[3.6] The Blizz Sorc - Icestorm/Winter Orb CI Occultist - Viable For Everything
" Other than flasks, where would we get this immunity? " I think the 30 ES on hit Watcher's Eye still works and gives additional ES gain, because I don't think it qualifies as a leech. Zuletzt bearbeitet von Graiaule#7461 um 06.03.2019, 23:54:36

" Kelvynn posted a PoB link on page 117 + a screenshot of 9 more points and Zelot's Oath. This was before the new skill gem data was released though. |

" I can't evaluate that before the new league goes live. But these new buff to self-cast don't solve the main problem with it: you are stuck in the casting animation and can't move, unlike CwC where you are free to move at any moment. And there is mana cost. And losing WO would reduce clear speed. |

" Points spent on crit chance/multi = points not spent on Int. So far every attempt to create a crit version of this build failed because of the massive loss of Int. Even if the latest buffs can finally make the crit route viable, the theorycrafting alone would take more time than we have before the new league. If you want to try it - by all means, let us know what you can come up with. Zuletzt bearbeitet von Kelvynn#6607 um 07.03.2019, 01:15:33

" Good points, thanks for the clarification. How about dipping into Zealot's Oath? Even a 1% regen per second from the passive equates to 100 ES per second on a 10K ES character, which is very easily doable. |
|
" Kelvynn already count it on " And ZO is good even without additional nodes on tree, it provides whooping 6% regen on easily available consecrated grounds. Nodes, of course, make it even more powerfull :) |

I knew about SR version of this build (my friend really loves it), but for me SR was a no go. However Winter Orb changes everything.
Looking forward to trying it out as league starter in Synthesis! Thank you for your work, Kelvynn! Zuletzt bearbeitet von GetGrenade#2339 um 07.03.2019, 03:17:30

We already have huge ES regen on kill from Occultist ascendancy (Vile Bastion) so it seems life regen from tree converted to ES regen with ZO and regen from Consecrated Ground (triggered with a Sulphur Flask) will only be noticeable and useful against single target. And there is also Tukohama pantheon that can give us some ES regen while we don't move with ZO conversion

" When we are talking about regen, i think it's obvious that it's about single target. If anything, vile bastion cover anything we need when it's active, even leech doesn't really needed. So i wouldn't really mention those in the same sentence. |

Now that we can gain benefit from the consecrated grounds, ascendant version receives additional favour points in my book :)
