[3.25] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything

I do plan on getting proper flasks pretty soon. Just need more currency.

As for omen of amelioration. I ALWAYS have at least 5 stocked up after lvl 93. They truly are lifesavers.

I also always grab Ralakesh and sometimes forget to swap to Yugul later on, once I obtain a cannot be inflicted with corrupted blood jewel.

Scavenger Update

After 1 week in Phrecia, my Scavenger got everything but the 5th Ascendancy and Simplex amulet. 2.7k Int, 14.7k ES.

PoB: Scavenger Lv 97

Flesh/Flame jewels for Trickster are still too expensive. As an alternative, Occultist could work too. It's less expensive and you get the 3rd curse (Ele Weakness). Still less damage than Trickster though.

Simplex in this mini-league is just too much of a project. And it's not really needed either.

Mapping

(video from stream)

This is so much fun! Explosions make farming maps a lot faster and enjoyable. I don't think I've reached this state in a new league in just 1 week before. And the explosions definitely helped. Faster mapping = faster progress.

Bosses

(video from stream)

Scavenger does less than a half of Trickster's damage. But it's apparently enough for all content, including the uber bosses. Even without the 5th Ascendancy and Simplex. She is also less tanky, no overleech, not immune to slowing effects. And yet she can farm everything just fine.

I've updated the Phrecia section of the guide.

This makes me think... Could sacrificing half of your power for the explosions be worth it? Perhaps I should consider resurrecting the Occultist version in 3.26. Whenever GGG releases it.

I'm going to check out the Aristocrat next. He would be too much of a pain to start on day 1. But now I can twink him up immediately and give him the uber items. And his flesh/flame jewels are super cheap. We'll see how fast he can delete uber bosses. Scavenger can do it without the Trickster defenses, and Aristocrat will have more ES from all that massive Int stacking.

What does the final version of solo/bossing staff look like? (Links/gems/quality)
I'm having trouble finding it in the PoB.
