leveling
Firstly you can run all the way to end game on a tabula although I don't recommend it. In my build I ended up using a loreweave after going through a few chest pieces

I ended up taking whispers of doom to add an extra curse but drop the levels leading to it if you can get a +1 to curse item

We take a decent amount of crit an elemental damage to increase our damage
however ice spear has an already near max critical chance to begin with so if you can focus critical multiplier where you can

you can run this build on an entirely rare set up that's to say there are no required unique items

my current items look a little like this

my final thoughts on the build are that it does a lot of damage on a low budget and can be min maxed to make the most of it.
