When is Spellbreaker the better defensive Node than Heartstopper ?	Posted by Turbopuschel1 on Sep 3, 2022, 1:18:31 PM Quote this Post
I have my bossing staff, but find myself never thinking about it and ending up using my mapping staff for bosses (that included uber Izaro yesterday after learning the Uber Lab is no longer gated behind the trials). Am I the only one who does this? Just cyclone in circle around the bosses? Also, I must say, I did take the Writhing Jar in with me but seldom used it, as I was basically just frostblinking through the traps or was cycloning away, hitting the totems and all. I did not spec out of Ghost Reaver and it was a breeze.	Posted by Bellaluna1722 on Sep 3, 2022, 2:00:04 PM Quote this Post

This build can facetank some of them and needs to dodge some others. Be more specific if you want to ask about any particular fights.	Posted by Kelvynn on Sep 3, 2022, 2:01:52 PM Quote this Post

This build invests in much better defenses instead. Last edited by Kelvynn on Sep 3, 2022, 2:07:42 PM	Posted by Kelvynn on Sep 3, 2022, 2:02:20 PM Quote this Post

You will feel the difference in damage between the two staves later on when you find some tanky thing that may take 30 sec to cyclone down but only 5 sec with self-cast.

Is it worth switching out Elemental Proliferation if we can pick up Blast Freeze from a cluster?	Posted by King_Haart on Sep 3, 2022, 4:08:56 PM Quote this Post
PSA: Do not use mirrored rings with negative "Damage taken recouped as life." You will get one-shot as a CI.	Posted by Graiaule on Sep 4, 2022, 4:50:21 AM Quote this Post
Why does recouping life kill you? makes no sense	Posted by Firestrike9 on Sep 4, 2022, 6:43:47 AM Quote this Post
" Firestrike9 wrote: Why does recouping life kill you? makes no sense _Negative_ recouped as life. You basically take extra X% of damage directly to life. Guess what happens when you have max 1 life.	Posted by Cjin on Sep 4, 2022, 8:52:52 AM Quote this Post

If you just happen to have a cluster with CttC + Blast Freeze then you can temporarily replace Ele Prolif with something else (Inc AoE?) - until you get a cluster with CttC + Blanketed Snow. But spending any skill points to get a standalone Blast Freeze is a waste. Map clearing is already a breeze. All skill points should improve your single target damage.
