Maybe add in Yoke with Olesya's? Do Merciless Lab ASAP once gear/links are sorted. Early on, Don't want Unique Gloves,Boots,Chest or Helm for the 15% Suppress Mastery, ALL of them need Evasion & Energy Shield, Dont be a noob like me and only have ES. We replace this when we do our Uber Lab or get Some suppress on gear. Make minor upgrades when possible to improve both damage & survivability. Expect transition to Whispering Ice by Day 7 or sooner with at least 1000 Int - NO Crazy Items just a simple, cheap Setup to Endgame. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unique Item Ideas that Could be used for the build to get more damage: Rime Gaze - early game huge DoT boost - conflicts with Suppress Mastery - uber lab preferred Carcass Jack - AoE & extra damage for more clear Pandemonius - Endgame Penetration + Damage Olesya's Delight - day 4 or 7? 4 Affliction charges + 1 tree - Yoke wombo combo shock? Bitterdream - Chase first for free damage Algor Mortis - Potential damage? Yoke of Suffering - early - skitter infernal legion/army for ignite & shock 15% increased damage Cowards Legacy - Huge LL damage boost with pain attunement Lori's Lantern - Defense counter for cowards legacy Mark of the Shaper - Chase second for damage Apex Mode - Intensify supports (Caster mastery) Stack chill to increase Bonechills extra dps Volkuur's Guidance(poison) - Scales with cold DoT - potential whole new build...
