True, I believe in the marauder videos posted by OP during shaper he used purity of ice instead of warlords - I could be wrong, but I dont think I ever saw it go up on shaper.

I consider that one of the tougher fights, I can pretty much do anything else. You might be right, I'll experiment with an additional ring instead.

Keeping WM and replacing LL with another gem (CD) is actually better since CD is not affected by curse mitigation. But when I tried that on the Berserker it was simply less safe but not any faster.

The Berserker thread isn't that large yet, you can find all that discussed there.

Thanks Kelv, I'm definitely going to go with witch next league. I like to change builds around a lot near the end of leagues and I feel like witch has much more versatility.

I had a berserker already this league, so I gave it a whirl. I was able to do all the content fairly easily - so I think it's going to be a great league starter.

I was a little skeptical at first switching to CWC but i gotta tell you im glad i did. It seems more fun in a way and even though i do not notice a difference in damage really im able to run arctic armor now because i couldnt get a lvl 3 enlighten going with my current setup. And i don't know if anyone else had this problem but with all of the ice shards falling i would constantly lose my cursor in battles. At least the scorching ray gives me an idea of the direction my cursor is pointing now lol.

You're missing a lot of intelligence from your chest and belt, and a bit from your Astramentis (just divine it a couple of times) and 3% from your helm.

You can easily craft a good belt with shrieking spite in a few tries.

And you need to 4L (or 5L if you're lucky) your staff. Get an 18% too; they're cheap and you don't care about % casting speed.

Sell it for filthy lucre and buy or craft a 5L...

Finished collecting a couple items for my Whispering Ice that's on Standard that I played during Essence League. Can't wait to tryout this build with +1 Astramentis, get to use it with Signet when Breach ends! :D Sooo much ES/INT/Damage!



edit: will fix the enchant on the boots! :P

Your custom modifications are bad:

1. Perandus Signet without +1 Astra means you have only 2 curses. You can get by with 2 until T16, but then those exact 2 bosses are much harder. Especially the Shaper. Swap that Perandus for Doedre's Damning.

2. No Potency of Will?? Your Icestorms don't last long enough. Major loss of DPS. Get Potency of Will ASAP.

3. Melding?? And I assume the nearby jewel is Energy From Within? That's a major loss of Int for the sake of some ES. But this build's ES comes from Int, as does the DPS. Refund that ASAP and get Potency of Will and a real jewel (see Gear-Jewels).

You have 5 nodes wasted: Melding and a standalone Int node near Deep Wisdom. Take Potency of Will and the jewel socket near Scion (Fertile Mind). That costs 6 points. Either get 1 more level or refund Catalyse for now and get it back when you level.

You also need to run PoI for the Shaper and Hydra. Either get a 2nd Black Sun with BBGG sockets (Disc - Vaal Disc - AA - PoI) or take out Enhance to run PoI for those 2 bosses (and use the Purity setup described at the top of the Boss Guide). Remember to pop Orb of Storms near the boss.

@Kelvynn
For fun, you should try to tank double shaper's beam attack (clone and shaper himself) that would be absolutely bad ass.

Just like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Muhimc2BP3A

The amount of dedication, detail and work of this build (and all their versions) is simply awesome.

Thank you man!!
