TheMehmetBozlak's Notes

Hey guys, self cast ice nova occultist build is here. Use this league starter if you are planning to go for cast on crit version of this. Self casting playstyle is a bit weird and dangerous. You have to stay still and spam frostbolt/ice nova to deal damage.

Build Cost

  • Low Budget: 0-20 ex

Mana: I get a lot of inc mana regen and - mana cost on rings to sustain mana. Until you manage to that use mana flask.

Projectile Speed: I use Faster projectiles for mapping and Slower Projectiles for bosses. Default projectile speed of frostbolt feels very slow and you kinda have to wait frostbolts to reach enemy.

Upgrades:

  • Awakened Gems (Spell Echo, Added Cold Damage)
  • Watcher's Eye (Critical Strikes Penetrate #% of Enemy Elemental Resistances while affected by Zealotry, #% increased Cast Speed while affected by Zealotry)
  • Cluster Jewels Large (Cold Damage): Blanketed Snow, Prismatic Heart, Doryani's Lesson Medium (Critical Strike Chance): Pressure Points, Quick Getaway Medium (Area Damage): Vast Power, Towering Threat

Leveling: Leveling gems and trees are in the video.

Bandits: Kill All (Alira is fine too)

3.19 CHANGES:

  • Defiance Banner now grants you and nearby allies 15–24% increased Armour and Evasion Rating at gem levels 1–20 (previously 30–49%)
  • Defiance Banner now grants nearby enemies 30–40% reduced Critical Strike Chance at gem levels 1–20 (previously 20–29%)
  • The Reservation Mastery that granted 15% increased Mana Reservation Efficiency of Skills has been removed from the Passive Skill Tree.
  • The Gravicius' Veiled modifier on Body Armours that grants 12–14% of your maximum Life as Energy Shield has been replaced with something else. We can no longer craft that mod.

You may run into some problems after the changes.

Problem: Can't use all auras with this setup now because 15% mana reserve mastery is gone.

Solution: There are some ways to solve this problem.

  • Get a helmet enchant with any reserve efficiency.
  • Use Enlighten support.
  • Annoint Charisma.
