Has anyone used Frostblink of Wintry Blast as a damage skill? I hooked it up to a mine build to get around the cast time and ran into a fair amount of clunk that probably sinks the build. But, the one time I ran across an echo shrine, the clear went from serviceable to amazing. It was similar to Consecrated Path Totems but a lot faster and not gay. Is it a lost cause to try to get repeats on this type of build? I know attacks have Fatal Flourish, but I can't think of anything for spells.

Can't support mine skills. Nor trap skills for that matter, but I venture nothing on the gem description says anything about it.

Maybe. Have you used FoWB as a traversal skill? It seems to be popular among Archmage builds and I'm not sure why. It doesn't get that "first cast" benefit that most other travel skills, even Leap Slam, gets. So you have to invest heavily in cast speed for it to not feel like shit. Which then encourages you to spam it instead of what I prefer, frequent cast interspersed with walking, letting you aim and get your bearings. It's almost like you're playing Flicker Strike when spamming it.

It's popular among Archmage builds because you are stacking cast speed anyway AND you can get double tormented wands. It's essentially instant cast at the high end of gear.

Early on it's just a nice traversal skill because it doesn't have a cooldown and you are dual wielding wands so you don't really have any other non-cd movement abilities.

That this hasn't been reposted here probably speaks to the lack of enthusiasm for this event. Seems very weird just how many they are offering at once. I might give Phrecia(but no idols) a try, depending if LE still is entertaining at that point or not. There were a couple builds I wanted to try running through a proper endgame:

Boneshatter(of Carnage!) Ancestral Commander with Penance Mark Ring
Generic Attack Build Daughter of Oshabi with Queen of the Forest and Dreamfeathers.

wont for quite awhile, something about poe1 animation rigs will all have to be updated before they could implement it.

I took one character to 90 during Sentinel and quit so that one is kind of tempting but I don't particularly care for any of the new ascendancies and don't really want to spend a month on a temporary league with an actual release approaching. The other big issue with all of these is

I don't want to interact with Kalguur at all. I don't want to upgrade the town or do any of the activities and I absolutely positively do not want to farm any fucking gold. Even if I show up planning to ignore it I'll start doing a few upgrades just to do some disenchanting to access the town recombob machine and combine it with Sentinel recombinators and if I'm going to do that I should play something solid to blast hard and before I know it I'm doing nothing I actually want to do.

I liked Sentinel league. I had 3 characters to level 90-95. Kind of in the "time to move on" mode now. I liked the league a lot but mostly due to the currency exchange deal that was introduced.

Sentinel league was one of their best. Especially when considering it was made during their borrowing of resources for PoE2. Clumping up mobs in the first part of the Glacier map reminded me a lot of D2 cow area.

Sentinel was the start of the lootsplosion slippery slope we can't get off now. I got something like 7 raw exalts in a non-juiced alch n go maps without altars in one day. That was like probably more than I'd get raw in an entire league before. It felt cool, but now you can't tamper down from that and people expect to hit that type of reward system one week into a league.

Recombinators were obviously cool, but the amount of people recombinating and the people talking lovingly about them who didn't actually DO any recombinating is approaching "Harvest 1.0" numbers. There was the trickle down effect a bit from recombinators, but not really because it was just old items they outgrew after making new ones, because if a half decent item survived but wasn't the target craft it just got put back into the crafting cycle.
