Any chance you're working on one for PoE2? Whispering Ice just came out yesterday :P

Not until after I'm done with 3.26. Then I'll take a look.

The PoE 2 version of the staff has flat base damage instead of scaling from Int. It has a scaling Increased dmg mod, similar to what we get from Tranquility and eldritch mod on gloves in PoE 1. But that's additive with other Increased dmg mods. That's already much weaker than the PoE 1 version for Int scaling. The base damage itself may or may not be good - depending on the current monster tuning in PoE 2. But the scaling potential is sadly lacking.

Also, there is no triggering from movement skills in PoE 2. Self-cast mapping is a huge step down from PoE 1. Just like most things in PoE 2.

Oh i see! Looks like eating chill is a part of the scaling now? But not sure how chill % builds now. I DO know it can go into the hundreds pretty easily. Anyway, had a ton of fun with the build in 1, ty for that.

My experience in the Phrecia league made me think...

I started there as a Scavenger and had a total blast mapping with explosions. It made me really miss the Occultist. Exploding screens is fun!

Then I made the godly items and was able to kill all uber bosses, even though her damage was nothing like the Trickster, and she was a lot more squishy.

Then I made an Aristocrat, gave him those godly items and deleted the uber bosses just for fun (ex: Uber Sirus at lv 86).

Lv 86 Aristocrat was doing more than 2x the damage of lv 97 Scavenger, but the only visible advantage was killing the uber bosses in half of the time. In maps, exploding screens was a lot more fun (and faster).

Could it be worth sacrificing half of your uber boss damage to gain screen-wide explosions? Scavenger explosions were not even as good as Occultist's. And with the new aurabot mercs, she wouldn't need to worry about dropping major auras for Blasphemy.

Once PoB is updated, I'm going to take a look at the current state of Occultist and the damage difference between her and Trickster. Zana is back. Maybe it's time for the Occultist to come back too?

Or a dual-character model, like in Phrecia. One starts the league, farms maps and makes good items. And then the other uses those items and deletes uber bosses.

We'll see.


I was contemplating on trying out a merc with gravebind and obliterate to get the exploding on trickster, worth considering over pure aurabot maybe?
I watched the T17 map 3.25 video. My jaw very slowly but steadily started towards the floor and did not stop until contact was made.

I like to try something different every league. I've done Ice Shot, a couple of Exsanguinates,Lascerate, and I'm thinking I'll try this one. It seems like a very peaceful build with low intensity of positioning with the trade off of not blasting through maps. That's probably going to be perfect for me as I've got a job that leaves me pretty drained at times and being able to just map while zonked out would be good for me.

I'll be following your 3.26 with interest. Thank you for sharing and building.
