That's unfortunately not something that can be fixed on the Icy-Veins side of things, as it is a bug in the display for the items not updating when mouse-over-ing an item. If you click on the item and follow the hyperlink it will take you to the correct item.

How can I do more damages...Can only solo up to GR 63?

[Guest Mummha]

When you mouse over Shrouded Mask it shows the Triumvirate instead.

I manage solo 65 with this. Maybe 66 67.

Does anyone have any insight on pushing past the 60-65 greater rift limit this build has in terms of damage? I've seen two others ask the same question, so I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. Elites take way too long to kill on 60+ greater rifts.

It's your gear that is holding you back.  Getting ancient version of your set and, more importantly, your weapon will help push you into the 70's.  Getting more area damage and getting a better compass rose should also be goals.

Yea, I thought my compass rose was crap compared to what I could have. Good point on the weapon; I'm sure that will be a big boost, for sure! Thanks for the input :)

Getting Ancient on all 6 pieces set are tough.  So far, only been able to get 3.  Got to 66 but that's it.  

[Guest Dchiad]

I don't have too many ancient pieces (3 to be exact), and I'm soloing 70. I replaced unstable for glass cannon, since my main problem was DPS, not survivability. As I go up, I'll need to swap back, but with halo and slow time, along with ice armor, I can take a little toughness out.

[Guest huldu]

If I am not mistaken, which I doubt, this is actually the build of the top tier wizards doing gr(solo) in their high 80's currently. It's obviously a game about gear so you can assume them to be quite decked out in the finest of ancients with the most optimal rolls and highest paragon levels. 

[Guest Caerius]

Great build, I love it and has quickly become one of my favorites. A few alterations I made to it was abandoning orb of the depths for fragment of destiny in the cube and abandoning the pantheon defenders for ashnagarrs blood bracers. I swapped out chain explosion for magic weapon with deflection and swapped illusionist for dominance passive. The sheer upkeep on barrier shields most of the time makes sure things never get through the barrier just spamming spectral blades and arcane orb. Can do rank 65+ GR's with one ancient legendary in slot, I left everything else as deadsets build design. May be an alternate idea for some to try. Also tried swapping convention for rrog and wearing crown of the primus, does seem to be an overall slight improvement, but I never cared for using rrog too much. Spectral blades gets rather beastly, mine do roughly around 400 million a shot at roughly 4 APS with this setup so it contributes a good deal to arcane orbs damage. Makes cutting through the higher rifts easier, and the barriers pretty much let you not worry about much of anything.

 great swaps in my opinion.i tested it and farmed 70 with no problems at all

I finally found a good compass rose.  Sadly, not a perfect one as I'm being forced to choose between area damage and crit chance.  it rolled with 20% area damage and I'm wondering if I should reroll for 6% CC

 

Without equipping the ring, I'm at 53 CHC and 126% area damage so basically, choices are 59 and 126 or 53 and 146.

Can you list all of its stats? There might be another suitable stat to drop for Crit Chance. Area Damage is pretty important in the build, so I'd rather you don't drop a high natural roll of it like that.

Sorry. I wasn't clear in my original post.  The ring rolled with socket, int, movement speed, and crit damage.  So i rerolled movement speed and got 20% area damage.

For me It is a challenge to obtain pieces from endless walk that have 2 out of 3 desirable characteristics rolled. Is there a solid alternative to use for this build?

Endless Walk can be a pain, true. Probably the closest thing would be an arcane damage Stone of Jordan and either a Hellfire with a strong defensive passive (i.e. Blur), or a Moonlight Ward, as it naturally rolls high arcane damage.

[Guest Pennarin]

Other players say Parthan Defenders no longer proc on freeze since a recent update. But this build is 2.4.1-ready. So who is right? Any video that proves it?

[Guest d2]

For bracer- What about using the New Ashnaggar's blood bracer instead?  Wouldn't this bump up the ice armor?

Ashnagarr's Blood Bracer

 

 

 

[Deadset 108]

APDs still proc, else many other builds that depend on its freeze proc would be broken as well - Furious Charge Barbs, Archon Wizards, etc. :)

 

Ashnagarr's is sadly inferior to APDs when the latter are played around correctly, as Ashnagarr's offers a limited amount of shield vs. APD's straight damage mitigation that scales with density.

[Guest Pennarin]

From what I remember seeing, when Parthans proc they create an icon of the bracers with a countdown (or some such). Anyone can test when they see the icon? On stuns, and stun-free freezes as well?

Sadly APDs do not offer any indication of their uptime. I hope it gets added in a future patch, considering the number of builds that practically rely on this item for their survival.

Crown of the primus instead of Aquila Cuirass for Kanai's Cube
