Spoiler 7/25/15 - Changed my gem links, added curse on hit poachers mark to herald of ice to generate 4 frenzy charges and gain extra flask charges. I still curse Frostbite to open on packs. Updated offense picture.



Build Idea and Execution

Spoiler







Currently I am sitting at 1000 intelligence. In total this gives me 100% Spell damage, 100-300 added base cold damage to icestorm, 500% duration to icestorm, making it last 4.2 seconds, and finally 200% ES in addition to the %es from the tree. Whispering Ice give insane bonuses to spell damage, skill duration, base damage and consequently high ES% due to stacking int.Currently I am sitting at 1000 intelligence.

You could do this build as a witch, but I feel scion is superior because of the extra jewel you get. This is my current tree at level 84 in tempest.You could do this build as a witch, but I feel scion is superior because of the extra jewel you get.

Jewels



Spoiler



These are not amazing jewels by any means, but they work for me at the moment!



Fertile Mind goes in the jewel slot near vaal pact, once you take vaal pact the gem gives you 74 int What you are looking for in jewels is to fill in your stats and resists where possible. I try to get int + dex or str on every jewel, resist where i need them, and cold or area damage is huge!These are not amazing jewels by any means, but they work for me at the moment!Fertile Mind goes in the jewel slot near vaal pact, once you take vaal pact the gem gives you 74 int

Gear



Spoiler Staff Spoiler

Obviously the only choice.

Helmet Spoiler



All you are looking for in a helmet is high int, high ES and one or two resists! CI Gear is fairly cheap in Tempest League so far I got this helmet for 1 chaosAll you are looking for in a helmet is high int, high ES and one or two resists!

Chest Spoiler



Paid 5 chaos for this chest, and added intelligence onto it. Ideally you want around this ES, a resist or two, and 40+ int. Another example of overly cheap gear because "CI IS DED OMG"Paid 5 chaos for this chest, and added intelligence onto it. Ideally you want around this ES, a resist or two, and 40+ int.

Gloves Spoiler

100+ ES, high int, and fill in resists with this slot!

Boots Spoiler

Same idea as the gloves, get 2 resists, int, move speed and anything over 100 ES works! Rings Spoiler

This is the most important slot of your gear. Getting your resists here is super easy. Try to look for two stone rings with high int, and 1 or 2 resists, and craft some flat ES on them if you can Amulet Spoiler

In my opinion, this is the Int Stacking dream. You also get to make up some dex and str here possibly. Look for 70+ int, and whatever resist you need, can elreon craft %es or flat es! You can also use a chayula here if you feel like the avoid stun while casting nodes are not enough for your liking.

Belt Spoiler



If you somehow manage to not need resist or strength in this slot, a is an amazing choice, and has great synergy with Vaal Discipline I use a Heavy Belt to make up the strength required for this build without wasting points on the tree. You can get a decent belt with 30+ ES and not miss too much in this slot, compared to a chain beltIf you somehow manage to not need resist or strength in this slot, ais an amazing choice, and has great synergy with Vaal Discipline Flasks Spoiler
