Build Overview

Hit the favorite button if you enjoy this build <3

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

Equipment

BIGGEST PRIORITIES:

Sceptre: + Minion Levels (as high as possible)

Helmet: + Minion Levels (as high as possible)

Amulet: + Minion Levels (as high as possible)

Also, not feel obligated to stick to the exact items I have listed. This is just a guideline for the items and stats you should be getting. Just remember to pick up items and prioritize Maximum Life on armor pieces and Physical Damage on Weapons, Rings, and Gloves.

Also try to get as much % Lightning Resistance as possible in order to have a smooth fight against Jamanra even if that means dropping an Iron Ring to get a Topaz Ring.

Also if you have Lesser Glacial Rune or Lesser Storm Rune, you can use those to supplement for missing resists.

FIRST ASCENDANCY

Do your First Ascendancy AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! The moment you kill Jamanra the first time (at the Halani Gates), head straight to the Trial of Sekhemas so you can get your Djinns.

After that, you are pretty much all set for the rest of the campaign. Just use Kelari's Deception and Kelari's Brutality to clear mobs. For bosses, try to use Kelari's Deception back to back because you get 50% More Damage every time you use it in succession (up to 300%).

Use Pain Offering on your minions if you need more damage.

Bossing Rotation

Spam your Kelari's Brutality and your Skeletal Arsonist command skill to get Archon of Undeath. Once that procs, spam Kelari's Deception with the lowered cooldowns. Try not to use Kelari's Brutality in between because Kelari's Deception has a stacking damage buff that only works when you use it back to back.

Here is a video explaining it if you prefer that over text.

It depends how your gameplay feels, if your clear speed is OK don't follow the build 100%

Does "Ally in your presence deal 51% more damage" affect Kelari's skills too? Since he is not physically an ally, he exist just in forms of Command skills

SilentShadow•4d ago

Yes. Kelari has the "Minion" tag which states:

"Your allies include other players, minions, and any other entity that fights along side you and has it's own stats"

Hi everyone!

Does anyone knows why when I summon Tame Beast and I can't summon wolfs? There is an exlamation mark and it sais Cannot summon more companions. I have enough spirit but I can summon ONLY Tame Beast OR Wolfs. Doesn't affect any other minions(seems it minions and not companions).

You can only have one companion by default

the jewels needed are now 1k div+ each ffs

BoldStorm•9d ago

Only the For Nothing: Conduit is 1k+ div, which is the uber late game build. Which you do want because the notables there are much more useful, but that's in the min-max territory.

Late game time-losts are 200+ ish divs if you roll both minion mods, but going halfsies still gives you a decent damage boost.

I'm now lvl 93 and I bricked my build. I have pretty good damage and i was consistently freezing ground through death on minions with wolf pack. The same setup and a couple different nodes for survival on the tree. I did some gear upgrades, basically the same stats only higher ES and Spell damage, but now i cant freeze ground anymore.. I have no clue what i did to change it and now i can only use Brutality and Deception for main damage. Fracturing no longer works as the ground doesnt freeze anymore. What did I do? Any help is welcomed :D

I’m guessing you forgot to add runic power to your new gear, so you don’t have enough for powered by verisem to proc.

Check how much Ward is required on your Powered by Verisium. For example: My Gem is level 16 and requires that I have 115 Ward to use. Without the ward, you're not going to generate Verisium Infusions to create chilled ground with Ice Nova.
