[2.6] The Curse Whisperer - Tri-Curse CI Whispering Ice EleRaider - Viable for Everything

i fiddled around with the skill tree while levelling (naturally) and i must say your version is very very optimized.

the only thing i do not understand at all is "avatar of fire" (still have 1 level to go to assign it). from what i gather from the tooltip it would be a steep decline in dps (arond 20-25 percent) while you achieve the dubious advantage of single element damage (to easily negate reflects). is it really worth the trouble? if i deal like a 3rd of total damage as cold and pop a ruby flask on reflects i think i will be fine too.

edit: nevermind that - i gained 300 dps for some reason. i think i don't understand "avatar of fire" XD

The benfits of conversion to fire have been explained multiple times already. Just re-read Build Theory carefully.

How do you kill Izaro with this build in Merciless? I've got to him 3 times now and am struggling pretty hard.

Current specs are 6,000 shield, level 75 with just under 1,200 int.

I'm not sure how my specs are so far behind yours. I've got 40 - 50 Int on each piece, all with just shield as a defense type and a 700 + shield chest.

If you want me to take a look why your stats are so low, make your character public in your profile.[/quote]

Done

You are lv 76. That's 16 levels below the target (92). This build scales with levels very well. 16 levels is a lot of power to get.

Your gems are lv 16-18. That's very weak.

Your staff is 15% Int. Get 18%, they are not expensive.

Your helmet is 11%. Get 13-14%.

You are in the Essence league and using Auxium. Spite Essences are cheap. Make an Int Crystal belt, or buy one.

Your gloves are 67 ES and your boots are 71 ES. That's too weak.

One of your cobalt jewels (between Scion and Witch) is total garbage. Move the other one (near Scion) into that socket and put Fertile Mind in the Scion socket.

Merciless Izaro can hit you for 6.5k on a bad day. But if you fix the items listed above you should get at least 7-7.5k.

Hi, first of all ty for great guide! i'm loving build so far.
I have question how can i improve my char to make it shaper ready. ty for sny sugestion!

Looks pretty nice and i play it already

But why the Auxium? We dont have Physical Damage so the Mana Leech is not available - so its basically a belt with ES - not INT or anything ... or what exactly am i missing here?

Auxium was chosen for the Chill/Freeze protection and high ES, before the Int Crystal belts entered the game (see Gear - Belt).

Thank you Kelvynn for your guide, it's a really good work and really good build. I have problem with elemental reflection, kind of big. I cannot deal with it. i have just made a test on a tier 4 with 15 % of elem reflection : even if i can kill some packs of mobs the reflection oftenly kill me. I try to avoid the mod, but some rare mobs have elem reflection and every time i meet them i die. I think i have missed something.

EDIT: i tried to copy your flask and it's better but i dont feel safe

Anyone knows if modifications made to Raider Ascendancy will affect also Scion Raider Ascendancy ?

Nice looking build. I`m gonna try Whispering Ice build, finaly :)
But have one doubt, and thats the price of Whispering Ice at the start of Breach League? Since i`ll go with this as a league starter.
