[3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
|
Kelvynn, you think this build is still viable with the mana cost changes? Skill triggered by CwC should infer mana costs now...
Maybe a self-cast version would be better? Or is that too shitty overall? :/ |

I wanted to start with WI this league but maybe that can no longer happen, F
Has anyone played WI traps? |
|
" If I remember well, seflcasting WI used to cost 140 Mana and thats before the massive mana multiplier increase, now add CWC... |
|
" Yeah Im still trying to kinda make it work since I really wanna play it again :( but guess Ill need to find another build |
|
" I don't know yet. I was going to think about it after seeing the patch notes and decide based on the usual small changes and nuances. But nothing is SMALL about the changes in this one LOL! Let's figure out how the game even works in 3.15 first. |
|
" With these changes, Maven is going to be a bitch for everybody, not just Icestorm. Then again, she was totally not worth farming back in 3.13. Her loot was worthless. Dunno, maybe since then people found more use for it? I wouldn't worry about Maven for now. As long as we can make the build work for mapping and the new league mechanic - which seems to be another one of those that reward being tanky while doing some AoE damage, i.e. should be good for Icestorm. |

@Kelvynn have you ever tried WI traps or mines? Trap icestorm might be good with a new buffs to trappers overall. It's definetely not gonna be as smooth as the CWC cyclone, but damage-wise it might be really good.

" I still don't see any clear confirmation of CwC costing mana. The line from ITEM BALANCE: "Modifiers on items that Trigger a Skill now have a 100% Cost and Reservation Multiplier, unless stated otherwise." - that's clearly about item MODS that trigger skills, like "Trigger XXX on hit", etc. So that has nothing to do with The Whispering Ice and Icestorm. CwC and Awakened CwC are present in the Support Gem Balance section, but the only changes are the generic damage nerfs similar to other gems. I would definitely like to know if Cyclone - CwC - Icestorm is going to cost 24 mana or just 2 like before. Self-casting is going to be terrible for sure. Apart from costing probably 200 mana, stopping to cast Icestorm (with the base 0.75 sec cast time) is not good. Editado por útlima vez por Kelvynn#6607 en 21 jul. 2021 11:39:31

" I never tried that myself. Somebody was going to try Icestorm Trickster or Saboteur a couple of leagues ago, but I haven't heard back from them. Myself, I haven't played an endgame miner in years. Last one was like 3 years ago when I wanted to farm HoGM for the 1/90 mirror card. That was before some big rework of the traps/mines. No idea how that all works these days. It's a completely different play style for sure. |
|
" Yeah I was wondering the same, but in the stream they mentioned that all triggers infer mana costs now. I dont think theres much hope here. If it does need 24mana, is there any hope left for this build? |
