[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything
" Couldn't we get more damage with Icestorm and Winter Orb by socketing Bonechill here as well? |
|
" I've been starting the last 3 leagues with it. It's not expensive at all after the first few hours. Astramentis is the hardest thing to get early on, but I typically have 20-30c to buy it on the second day of the league. A random 50 Int amulet or Carnage Heart is fine for leveling. | |

Thanks Kelvynn you rock!
Is there a POB thing I'm missing here, or non added yet? cant wait, looks so fun, 7506 people in queue ahead of me but I'm coming for them. Haven't played WI in almost a year so Im pumped to do it as cold, and the new defenses of Occultist sounds amazing. Thanks again for stringing this together so damned quickly. you rule Kelvynn! IGN

I was actually thinking about linking bonechill with Arctic Armor. On one hand the extra reservation would be kind of annoying, on the other hand anyone who hits you gets a massive 30% chill and giant debuff. Should also work with the ground ice.
With our tree anything that hits you should be 30% chilled for .75 seconds, and take 30% more damage. Anything in our Arctic armor ground ice takes 16% more damage. Could be worth the reservation, I'll have to play with it. Last edited by Breken on Dec 7, 2018, 1:30:28 PM

" It's 1 skill point. Build complete at lv 92 instead of 93. | |
" Well, i think that bonechill works only for duration of chill. So even if all chills still remain on target without overwriting, it will be only 2 seconds debuff (especially considering that application of that debuff will be about 5 sec after the cast), so not good enough to even try. In that case, cold snap that somebody suggested is quite a good choice, cause it have lingering area effect for 5 sec (with our duration nodes even more). But only if chills not overwriting each other. In case if only the fact that "enemy was chilled some time ago" and debuff persist even after chill is gone, then it's good enough even on ice bomb. |
|
" Nope. Most that we can get from bonechill is 30%. And that in absolutely best case if we apply capped chill (which i'm not sure we can, cause multiple small hits). Our other support gems more on the line like 50% more damage, almost twice as effective. |

" Can leave VP for later if you don't have the staff by lv 39. But I find it very useful against bosses during leveling. I would totally not go for Vile Bastion early. Frigid Wake should absolutely own. I am sooooo looking forward to freezing Kitava! :) This build is too OP for the pre-map content anyway, you can level in many ways. I used to even go CI at lv 33 back in the day. But Life is much easier because of flasks. | |
" Can always swap WO for Storm Burst just for Atziri. Doesn't really matter which skill you use for channelling. Uber Atziri is not a hard target for this build either way. | |
" The cold version gets Herald of Ice explosions :) |
