[3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything

Maybe I am wrong but since conqs are not primary targets anymore, there will be different ways to craft our items and influ. items/conq orbs will cost 'much' more.
|
|
" You can target farm conquerors via maps no? and there are nodes on the tree for currency. |
|
" a) you need it to have empty suffix for the %int mod and have NO empty prefix to guarantee it adds suffix. -For some effects there are multiple mods that can give it, and the trade cannot always figure out which the item has. -The trade site shows for each item at the bottom of the item the armor/evasion/ES value (if the item has that stat, ES only armor shows only ES value). It Shows the base value at max quality, so if the item has quality less than 20% it shows what the base value would be with 20% quality and if it has more than 20% quality, it shows the base value at the quality the item has. It also shows Base percentile there. Every base has now variance how much the base defense values are, at 0% item has lowest possible score and at 100% highest possible score. b) It is all random. That's why good gear cost as much as it costs. If you want to try to craft your own from scratch, I would suggest using fossils. | |
" With fossil i had a good chance with chest. But helmet with fossils i never got the 10 % int and good other stats. tryed all ideas from the fossil craft side. Nothing works. Finaly only Helmet and amulet was worth crafting myself. as the good ones cost 10 ex and more. Chest i mostly bought or craft with rock. This league i had a lot of luck getting a buch of reroll prefixes in harvest. So i got the amulet with it what was the best i ever crafted. |
|
" I ment to fossil craft one with high ES and flat int and no influence and then use hunter's orb. | |

What skill are you guys gonna use for lvling until we get icestorm? Now when they buffed a lot of gems? ❄️🧊🧊
|
|
" Frost Bomb! Its base damage got buffed, and it also gets more from Added Lightning and Added Cold. Looks like a perfect spell for getting through Acts 1-3. Just walk forward and drop the bombs as you go. You don't need to kill every single mob. Whatever dies is enough to get the xp as you move. For the bosses, Icicle Mine, same as before. If you really dislike the miner style, pick whatever cold spell you like. It's only to get to lv 33 anyway. Dominus should be the last boss you kill with it. And at lv 33 you start self-casting Icestorm. |

Hey guys, a few questions before we hit this thing tomorrow.
First: What's everyone's final thoughts now that all the info has settled? Everyone still planning to stick with the build? If so, Scion or Witch? Second: I'm cool with switching to self-cast on bosses, but would we still be using concentrated effect? If so, do y'all think that will make it more difficult to keep storm on a decently mobile boss? Third: Some have brought up concerns of mana issues with self-cast. What's the final thought on that?

I can chain cast 6S icestorm with level 20 gems at 2330 int and 59 mana. I just noticed there does seem to be a cast speed limit though -- I'm not casting all that fast. Like I am casting about twice a second. This needs more investigation.
Scion's the way to go -- see Kelvynn's comments. Re concentrated effect, we'll just have to experiment. Last edited by Graiaule#7461 on Feb 3, 2022, 7:24:23 PM

Hello everyone!
Guys, do you consider using spell echo with a self-cast IS for bosses? Imo self-cast without any additional tricks looks pretty scuffed, coz we don't have enough cast speed. Imagine fighting an al hezmin for example D: Last edited by Wh1plash#3228 on Feb 4, 2022, 12:35:42 AM
