Ultimate Pack Freezing: Dual Ice Spear Totem build guide CI (HC/SC)
|
I've found 2 while leveling, one of which was superior XD. Two should be enough coz I need to have the Quicksilver and 2 mana potions... So you're using granite flasks only for the dispel? Or even for the +3000 armor?

" both! if I got hit very hard, or needed to dispel~ just pop the granite Edit: edit picture for lv81, prob won't go lv82 for extra power charge, feel no need atm. IGN: Rainku_Arc Last edited by rainku#6879 on Sep 7, 2013, 1:13:10 PM

Ok I finally reached lv 68 so I'm now specced on CI. I have to buy the Maligaro's, but I don't know how much I should pay them. What's the regular price with good roll non 4-linked?
EDIT: Oh well, i bought a 4L 50/42 for 4 gcp, it should be a good price. Now I need to buy a circlet with good ES and high fire and lightning resistence ;/ Last edited by Remi91#5075 on Sep 9, 2013, 5:24:24 AM

Reached level 69, and started to use this build. I can say that it's totally op, and I just spent only 15 gcp and 14 chaos to buy everything except 6L Taryn's and Rainbowstride. I won't use Dream Fragment because I think I'm good with my rings, but it would be a good boost indeed. I need two things: 20% Ice Spear and 20% Elemental Proliferation, so I can put on Cold Penetration instead of having on Added Cold Damage (I use this coz I had it already 20/20).
Sadly I needed to put 4 passive skill points on stats though :( Here is my gear:

Glad you like my build. It is very op indeed.
I would still recommended you to get dream fragment, because you will need the mana pool. IGN: Rainku_Arc Last edited by rainku#6879 on Sep 15, 2013, 4:05:56 PM

Hello fellow players!
Dual ice spear was one of my first characters back in closed beta, and now that I've seen this guide, I decided to try it again and it's a lot of fun and nostalgia for me now, thanks to the author for that :). I did not try elemental proliferation back then and it really adds to the fun now as people even note 'perma freeze' effect in public parties. And then they start playing recklessly and proceed to die when I don't place totems... My build looks like this (I play Witch) From this point I want to skill for more DPS (I have 5.5k ES and I'm in softcore). I think the best way from current build is to take Witch's spell damage and cast speed nodes. Do you agree? Did you find any other interesting options for this build? I use Astramentis amulet for stats and Dream Fragments ring to help with mana and mana regen as I currently don't have any +mana stats on chest and helm. I also use bear trap + added fire damage + culling strike for additional single target DPS or to finish a lone monster. What do you use? By the way, do you think that 7th power charge is worth to take as Ice Spear should crit anyways in its second form? Especially with 6 power charges. Is there a math calulation of how much crit chance Ice Spear needs to crit in its second form? 100/6=17% crit chance? And besides that, is cold penetration really better than added cold damage or maybe some other supports? Sorry for a lot of questions, I thought it'd be interesting to discuss these and maybe even add some info to the guide. |

" Cold penetration is better especially when you against cold resistance mobs. Ice Spear always crit on second form, but I want it always to crit like most of the time. So, still working on that as I am thinking to respec to single ice spear totem and ice spear to leech life or CI/ghost reaver (since I will have two 6 sockets to spare) And yes, bear trap is good idea too since you crit so much :) IGN: Rainku_Arc Last edited by rainku#6879 on Oct 17, 2013, 6:40:57 PM

So about the circlet, are you saying you use get power charges even though you aren't doing any damage? I didn't think about that so if that is true do you want ice spear to be at a lower level for lower mana consumption? I say this because you dont do damage with Ancestral Bond.
Thanks. |

I've played this build for a month, and reached lv 86 so far. I dont have much time to play, and usually I play in domination.
Anyway, this is my gear. I think is very good.
