[3.5] The Blinding Blizzard - Whispering Ice CI Elequisitor - Viable For Everything
|
This build looks very interesting. But I have 1 question:
Why do we use herald of ash? wouldn't herald of ice do more damage? If I calculated correctly, herald of ice adds 65.5 avg cold damage to spells (with ascendancy buff). That would be the equivalent to around 300 int. Or about a 17% more multiplier (which is more then herald of ash provides). Or just use both and drop arctic armor? |

because we dont deal anything but fire damage.

" We still have 100% conversion from ice damage, so we can use herald of ice all the same. " I don't want to count myself, but PoB definitely think otherwise. So it's either some mechanics, that you didn't count, or PoB count damage incorrectly |

" Damage Effectiveness (Icestorm): Damage from secondary sources like 'added damage' supports or heralds applies at only 30% of their listed value. Herald of Ash grants % more spell damage.

According to PoB, if I replace HoA with HoI (same level/quality), my effective DPS against uberbosses drops by 12%. HoI just doesn't add enough flat damage to compete with a MORE multiplier. And its clearspeed part doesn't work either since we don't do any cold damage.

" Thanks for info. I knew that ash is better, but didn't quite knew why herald of ice didn't add enough damage. It was very informative. |

Just spent all my savings (55 exalts) this league for this beauty :
My ES skyrocketed to 12.9K Energy Shield from 10.8K , and it has also perfect roll for ES gain on hit :) Do you think i made a good deal for this price or i just vanished all my savings for almost nothing worthy? Editado por útlima vez por lilianmarius#0775 en 19 abr. 2018 16:29:27

Considering the drop rate and the stupid low odds of getting both the mods on one... Yeah, probably a decent pickup at that price. I wanted one too, but, I can't fit in Clarity at any level with the Fen setup (Not that I can even afford it).
The max Discipline roll is nice, but, since you can divine them without worrying about changing the mod types it's not super valuable on its own. |

if 18% mana gain is max then it perfect,
I would aim for perfect 2nd mod not the es gain on hit Also good price imo. and I think we can get clarity by corrupt the belt, or consider of dropping ascentral call. |

" I knew PoB puts Herald of Ash above Ice, but I didn't understand why till now. (since the added damage is more then the buff from Ash) But the effectiveness of added sources being cut to 30% explains it. Thanks |
