[3.8] LiftingNerdBro's Tri/Quad Frostbolt Totems Hierophant - Strong League Starter!
Before you switch to wands see what wands you can afford: crit chance / crit multi / cold spell dmg / added xx cold dmg to spells / cast speed. That added xx dmg on spells on each wands means close to 1 extra level on frostbolt. Run the numbers in path of building see what you get. I will try to make a video when I get home but my radeon 7790 might be an impediment.

" I don't mean to be rude, but it's something to say it, and it's something else to actually level it. Did you spec into all these shadow side crit nodes at high level or did you level like this ? If so, how many times did you die ? Respecing at a higher level, with good preparation (and therefore investment), is the safer way in my opinion. Anyway, thank you for your feedback. It's giving me perspectives for high tier maps bossing. |

Hi all,
Is it worth to have another staff(weapon swap) with another spell linked to "spell totem" (like flame blast, firestorm) for boss killing? Thanks |

" I would say that he followed the original tree and for those shadow nodes went at around lvl 65-70. He just sacrifice those life nodes which could have been kinda painful without proper life on gear. But on the other hand for lower lvl maps should not be a big deal. I had a really shi*y gear and the map clear was awesome even without those dps nodes. You just need to pick up as much life on gear as you can.

" The point of this sacrifice is to freeze bosses, otherwise it's not worth it in my opinion. You definitly don't need the shadow crit nodes in order to have an excellent clear speed in T1-5 maps. Editado por útlima vez por Miriemos#1534 en 14 ago. 2017 9:45:41

" current pandemonius price is a joke get yourself a rare amu with crit multi/cast speed/spell damage and you're going to end up with same dps and potentially more life for 1/10 price I got that one for 5c and crafted crit on it for another 2c and it's just a little bit worse than 200c+ pandemonius Editado por útlima vez por UnusualChinchilla#4258 en 14 ago. 2017 10:15:14

@Miriemos
Died at Kitava 2 times, reached mapping with a total of 9 deaths and 2k life. Indeed I specced to the shadow area later when I had to make the decision of wasting another 100 alterations to craft the 5L I bought or try and go real crit, and the prices on Halcyon/Pandemonius are still stupidly high. The build really shines with Taryn and the amulet otherwise it's somewhere in between becouse ... crit whithout enough crit multi seems ... weird? Allso I don't really like block as a main defensive mechanic as I mostly find I die to random aoe spell dmg. I don't like to die eather, I am fairly confident I can reach 90 noproblemo with this toon. So far the only problem I had was a double boss/EE/ele rezist 8 mod High Gardens with 2 other buddyies specced into RF without delirium gloves. That peticular fight took way longer then it should and still managed to kill them deathless. So far only reached t12, 1 minute boss, hard mods again as I want 100%+ on atlas. You have to dodge shit, enter a room see the pack/ the pack attacks / strafe left or right / rclick ... whatever I like the playstyle. I am having RSI on my hands so this kinda of build suits my playstyle. Proximity shields and volatiles are the most deaths for me. Editado por útlima vez por painguard#4783 en 14 ago. 2017 9:58:17

" Indeed, but we aint talking about T1-5 maps, but potentially much higher at the end. Which is the main goal of going that way, isnt it? Perma freeze gives you a good chance to survive even without life nodes and significantly boost your dps. As he said this is a SC dps version. |

" Yeah my bad, I misread you. " He did say the opposite. |
