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

Hi everyone. Sorry for the stupid question.

The guide says that i should anoint my boots/amulet with Tranquility which gives "huge damage boost". In fact this skill gives me 5% increased maximum Energy Shield and Transfiguration of Soul (Increases and Reductions to Maximum Energy Shield also apply to Spell Damage at 30% of their value).
Is it a "huge damage boost"?
Thank you!
I am trying to use cyclone to proc whispering ice, but it doesn't proc. I know whispering staff doesn't require 6 link. What am I doing wrong?

How much unreserved mana you have? GGG changed triggered spells few leagues back so that they now spend mana, so if you don't have mana to pay the manacost for Icestorm, it will not proc.

Yep, because this build scales a ton of energy shield through various sources.

Main point here is that every 5int gives you 1% increased ES that tranquility translates to 0.3% increased spell damage/5int

So for example 2500int gives extra 150% increased spell damage.

If i'm right, you also need to make sure just cyclone and Cast When Channelling are both linked at least for it to work
My previous post was ignored. maybe it was too long.
Let me try with a short one now.

Original guide Gems section:
"Optional - Awakened Cast while Channelling Support lv 1".

Question: Is it the one for Mapping Staff or for Boss channeling Staff ( that we are not using now, because of Self Cast Staff) ?

You only use Cast while Channeling with the Cyclone/Mapping staff.
Original Guide still states
1) Channeling Staff for Mapping
2) Channeling Single Target Staff
3) Experimental Self Casting Staff as a replacement for 2).


My Question was, as per original Guide Gems section - in which of those staffs Awakened Cast while Channelling Support lv 1 Gems was supposed to be used - in 1) or in 2).

Karl

Okay so if you’re using the self cast version which uses Intensify, Inspiration, Arcane Surge, Concentrated Effect, Elemental Focus, Cold Penetration. Then you put it in with the mapping one.

If you’re using the cyclone variant for both bossing and mapping then it doesn’t matter because eventually you’ll want it in both. So for now it just comes down to your preference.
