Can i say a massive thanks to all that helped with advice on my build

It says to switch to CI by 58 or at least early maps and honestly I die so fast because ES is low like around 2.8k.

The only real defense you have beforehand is chill and freeze.
I'm having a hard time clearing yellow maps because I deal very little damage to bosses and I die if my character so much as trips.

Is the build even viable if you don't have a mapping character to farm currency to supply this?



Replace your chest with something budget like.

also get astramentis amulet and int rings https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Archnemesis/PD4MeODFL

if this is broken just search non-unique chest, with minimum 30-40 int and 550 energy shield, it is easy to 5 link it by urself

i found the best way for a half decent chest piece is to buy a cheap random shaper iLVL 85 vaal regalia them spam deafening essences of spite til you hit % increased int with the flat int, then craft from there

That's how i did mine ( this is my new one )



Also, changed helm and gloves around ( slammed life instead of mana but ah well )

Why should Vortex be kept at level 1?

Also, if anyone knows how to search a specific thread, please do let me know.

Thank you!

Vortex deals next to no damage compared to Icestorm, so higher level only makes it cost more mana.

true, but i have 3.5k mana ( 2.9k reserved ) so i can go up to lvl 21 as i have enough unreserved mana
lvl 1 vortex = 995 average damage
lvl 21 = 33.991.5 average

Every little helps

build is now complete ( got VERY lucky with a tailoring orb )

Thanks for the infos you all.

Right now I've been leveling (currently 17) it and starting out in maps Vortex is one shotting mobs very easily.

I will continue to keep it going as long as I have the mana to support it. Until then, not hard to slap a lvl 1 in there :P

Thanks again!

Can you give a rough cost-estimate?
Cause this looks pretty intense :)

And wouldn't you want to drop that single +10 int node and put it into the first passive note at no-pants-man starting area (+mana +%incr dmg) in order to "activate" the pure-talent benefits of templar? (5% ele pen)

EDIT: and many thanks for the cool build. I like it a lot!
