For a 6 link setup without the Pandemonius Amulet, which 2 gems should i pick from controlled destruction, elemental focus and improved crit? The other 4 are frostbolt, spell totem, faster cast and cold pen. Thanks!	Posted by psycho_bear on Aug 14, 2017, 1:51:57 AM Quote this Post
Atm I am lvl 87 ... still using the 1c wands and tabula: I have like 200k dmg with 4 totems up, close to permafreezing up to t10 bosses. The only unique I am using are tabula and the gloves. Life is kinda low - just 4100 but freezing everything is so so so satisfying. I fixed my resistances so will switch to a Wise Oak flask for another 13% cold pen. I still see no reason to go for Taryn aside the block. If there is something to kill me are offscreens and volatiles, permafreezing even beyond bosses in t12 is so satisfying. You can check my version, char name is paingoesfrost. A lot cheaper, a lot more dmg, well ... 1k less hp but I compensate with the freeze. Edit: Taryn is very good with the pandemonium and hypotermia ... but too damn costly. pandemonium is 250c/6ex? Fuck that!

how do you permafreez bosses?	Posted by exibob on Aug 14, 2017, 4:34:06 AM Quote this Post
" exibob wrote: how do you permafreez bosses? I have 60% crit with 5 power charges(If I had good daggers I would get even more), with diamond flask around 80%ish, each critical hit will proc the elemental effect: freeze. 4 totems criting nonstop will make the boss barely move, sometimes they freeze mid air. When reaching t10(promenade/collonade) the bosses will get a mini shutter, can barely move. I have pcoc aside my surge on my orb of storms to keep charges on bosses too. This is a crit build after all, the staff nodes seem lackuster to me ... but in the end the build is made for HC. I went generic totem crit build, so I went for crit and crit multi (it's like a small more multiplier). I just walk around spamming totems, everything is frozen, the only problems are the freaking proximity shields rares.	Posted by painguard on Aug 14, 2017, 4:43:41 AM Quote this Post

Sounds great, just the question is, Is it worth it to switch 30 points when you are lvl 80? Killing bosses is truly painful, freeze chance is just not good enough. However it is doable, just takes a bit more time and some more movement skills (and I am just talking about maps T8-9 :/ ). Now my dps single totem is just around 20K	Posted by M4R4 on Aug 14, 2017, 6:55:54 AM Quote this Post
