Charles Versallius's Notes

Wisped rares are way stronger than expected so I wanted to be more tanky. I also wanted to use Incandescent Heart for a while so here's a new version of the Ice Nova build. It's tanky enough to get to 99-100 comfortably and demolishes maps with less than 6k wisps even with mirror up, but can struggle a bit past 7-8k wisps. Note we are quite tight on accuracy, this is the bare minimum to be playable so an extra accuracy roll on a ring can be nice.

By the way, I've been absolutely printing money with Harvest this league, 3100 purple lifeforce to 1 divine... Wild Bristle Matrons (Harvest bears) are extremely dangerous, I think 80-90% of my deaths are from trying to tank this monster.

I am prioritizing speed and AoE while having decent damage and defenses. Some ideas for improvement:

  • To be more tanky, use molten shell over shield charge.
  • To be more tanky when you're doing 3-4k+ blue wisps, "You take no extra damage from critical strikes while elusive" is really powerful. To get this, you need elusive/onslaught/cdr boots and you can cap your crit from watchers eye with flat crit while affected by Hatred (expensive!)
  • To deal more damage, you can get more mana reservation efficiency from a cluster and slot in extra Hatred.
  • To deal more damage, you can take out some random dangling Armour/ES nodes and put in another medium cluster. Pressure points is excellent especially if your crit chance isn't overcapped by too much while quick getaway can help with balancing attack speed.
