[3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
" I see, thanks for that! So when making changes to the build e.g. allocating a 10 point intelligence node that would make a 1.2% increase in 'DPS', this change in damage to one shard can be generalized to increasing the overall dps of the build? |

Heya! Been loving the build! Followed all your advice and have been cruising along having an awesome time and am just now approaching red maps and and gems reaching level 20. Other than CwC which you've said to keep at 15, should I be 20% qualing the other gems in my staff? (inspiration,arcane surge, ce, etc.) As well as generally any other gems?
Sorry for the fragmented question, basically just wondering how I should be progressing at this point. P.S. Also, at level 84 is 4.3k ES okay? Res' are all capped and I have an Astramentis with Steelwood Stance so my block chance is 47% for atks and 30% for spells. Int is also at 1343 |

" Yes. If damage a shard does is increased by 1.2%, that means damage 1257048653 shards do is increased by 1.2% and so on. And since the Icestorm damage is so much higher than damage from other sources, you can practically count dps of other sources to be 0. Only exception worth considering is Profane Bloom if you are playin witch. | |

Okay, for the Ascendant version of this build, would Mark of the Shaper be an option to help with consistent clearing? The 20% trigger on kill seems like it has a lot of base cold damage, and it's spell damage so it would be buffed by the int-based spell damage.
It would of course be an int loss, but just wondering if it would be an option. My experience so far seems that the damage is very decent, even with the very limited gear I have, but that AoE isn't that big and that clearing everything takes some time. Edit: and an unrelated question. What is the reason for only levelling the CwC gem to level 15? Epps#3357 님이 2022. 5. 16. 오후 4:20:14에 마지막으로 편집

You guys playing ascendant -- how tanky are you feeling?
Do you get consistently one shot at least once per map? Or do you just facetank sentinel-augmented mobs of blue and rares? The witch version seems unusually squishy this league, so was wondering if that was uniform (due to the buffed magic and rares) or limited to the witch. (I'll say my ascendant on Standard feels quite strong in T16 maps even with the new magic/rare mobs.) Graiaule#7461 님이 2022. 5. 16. 오후 4:49:57에 마지막으로 편집

Could someone please send/post me a link for the classic POB tree? As the only ones that I can find in the description are the cluster ones. Thanks

" yeah there used to be a Classic version, but I have lost it. Usually it's linked with the others. |
|

For those asking about the classic tree. I'm assuming he removed it because it's just kind of redundant at this point.
The budget cluster one is very cheap/easy since you literally just need to grab the worst version of the cluster/splits you can find. If you don't have those yet and have more point just any int travel or jewel for int conversion will work in the meantime. |

" Fair point, but it was a decent tree for leveling from 30 to 80 before you switch to even budget clusters. |

A couple of comments.
1. The Scion classic tree is very close to the Witch classic tree. I took my current Witch tree (partly on the way to the cluster version) and made it a Scion tree. See https://pastebin.com/mEjETwnB. 2. You can still use cluster jewels in the classic tree. You heed to respec ONLY if you have TWO intelligence split personality gems. 8 passive CttC/Widespread Destruction gems are pretty cheap (~10c) and give you CttC at the cost of 5 passive points.
