Last night going for 40/40 challenges i managed to get to 600 depth in the mines and oh boy what a ride it was! Getting there was more challenging regarding the cost(spent a lot of my savings on Gilded Sulphite Scarabs ~ 30-40 scarabs) than regardin the struggle with the depths areas(no special auras or flasks used). Found a lot of bosses on my way through: 6xAhuthotli, 2xLich, 4xAul(still need to try these ones)

Now i can really say that this version of the build is the tankyest one i have played till now. Got through most brutal zones mods without no problem, always chose the shortest path, no matter how brutal the area mods were(and trust me i have seen some of the most brutal area mods from Delve like triple increasead elemental damage, crit chance+crit multiplier, onslaught, elemental penetration, etc.)

On the scion version last league it was way more difficult to reach 600 , died a lot and skipped a lot of bad mods areas).

Some "nice" mods area that this build was cruising through + bonus: Aul everywhere

So far, you got the best version of the build in case of minmaxing, GJ! :) Can you please look up my charecter and say what should I upgrade first? Only got 3 ex on my hands tho. Character name is somebodyWI. Seems like change the tree, grab new jewel slots and buy another amulet with shaper's dmg per 15 int, am I right?

A %damage per int amulet will help a lot with clear speed since the damage bonus increase WO damage quite much.Looking at your gear you may need to get some %increased int corruption mod on rings and belt first. 3 exalts are not quite much when it comes about min-max the gear.

If you get 1 more level consider of dropping Stormweaver cluster in favour of another Fertile Mind/Brute Force jewel socket near the Avatar of fire area.

Also you have some elemental/cold damage nodes allocated in witch area which i consider also can be dropped for another jewel slot near CI (you need 1 more level also for that.

% increased intelligence will raise the flat int nodes a lot so 10 int will be way better than 10-15% increased elemental/spell/cold damage

So what is the best way to get this corruptions? Just buying things with it or corrupt in temple by myself?

All hail to WI mastermind :D

Also, I posted some funny stuff about using SR with ocultist, can you clear that for me, please? On paper it just looks better for this build.

Hurray, December is over and I can play PoE a bit more again! Sorry about not updating the guide, but I really can't play in December. All I did was fill the Atlas, get to lv 94.5 while doing so, kill the Shaper and run into a lv 83 Mastermind while avoiding the spoilers about that fight. That went well... LOL. Plus some Delves and half-decent gear upgrades. In a non-December league, this would be my situation after about 1 week.

Back in the game now, going to catch up on everything, make new videos, update the guide etc.

Welcome back Kelvynn!

I have an Aul ready for you as special coming back gift!



Looking at the mods and the depth i am kinda afraid to try it! The mobs in that biome were kinda brutal i may say even for this very tanky build , had to use all my concentration and resources not to die to them.

Welcome back.
One question - what are you thinking about 5l orb+ 5lstorm as clearing setup? Kinda interesing in that because I have problems with high tier incursions (not enough time).

Pretty much, Winter Orb clears everything by itself, so we don't need to channel so often, only as much to keep it up. Clear speed is sooooo much better than with SR. It's no qotf wander, but it's very fast. Well, at least with Profane Bloom, haven't tried without.

Thanks for making this guide. I have a few questions:

1) In Pob enabled Vaal Impurity of Ice, lowers the damage per hit by half. Any idea why?

2) Does cast speed effect Icestorm in any way? Increase drop speed of bolts, maybe?

3) Does spell damage affect Icestorm at the 30% effective rate, similar to Add # cold dmg to spell mods?
