[2.2] A Storm of Ice and Fire - Avatar of Fire CI Whispering Ice - Uber Viable!

Hi !

For starters, thanks a lot for your build ! I've been playing it in the Perandus Hardcore League for ... one day, and I'm loving it ! I would like your opinion on my stuff and what changes to prioritize. So far, I got

and, for the flasks :


My passive tree is nearly the same as yours (except for the 15% lighting res which I'll take back with better stuff) and I was thinking about going to Ballistic Mastery and then to the Alchemist nodes : https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAABAADBAecEBw18DkgQWBBiES0RUBGWFdcZihpsGo8dFB1PHwIpTyo4LJwsvy0fLag1uTbFNuhGaUZxSshMs1BCUXRWSFZjWK9d8l8qX2pfsGZUbRluqm87b552EXgNe8N8g3_GgpuC5IMJhFOExYV7hq6HZYqvjDaMdo7pj0aP-pARkyeVIJcGm7Wdrp48n8uiLqKjppmnCKcrpzCpbq-Nr5uxkLQMtfK31r6KvrzAGsHFwfPDOspKytPQ0NWm2CTbWeKt5CLquuvk6-7sGOw47_322vsJ

I got around 8k ES and something like 2.5k dps on Incestorm with 1000 intel roughly.
I think I can get some more so I'll be less squishy and more powerful but I'd like your advices ;) !

Also, I got Flame Golem + Minion Life + Minion res + Blind but I don't know if this setup is the most optimal. What do you say ?

Again, thanks a lot for the guide and hope to read your answers soon !

With that flask, you generate consecrated ground, so it means that while you stand on it, you have 4% ES regen per second.

It would be hard to find an encounter where 4% ES/sec regen would make a difference. Core Malachai will wreck you with or without it if you try to facetank him. Nothing else can outdamage our leech. Maybe some combination of +%extra ele damage and EW on a high tier boss, but I would rather not try to facetank in that situation. We have always relied on mobility and range/area damage. Standing in 1 spot and facetanking only became a possibility in 2.2 and it's better not to take any risks if you aren't sure you can survive. When in doubt - cast Icestorm and run :)

how about this one?
So this is my current gear right now




Would it make a big difference to upgrade my staff rom 14% inc int to 18%? Im currently at like 8.5k ES and 4.5k avg dmg with conc effect. Thoughts?
How do You get 7.5 spell crit on WI. I'm missing something coz i have 5%... but dunno what.

Maybe you are using Controlled Destruction as a support in the staff?

4% increased intellect is a good upgrade. You are still missing int on both helmet and body armour, plus your support gems are still lvl 19 and 0 quality (except for CE).

Full quality / level on supports, more int from gear are your next goals.

Yeah you're right, I think I can manage to get both a good chest piece and wep pretty easy, but ive kinda digged myself into a hole by getting so much resistances on my helmet, gonna be pain to rebalance the gear around a new one with more int.

And I guess the 19/0 gems make a big difference with 20%Q :)

Worth it ?





We take Vaal Pact, which means the flask will have no regen effect on our ES, since life regeneration has no effect.

Sorry if this was asked before but this thread is getting too big.

Ive reached end game with this and I cannot run all of the auras AA, Discipline, and Blasphemy. I have to choose between AA and discipline.

From what im experiencing, 5% unreserved mana is not enough to support all 3 of these.

So what im asking is, in other ppls opinions, is he right in saying enlighten is not mandatory?
