[3.20] Ice Dancing Queen - Icestorm/Cyclone/CI - Viable For Everything
|
Hello lovely people! I'm back for the Sentinel league. I finished everything in Archnemesis faster than in any league before and switched my attention to other things, so I've missed a whole lot of posts here. Not feeling like reading back everything, sorry. Let's just look at the new league.
No nerfs, buffs or any balance changes? That means this build will continue to rock as hard as before. I'll just look over the guide and see what needs to be added based on the experience in 3.17. Archnemesis was a boss kill league. Single target focused Scion was perfect for that. Sentinel looks like a clear speed league. Occultist should fit it better. I'll see if I can adapt the Occultist guide. Question for those who played Occultist in 3.17: how did you deal with the lack of stun immunity? |

On the other hand, I've enjoyed being virtually unkillable as a Scion - something that the Occultist lacks. The biggest issue is stun immunity. And then the Scion also has 80% curse mitigation (because of the automatic consecrated ground + Yugul). Ignoring curses adds a decent amount of safety. And ES regen too (again from the consecrated ground).
So perhaps it's easier to just relax and enjoy a league with a fully developed build without having to work on it. Are there any important useful additions for this build that were discovered since February? |

Hey, welcome back, Kelvynn!
To answer your question, nothing that really seemed to stick changed (I kept up reading though I couldn't play this league.) Last edited by Graiaule#7461 on May 9, 2022, 3:12:55 PM

" " Lot of the discussion lately have been what are good skills to use for leveling. For stuns, I started with Tolerance wheel. Plan was to get jewels with stun avoidance, but didn't have time to play to get there. New items they showed during stream that might be interesting are Impossible Escape and new stuff Forbidden Flame/Flesh can give. They just haven't yet showed anything else than Nine Lives that is not that useful. | |
" I really wanted profane bloom for the clear but also love the immortality for bossing because it made last league amazing, its such a hard choice.. |
|
" with the uber uber bosses next league we will neeeeed the dmg and i think it wouldnd be so eays like this league :-) |
|
" For me it looks like a boss kill league, as they added a lot of uber uber bosses and told that 40 /40 will be a lot more grinding. So i fear you have to kill all the big bosses for challenge. That means you need a big amount of dmg. On the other side, profan bloom is such a nice ability i missed the whole league. has someone tryed where the new jewel would be good for us. As we try to get a extra long tree to get much int and es from split personality i cant imagine if that jewel is worth it ? impossible escape i think was the name Last edited by ichbinwerichbi#6654 on May 9, 2022, 4:55:43 PM

" we need a jewel combination what gives us profan bloom such as raider :-) |
|
" Oh, I forgot about that part! I bet some of those new extra hard challenges will include killing uber bosses buffed by uber sentinels, probably with some hard conditions too. Since my goal is always 40/40, I guess there is no real need to solve the Occultist issues. Profane Bloom is sure nice, but not dying might just save more time (and nerves). |
|
" Our tree doesn't need stuff like connecting distant nodes. And it needs to be uninterrupted to scale Split Personality. Are they adding something new to Forbidden Flesh/Flame? I'm going to add the ones I used in Archnemesis (there are really just 2 good options for Ascendant: Raider or Berserker). |
