You do pick up stun immunity eventually. Until then, you should cast icestorm from medium range, then walk close for the aura benefit. The author has this explained in his troubleshooting section.

Thanks. My bad, tl;dr. I'm going to read it all now :D

Just curious why Deep Wisdom is taken so early in the build. Wouldn't further damage or immunity to stun be better than extra duration while leveling?

the duration is essentially a MORE multiplier to our damage. so its very potent; dont underestimate it just because it isnt shown in the tooltip dps. stun is a nonissue during leveling, it's clearly an "endgame kind of thing".

loving the build, but good grief is getting all the red sockets hard

Coloring Black Sun Crest RRRG for CWDT - IC - golems is trivial. Coloring gloves or boots RRGB for Leap Slam - FA - Fortify - Orb takes about 150 chroms with Vorici 2R.

You don't need the optimal min-max setup early.

Agreed. And try Vorici 1R instead.

What gems did you run in it?

Golems (self cast) dont seem to work either :/

Edit: Doesn't look like it can work if you've taken CI

Any gem socketed in chest, will not work. Its alternative only for beginning of the league if you want to rush content.

Got it thanks :)

Is Astramentis kind of needed unless you can pick up big amounts of dex/str on your gear (and therefore miss out on other stats on that gear) to meet the gem requirements?

Might have to start saving now!

Astramentis, aside from fixing your stat requirement problems, gives you around 100 int - which gets multiplied by around 50% in the most optimal setup. If not it's usually around 35%. Anyway, it's a lot of int - only surpassed by a few rares, that of course don't have also 100 strength and dexterity.
