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.

Thanks for explanation. I was slightly disoriented by the fact that original guide has a mathematical explanation why we should stop leveling Cast while channeling at level 15 (means 16 with Staff +1 to Skills). And it was related to cast time . 16 level Cast while Channeling support cast time is 0,37 sec and
awakened level 2 (level 1 base and +1 from staff) has already 0,33s.

However I will just follow your advice - awakend in Farming and if I ever decide to go second Channeling Staff I will think of investing into Awakened Channeling gem there as well.

Are the Raider Flame/Flesh jewels worth it?

Kind of? The bonuses are nice and help make up for the loss of int from dropping the two jewels. But I'm honestly just not convinced they're worth the high exalt cost they currently go for.

Ok, I know this is a dumb question, but does the mod "% Increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills" apply here? I'm assuming no, since Icestorm is a spell, but I've seen some gearing that suggests yes...?

It doesn't effect Ice Storm, but prefixes on rings outside of energy shield and mana if you convert aren't very important to our gearing, so you'll see stuff like that and life etc. even though we don't use them.

38/40 for the first time ever.

I'm done with this league, thank you so much for this guide and for the support!

Hey loving the clear of the build but I feel like my boss dmg is pretty poor with my current gear, anyone got any tips?

Here is my gear, I've only bought gems for the staff so I'm still leveling some.
I'm also working on getting higher character level for the megalomaniac jewels.


Thankful for tips and pointers if I've missed some crucial information and made any mistakes :D

Grab a second Whispering Ice and use the self-cast gem setup for bosses.

That was my 2nd staff for boss setup, so the self cast setup is better for boss dmg?
Edit: swapped Cyclone for cold pen and cwc for intensify and the dmg was slightly better but a lot more dangerous :/ so safer to take my time I guess

Made a helmet today
