Hi! sorry if this has been answered already, super noob here; just started last league.


Was browsing PoEBuilds for a fun cold build and found yours! Really want to try it and was wondering if this would be a good league starter? Or should I wait to build up some currency for key items like The Whispering Ice first?

P.S. My bad for not reading. I see you say that its a good league starter if you enjoy the gameplay (which i do!). But you do mention that it requires "cheap leveling uniques that wont be available for a few hours". What is the price range you're thinking they will be/the total price of a few pieces to get the build off the ground?

Thanks!

The cheap levelling uniques will be either 1c or 3-4 alchs each. Trust me, this hasn't changed in five-plus years. Also, you don't actually need them -- they're just a cheap substitute for good rares that will cost only a bit more.

Have you noticed that the spell has a fiery wind-up animation effect? I just reported this as a bug in-game. Is it happening to you too?

So I know The Whispering Ice is CRUCIAL to the build, but I was perusing PoE trade and all the 6 sockets are going for at least 50c, at the end of a league :/ is that to be expected or am I being too picky looking for a staff?

You were probably looking for 6L, not 6S. You only need 1 link in the mapping staff and no links in the boss staf. Or maybe the market was completely dead at the end of the league.

Typically, just start leveling and check out the new league mechanic. Don't race to maps. Take time to kill most of the mobs. You will normally hit lv 33 somewhere near the end of Act 3 and find 1-2c by then. And that's just about when you can buy the staff for that currency. Don't need to care about the sockets. 4S is just fine for leveling, roll that yourself.

That's probably just your weapon effect. Icestorm does have a casting animation, but I'm not seeing anything fiery on my character.

I thought it's the scourge weapon skin but nope, even without it I have the fire effect.

Does it stay if you turn all auras off?

Yeah it's really weird... I unequipped everything, every mtx, just left an amulet to be able to use the skill. I also switched areas.
