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

I'm struggling on using arctic armor. When I use arctic armor, my mana goes down to like 250 (which is similar to the mana in the videos), but I'm struggling to play through with this. Whenever I misclick an icestorm (or game lags and I hit nothing with icestorm), I'm basically low on mana. Without arctic armor, I could just spam my icestorm everywhere and if it lags, I just hold down icestorm all around me and everything just dies as I leach back up life.

Anybody else struggle with the playstyle with arctic armor and have advice for me?

Are you using enlighten (reduced mana reserve)? Is it a high enough level? You could also try putting your Enlighten + Discipline + Blasphemy + Warlord's Mark in your helm to give it a +1. Personally I have a level 2 enlighten but it's still not enough and I feel the same issue as you with no being able to cast sometime so.
I'm basically in the same boat as you. I have level 2 enlighten in helm. My concern is that even with level 3 enlighten, my mana is too low.

Do you guys hold down right click to cast ice storm or just click individual times. Maybe my play mechanics is not correct here.

Warlord's mark leeches mana. As long as you are damaging at least 1 enemy, you will have enough mana.
It just doesn't feel that way though. I can feel the difference in how often I'm casting whispering ice and leapslam. I'll try it again when I get a higher level enlighten. Right now, with enlighten and arctic armor, I only has 1 more mana than the cost of my whispering ice.
i run cwc scorching ray with 47 unreserved mana
Awww yiss! Race rewards are unlocked! Been holding on to this for a while:



Too bad it doesn't have 3D art :(

Here's the rest of my gear I'm currently using:

I think I should be able to take on Shaper soon.
Hi,

Loving this build.. about to move onto the shaper, but I have never Done the fight, so probably being overly safe.

Just as a thought, below is my gear, what piece Do you think I should get an upgrade for. (currently looking for boots, so outside of that)

Hey I noticed that you went with CWC instead. How'd you like CWC vs what's in this build?

I like it better, the problem I always had with the standard Build was only ever haD enough mana to cast 1 or 2 icestorms, then had to wait for leach to cast more. with CWC I get icestorm stacks very quickly, and can put them everywhere.

Also I feel cwc allows for more mobility Due to not having to wait for echo animations.

Single target Damage seems (to me at least) almost the same either way.
