcore), you can get Int+ES+Res on your belt, which means less resistances needed for everything else.

And i'm not sure, but I think that 500 ES with good resists is better than 600 ES with bad resists. I might be wrong tho.

Edit: To make it clear, you buy the cheapest Crystal Belt you find on poe.trade, purchase essence of spite till you get at least a Shrieking one (buy one directly or buy lower tiers and upgrade, i'm not sure of the prices so you should do the math to see which one is cheaper), scour the belt (if it's magic or rare, i'm not sure if you need to scour it if it's rare though) and use an essence on it. With a little luck you will get even a little bit of resistances, which is still better than Auxium (you also have ES and Int). If you don't get any res, scour and essence it again (you would need another one though, so the price can go up easily).

Yeah I was also concerned about this. Icestorm probably cannot shock bosses at all as the hits are too small to apply shock.

have any1 tested this? would be really helpful information to know
