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

Ok, update on gears and level...

level 86

1987 int 9.8k es

my updated gears



Still 2 small areas to claim with tree points but so far, it seems great fun. I love cyclone builds and this also throws in the ice damage too so a win win

Tested it on T15 beachhead map, did it with ease

PS. The Divination flask i used as a safety measure plus its benefits are sweet

PPS changed divination to kiara flask to protect from frozen

Hey guys! I'm a pretty casual player, and I am struggling to take this build to the next level. I'm sitting at 1.9k int, but only 4.5k ES.
Can you guys help me on what I should upgrade next? I have about 2.5-3ex to spend, I'm probably looking for something wrong, but all the upgrades seem to be extremely more expensive than that




Edit: adding a bit more info since I feel like my post is too generic

I'm especially having a hard time on bosses, even on map bosses, metamorphs, archnemesis, etc. I feel like whenever I stop to self cast, either the boss already moved places when I finished my animation, or I've been hit by some of their spells, and then I'm dead

I think upgrading to a proper ES chest is probably the first step, 1-2ex should get you something decent, and boost your es to around 6-7k.

Short question. Any particular reason to have Icestorm on Mouse and not on Keyboard/ both on right click and wheel click ?

I do not understand why you put your equipment on, after all, anyone willing can see it in your tab. How is this supposed to help others?

Quite easy, it helps others visually. Some people don't know how to search accounts etc. Also, some peoples accounts are set to private

Perhaps you understand now?

I personaly prefer when the gear is linked. Its faster just to look at the post and not search in the guy profile.

To guys asking what to upgrade next: when you have doubts just read the guide. There is everything you need, but if you still somhow cant figure out, then ask. For such obvious upgrade like from icetomb you can think yourself, really.

I've followed this build as close as possible but I can't get above about 6.3k of ES. What am I missing that will get me to 8k or more ES ? I assume more min-max gear, which might be beyond my currency reach. Here's my POB

Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated !

Sorry, I criticize too much sometimes.
I appreciate this build for the balance between defense and attack, especially for those who don't like losing portals.
The reinforced Uber lab- is nice.
Uber Atziri- to do.
End game bosses, including new ones - depend on tactics, not stressful.
Sirus- this is a very good training build, resistant to one shot.
Crystal King (270 depth) - failing to do so, still trying.
HOAG- I can't do it, unless I use a trick.
Blight-ravaged- impossible for me.
Uber Elder- self-cast is unplayable for me, but skating is a pleasure.
If I find out how to overcome boredom in leveling up to 100, I will use this build first.
Using the example of Kelvynn that he does everything himself, I made the equipment for a lower price than it is on the market, apart from amu, you can buy cheaper (I will also try out of curiosity). In the initial phase of the game, it is better to invest in things from the market. You can save money on randomness and crafting errors (for body armor I forgot to add a suffix and reduced the chances of the Crusader on% int, which of course he absolutely used) this league is very cheap to crafting for this build.
I still think that GGG should support the likes of Kelvynn who share their knowledge without which people like me simply wouldn't play.[/quote]

I just checked your tree, and personally, i would replace one of your brute force jewel for, as and when you can afford it ofc, am emperor's wit jewel ( 6% increased int ). might actually give more int than brute strength

As for my build, looks like i need to work on cold damage

Just use whatever is more convenient for you.

I spend 99% of the time cycloning through maps, i.e. holding 1 mouse button. I can cast Frostblink and Vortex with keyboard, they are instant and don't interrupt Cyclone. Or I can just hold a drink in my other hand. This is virtually a 1-key auto-bomber build.

When I switch to the self-casting staff for the bosses, it's only natural to keep using the same button to do the damage.
