It depends. It works very well for cows, but losing out on teleport is a big deal. I've been a fan of the full set for a long time, so I have probably fallen into the "coolness trumps usefulness" trap. Used full set for pits in 1.10 when enigma was just a fantasy for most people, with great success. I imagine full set, with dweb torch and anni would be really good for clearing cows.Still not worth wearing in full, however.
jellySo, saturday night, nothing planned, just doing some difficult sudoku (failing, for the most part) and watching more or less random and mindless stuff on youtube while having a few beers too many.... Got the urge to check out the new quick cast thing, and how I would like it. I liked how it applied to CtA, but for teleporting, I hated it immensely. However, I decided to keep doing the test run. Turned out to be a very good desicion:

This marries up pretty damn well with that 15% nightwings from before! Going to have to read up on cold sorcs and their appliances.
Congrats and glad you got a great roll too! One of my favorite items in this game along with griffon's!So, saturday night, nothing planned, just doing some difficult sudoku (failing, for the most part) and watching more or less random and mindless stuff on youtube while having a few beers too many....

@ipsilantee controller isn't nearly as bad for blizzard as some people say IMO. With a little practice it's pretty intuitive.Congrats and glad you got a great roll too! One of my favorite items in this game along with griffon's!
@Triple Helix yess that's amazing!! Grats! You're making me want to try my blizz sorc out with a controller
Found a 5% bk ring from Meph a couple hours ago while running for the mf/rf tournament!
Have you tried any other builds and found that the controller works really well, maybe even better than keyboard/mouse? I have an xbox controller, so maybe I should try it with my riftsin. She doesn't use any targeted attacks. Edit...akshully, Dragon Flight is targeted. I'll have to try it out...@ipsilantee controller isn't nearly as bad for blizzard as some people say IMO. With a little practice it's pretty intuitive.
One con is that you can't easily lay down a blizzard between you and a monster coming toward you (Andy comes to mind) -- it usually grabs on and targets that monster directly with the inviso-cursor.

Very nice sword there!@snickersnack it's been so long since I've played with M&K I couldn't accurately say. But any up close and personal melee (martial arts assassin, zealot, etc.) or anything directly targeting a monster (fireball, lightning fury, frozen orb, etc.) feels very good.
@ipsilantee I run Pindle a lot with blizzard, even at /p8. Fire a couple of glacial spikes and then blizzard and it's over soon if Pindle's not CI. Now trying to get the invisible cursor over Pindle himself to see if he's CI is difficult.
To stay on topic also, here's an Oath with a semi-decent base I finally found a bit ago. After numerous cow levels mixed with AT runs today I've managed to find only one phase blade, and it was blue... so still no Grief!

That's my barb's name, in modified leet speak. Similar to "Lil Tee', but it's "Lel Tee".Well done with your oath sword, Triple Helix!
However, regarding your accumulated gold in the screenshot: I couldn't help but notice that your leetspeak spelling of "elite" is not quite accurate...
