A Chill Build for Chill People: Whispering Ice Trickster

[@SchwingyGaming]

Go read Kelvynn’s forum guide for ALL of the details and crafting steps for all the gear. It is excellent. www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3294484

[@PrismaSigma]

This was super thorough while staying concise, great job putting this together. I learned a few things myself. Thanks again for the plug! A couple very small things to add: -The AoE reduction from Intensify actually further boosts the single target DPS because it causes the shards to fall closer together and overlap more. -Since you have Culling Strike anyway from the jewels, you could drop the gem for an Enhance gem in your CWDT while staying with the same colours.

[@SchwingyGaming]

Great point with the intensify. I shoulda mentioned it but it didn't even cross my mind! And yeah, that's a great point, culling strike is very much a dead link at this point. Thanks for pointing that out! I'm glad I had a look at your video first to familiarize myself with some alternative options to the build. The 4 or 5 curse setup with anathema is wild.

[@Commandelicious]

And a very chill video, thank you.

[@ADTR945]

First I have heard of this build and it looks cool! Im a fan of builds that have lots of moving parts that come together.

[@SchwingyGaming]

Yeah this is definitely one of those builds. What's also great is that it starts out with so little and actually functions, but it's not very tanky early on.

The classic: Ice dancing queen

[@LordNow01]

i played this build a while ago as a scion. was my first character to lvl 100. seems stronger now

[@CoC4Life-rs5qd]

You can stack action speed to go faster. Actionspeed is not restricted by the boots.

[@SchwingyGaming]

Gotcha, I can't think of many ways to get action speed on trickster that don't involve boots but I haven't done my homework.

[@CoC4Life-rs5qd]

@@SchwingyGaming All good, a lot of people miss this when it comes to these boots. Very easy way for actionspeed would be onslaught, to just name one

[@SchwingyGaming]

@@CoC4Life-rs5qd Yeah that makes sense. I guess I just assumed the stampede boots set your speed and that's that. But it is good to know that action speed works.

[@jamming8519]

I've been playing for a few weeks now. I'm nowhere near being able to do this. Also I really don't understand any of this or how it fits together. I didn't even know most of the gear you're using even existed!

[@SchwingyGaming]

Yeah that's totally fair! I wouldn't recommend the build for players that are as new to the game as you are! There are a ton of moving parts in this one so while you might be able to get it started, you'd probably hit a wall at some point in your progression. That said, if you like how the gameplay looks with it, I say go for it. The only way to learn is to try! Read Kelvynn's guide for more information on leveling and the order you want to get gear in. It's all there.

[@mariofelipe740]

My friend, it was possible run it whitout CWC and instead run it with CWS with immutable force? I think u dont need the point at Energy Shield Mastery "chance to stun is appliead to energy shield instead life" and put it on jewel socket... Maybe it will work like a walking simulator and we do not use a cyclone (one more space for another skill) and we could use a another boots. This idea makes sense? Is it possible?

[@SchwingyGaming]

Off the top of my head that sounds pretty hilarious. It's a really interesting idea. I'd love to see if anybody else can chime in on this? I think it would be possible, but I might be forgetting some key element that makes it not viable while being ES based instead of the popular life based cast when stunned builds.

[@SchwingyGaming]

I am definitely going to try it out!

[@mariofelipe740]

​​@@SchwingyGaming normally we use Valiryum Ring to apply chance to stun to our ES. Since u use CI, your Life is 1, so every hit will stun... Maybe u sholdnt have a minimum of evasion, because u dont wanna evade those hits... Idk IF there is some mech like peteified blood or peogenesis that could be applied to ES. Maybe this could be a problem since we will take all dmg. Idk if block chance trigger CWS either, but if it triggers, change for a block build with CWS maybe possible

[@mariofelipe740]

​​@@SchwingyGamingi already subscribed ur Chanel and i ll follow ur next videos to see if it will be a fail or a win build. (I dont have the knoledge neither the currency to make this build run) 😂😂😂

[@davidestrella40]

Is there a mageblood version of this?

[@icecoldsnakeYT]

my brain hurts trying to figure out what is happening as you spin through the enemies. On Screen clutter... oh boy. Maybe I should try this build.

[@SchwingyGaming]

It's definitely an enjoyable one to try out :D

[@Extavia_qt]

What MTX is that green explosion after killing enemies?

[@SchwingyGaming]

Yup that's the Herald MTX: Automaton, put on herald of ice!

[@apostleofd119]

Tried it at affliction, and to me it didn't feel good even with 11k ES. Is there any difference now?

[@SchwingyGaming]

Well one obvious change that comes to mind is that we have better energy shield and evasion bases so we end up with more ES more easily! Damage and playstyle-wise, I think it probably hasn't changed that much.

[@hrvojemilicevic3309]

You need 15k+ ES and more dps for better instant overleech to tank hits.

[@MrAsianPeaches]

Hey if you are looking for a guide to craft necrotic armours sheeepishly put out a video and reddit post on how to craft BIS trickster chest with triple T1 energy shield int and space for the increased attribute craft

[@JayM928]

I have been missing cyclone builds with tasty automaton herald explosions. Definitely have fallen out of favor.

[@SchwingyGaming]

Yeah big time. It never gets old though!

[@dawkkamyk]

Thx for good video and i have question what is this build DPS ?

[@SchwingyGaming]

I would like to know too!

[@SchwingyGaming]

In more helpful answer... I saw someone say that for a rough approximation you take your average hit damage and multiply it by 23. I have no idea if that's accurate, but if so, my poeninja warrior pinnacle boss dps is upwards of 30mil when enemies are on lowlife. 15mil when bosses are above 50% HP. Again, I have no idea if this is even close to accurate.

[@oskabravo4953]

tried doing this build but when was out of acts realised that people wanted 10+ divs for even the basic of items needed for int stacking lol

[@SchwingyGaming]

Hmm I think you might've been looking for items that were too close to being very endgame items if all you're finding were 10+ div gear. That's not to say that INT stacking items are cheap, they're not. But by the time you get out of acts, you should be able to start saving up for budget friendly options and progress your way up to the bigger and better items. As I believe I mentioned in the video, start off with the whispering ice, and an astramentis, the stampede, and then just fill the rest of your slots with items that have high Int and some resistances, on energy shield bases. It should be very achievable. Simply throwing essences of spite on random ES base items you find should be good enough to get going and save up for the bigger ticket stuff.

[@SchwingyGaming]

Factually true.

[@Gandora1488]

flicker strike aegis trickster

[@midknightcrisis8612]

This, but with summon holy relic of conviction as main damage. Flicker with splash, multistrike and ancestral call for manual frenzy generation (swap for static strike on bosses)

[@SchwingyGaming]

I'm tempted to swap over to it. It's the one build I'm considering. I'm worried I won't like it though... Still never played flicker.

[@AndThenShwarmaAfter]

lol 2k int and still looks like single target from fucking Chain Hook 🥴🤣
