[3.28] Ice Dancing God - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything

New video: City Square Farm

If you want a safe and relaxing farm that gives a ton of xp while still producing a couple of divines per hour - look no further than City Square:
- Easy and 100% predictable layout
- Can kill the bosses at the start to get better altar options
- Mirage is often in range of the bosses for a 2nd kill and a higher chance of Ridan/Black Barya

You can run it with Conquerors or Elder Guards for easy fragments which you can sell of farm Sirus or the Elder yourself.

Red influence is great. Lots of extra mobs, and it often rains chaos orbs (or exalts, or even annuls).

In any league where we have explosions, Incursion is a great farm:
- Tons of xp from all those blue mobs
- A full temple every 3 maps. Locus and Doryani sell very well.

I used it to make my own double-corrupted explodey belt:

Scry Defiled Cathedral to City Square for a chance of Seven Years Bad Luck or The Apothecary.

My current Atlas Tree: Incursions, Scarabs, Breaches. Although I'm kind of disappointed in the Breach mechanic. Not getting anything good from the tree this league. Probably going to switch those points to the Memory nodes at the top.

You can further improve it by adding a Shaped region with some astrolabe and taking a node at the top that will eliminate a random other map when you do City Square.

Anyone have an idea where the huge supply of fractured Helical rings is coming from?

From people using Fracturing Orbs on them?


Damn. I'm circling the drain. I had an explicit search for fractured dex Helicals, and, hey, look, all these rings are fractured! I wonder why?! Wow. I'm an idiot.

And there goes another "Luxury"! This build was never meta but other Int stackers were. HOWA was the main target of the nerf. They lost not only ES but also accuracy. And it did wonders to the Simplex prices. The base is only 16 div right now! I might have to move Simplex and BBD to the Main Upgrade Path.

Even the 3-mod Simplex (with %Attr) is only 105-115 div. I wonder how they craft it now. Is it just a lucky accident, or meta crafting, or maybe Recombinator is involved? Please let me know if you hear anything about that.

Should be the same process, just with INT I guess.
Hello, thanks for the build, it's awesome. Can you tell me how to activate the five aura(Aspect of the Spider) ? I don't really understand. The problem is that i have little INT attribute(2350) or something else. I took all the nodes in the tree like you have

usually we drop discipline for another aura. we never run 5 at once.

im wondering if we could get a belt with gloom & impenetrable shrine together to offset diszipline.

5 auras is possible if u run Ascendant instead of Trickster.

For a small downside of doing 50% less damage.

Neither Discipline nor Aspect is worth losing half of your damage, and overleech too.

Gloom + Impenetrable is currently 20 div. Not sure if that's worth it just for mapping. For big bosses you definitely want your main belt with 69 + 18% Int that gives you about +300 Int. Even after the nerf that's still a good chunk of ES. The difference between the explodey belt + Impenetrable and the Int belt will be less than 1k ES.

I was watching the double-shrine market. There are only 2 combinations including Gloom: Impenetrable for 20 div, and Resistance for 400 div. The latter is probably worth losing 300 Int. 85% all res on this build would be crazy. But that's 0.6 Mirror right there. And if this league goes core and stops appearing in every map, that's probably going to be a full Mirror. Not going to bother with something like that.

And the truly OP combos Gloom + Diamond or Gloom + Acceleration simply do not exist.
