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

sry if this has been answered before, but under the jewel section of the guide it says " Int will increase Icestorm damage by almost the same amount as a damage mod, but it also increases ES".

But tooltip on whispering ice is 1% increase spell dmg per 10 Int. surely a 10% dmg mod is better than 10 Int (1% spell dmg), no?

need some insight on this
how much es do i need before i can safely do uber
i tried once on 4k es, he 1 shot me , i just tried again with 5k es and i think i can do it with some luck and if he actually leave the fight when i drop his hp dow and not just stay and kill me but anyway it was really scary and my hp dip to like 1k so is that it he does 4k dmg per attack ?

The icestorm skill damage itself scales off int.

5k should be fairly doable. change your curses to self cast so izaro starts the fight enfeebled and bring granite and basalt flasks.

so i just bricked 4 6S 18% staffs today, kinda sad.

before i waste more currency, what's a good vaal corruption for the staff or should i not corrupt at all?

edit: I was looking for either "Culling Strike" or "% Fire damage leeched as life" corruptions to get a potential 8L or are these not possible to get on this staff?
since we are converting, % fire leeched as life should work right?

you cannot get culling strike on a staff.

fire damage leeched is only 0.2% - not worth it.

Thank you, painful lesson learnt. :)

I haven't played in 1,5 years and I was wondering why doesn't the 6S staff need links ? Do all support gems in this staff affect the inherit level 1 Icestorm on the staff ?

Yes, because staff itself is a skill, so every gem inserted affect the WI. So far 77lvl, cant find any decent drops and neither I have Izaro Turmoil gem nor Astramentis, what should I change first? 5,6k ES with discipline. More to come, because I am checking poe.trade for 120+ es gloves.

cull is not possible on staffs, 0.2% fire damage leech is not worth it. the only corruption that might be better than the native 12% block is "supported by lvl 1 increased aoe". with aoe, you have a more comfortable coverage despite using conc effect in the staff; and/or you can remove amplify and blast radius since those nodes give us an average of 10% increased damage per passive point. so if we dont need those nodes for increased radius, we can skip them and take better damage alternatives.

How many chaos orbs I need for this build in standart?)
