Build Overview

I also stream everyday on Twitch! So come ask me any questions you may have or come hang out!

Overview

This is the SMOOTHEST league starter I have ever played. It centers around using Navira's Fracturing to completely blow up the entire screen and shatter all the enemies in your way. It starts off as a 2-3 button build where you cycle between Ice Nova and Navira's Fracturing and it can even turn into basically a one-button build if you use a Tame Beast with Frozen Ground Trail.

For single-target you will use Kelari's Deception and Kelari's Brutality which will carry you through the entire game starting from Act 2 when you ascend to Disciple of Varashta.

If I want to Automate Chilled Ground, when should I tame a beast?

As early as you want, but if you do it during the acts, you will lose damage. I would recommend if this is the path you want to take, only do it in the endgame when you have enough spirit from your Sceptre and equipment to handle 3+ Minions & the Tame Beast.

Here is a video explaining how to farm the correct beast.

Is this build expensive?

NOPE! It is dirt cheap - I played it through HCSSF and made it to Tier 15 maps within a day of getting to the end game. It is EXTREMELY easy to scale and is super satisfying to play as well.

****DISCLAIMER****

You will need to respec your tree in Act 2 after your first Ascendancy. Save at least 5-7k gold to make sure you can make that swap immediately.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Extremely cheap to build
  • One of the best league starters
  • Super Tanky
  • Very satisfying full screen ice pops
  • Damage can be hard to scale in the super late end game (don't worry it can do all content easily)
  • You need to wait until Act 2 to play with the Djinn and you will need to respec the tree then

***DISCLAIMER***

Due to Mobalytics and PoB not showing the size of Time Lost Jewels properly with Baryanic Leylines, it looks like we just take a bunch of garbage nodes for no reason. BUT - that is not the case. We take a lot of those "random nodes" because they give us a ton of bonuses from our Time-Lost Sapphire Jewels.

Sceptre

Main Priority is + Minion Skills (+4 is max here). You also want as much Spirit as possible.

Use a Runebinder's Alloy to get +5 Max Stacks of Puppet Master.

You also want:

  • Allies In Your Presence Deal % More DMG,
  • Minion Crit Damage / Crit Chance

The type of Sceptre is up to you. I prefer Shrine Sceptres for Resistance Aura and also the Purity Aura allows you to slot support gems without having to pay the spirit cost.

For the Socket use Xipocado's Soul Core of Dominion or Idol of Parisee.

Focus

Main Priority is + Minion Skills (+2 is max here). You either need to buy it or Desecrate it yourself.

Other than that, get as much ES and Resistances as possible. Cast Speed is also good!

Helmet

Main Priority is + Minion Skills (+2 is max here)

Other than that, get survivability stats.

Use a Raven-Touched Shard to annoint Gigantic Following.

If you have an Exceptional Helmet, also use Idol of Ralakesh.

Body Armour

Prioritize getting Spirit and as much Energy Shield as possible & Resistances.

Gloves

Prioritize getting as much Energy Shield as possible & Resistances.

Use a Cadigan's Epiphany for an extra Rare Jewel.

Boots

Pretty straightforward - as much Energy Shield and Resistances as possible. As high Movement Speed as possible.

Amulet

A Portent Amulet with Wolf Pack is BiS. Prioritize the following stats:

  • + Minion Levels
  • Spirit
  • Energy Shield
  • Resistances

Annoint Dominion (Potent Contempt - Suffering - Isolation)

Rings

Rare Rings

Try to get a ring with the following stats (priority order):

  1. Minion Damage %
  2. Minion Crit Chance
  3. Minion Crit Damage Damage

NOTE: These will either need to be purchased or birthed from the Genesis Tree through Breach.

Evergrasping Ring is also very good if you want more damage.

Belt

Try to get a belt with the following stats (priority order):

  1. + Minion Skills (This is extremely rare and expensive. While it is #1 priority, don't worry if you can't get it)
  2. Command Skill Damage
  3. Minion Area of Effect

NOTE: These will either need to be purchased or birthed from the Genesis Tree through Breach.

Mageblood is also very good for QOL and Speed if you feel like you have enough damage!

Jewels

Since we are now using Baryanic Leylines, our Jewels are a HUGE source of our damage.

From Nothing for Mind Over Matter

You want 2 Time-Lost Sapphire. For these, you will want to prioritize the following stats in this order:

  1. Upgrades to Very Large
  2. Notable Passives Give Minion Crit Damage
  3. Notable Passives Give Minion Crit Chance
  4. Increased Effect of Notable Passive Skills in Radius

For the Rare Jewels, prioritize the following stats in this order:

  1. Mana Regeneration
  2. Minion Crit Chance
  3. Minion Crit Damage
  4. Maximum Energy Shield

I have 8.4k ES. Having Convalescence is like having 2 flask charges that heal your ES. Nothing comes close to 1 shotting me.

Why doesn’t the verisium infusion always stay on me — it runs out?

The infusions run out after a time, and using Frost Nova consumes one infusion as well.
