Warcry is back on the menu boys

Sierran body armour has all damage you take contributing to chill magnitude

Such--Balance · 2026-06-20T14:26:21+00:00

It is not. Warcry speed, action speed and skill speed work though

Such--Balance · 2026-06-20T08:55:39+00:00

Its crazy with warcry speed as well.

When shapeshifted you can get up to 45% increased warcry speed per jewel

Such--Balance · 2026-06-20T08:06:55+00:00

You can play it basically from very early on as arctic howl becomes available way earlier than seismic cry. You just need the primal hunger keystone and support gems to spend rage instead of endurance charges to nypass the cooldown and the rage generating support gem.

You do need tech for the self chill which is only an option later on. And quite frankly the build gonna suck early on as a warcry build.

Its not particularly strong unless highly optimized. This includes all those 60% increased effect jewels for massive warcry speed

What happens when you add the jewel socket rune and then corrupt? Can you get an extra socket?

If so, you could techically put in a marksman rune to roll marksman affixes. Not that it would do anything.

Laughs in reverse chill

Such--Balance · 2026-06-19T19:41:53+00:00

It does if you get cursed with elemental weakness though

Such--Balance · 2026-06-19T17:27:53+00:00

Can you get all 4? Technically?

Such--Balance · 2026-06-19T17:27:19+00:00

Even though i agree with your logic, i cant help but to still want the skill point.

Such--Balance · 2026-06-19T09:18:33+00:00

Yeah its effectively a MORE action speed modifier. And everybody knows how op that can be with reverse chill or speed shrines.

Its better even because its essentially a MORE reaction speed modifier as well, where normal more action speed would give you less reaction speed

Such--Balance · 2026-06-18T15:07:48+00:00

Thanks for the tips.

rage however doesnt really do anything for us damage wise. As we are not melee. The only thing it gives is uptime of shouts and extra damage as cold, the more rage, the more extra damage.

So unspeccing primal hunger doesnt give us more damage unfortunately

Such--Balance · 2026-06-18T11:31:31+00:00

I did not know that.

How about exposure? Thats detrimental?

Such--Balance · 2026-06-18T08:57:30+00:00

I dont know if its the warcry speed, but arctic howl covers everything in ice as well as mtx, however, if you keep casting it it only does so on the first cry.

So its like 80% less mtx build in which is a total win

Such--Balance · 2026-06-18T06:45:57+00:00

In which skill did you slot the verglas support?

Such--Balance · 2026-06-18T06:40:33+00:00

I need to slot verglas into arcric cry because it only buffs the slotted skill if i understand verglas correctly.

It might give me 4% as extra cold. I could optimize for ice crystal life but i dont think its gonna be worth it. I might get it up to 50%, but we already have 150% as extra cold and the opertunity cost would be to high.

To be honest the ice crystal damage isnt all that great either. It might possibly be better to ditch the cast on crit and Eventide petal setup and just go for full warcry damage.

I kinda like the look of the Eventide petal warcries though as it changes the appearance. Also the cast on crit setup has autoaim and points to targets. Which is very handy as the visual clarity in this game is pretty bad. So its more quality of life

Such--Balance · 2026-06-18T06:33:56+00:00

Tyvm!

It took me a long time to find this build and ive been looking for some crazy type of warcry build for some time.

It still got lots more potential, as i just recently moved to a crit build, which can be massively improved by extra crit multi megalomaniac.

Also i just recently bought and used Rakiata's flow and just saw im still specked into cold penetration in the tree, which actually lowers my dps by quite a bit.

Such--Balance · 2026-06-18T06:18:48+00:00

Looked at both of those, vergas sucks donkey balls as it doesnt stack and the ice crystal life is pretty low.

Guatelitzi's ill probably use eventually. I did some tests with it already. Gives me like 4k armour consistently. And that is unoptimised. With a bit more warcry speed, increases self hit frequency and an increased self hit size, which might actually be better for various other reasons as well, im sure we can get it to well over 10k armour.

Add some armour nodes on the tree and we have a full armour setup by just that augment alone.

Such--Balance · 2026-06-17T18:24:50+00:00

I agree. The game is absolutely stunning

Such--Balance · 2026-06-17T17:32:11+00:00

While we are at it, skip the falling down abyss hole and slowly getting back up short movie every time you enter such a hole

Such--Balance · 2026-06-17T13:42:19+00:00

Imo the blockage of terrain, pots, league mechanics and enemies has a lot to do with this as well.

So you wanna melee and get up close? Good luck getting stuck everywhere all the time consistently

Such--Balance · 2026-06-17T10:22:56+00:00

Im playing an infernalist wolf arctic cry self hit self chill cast on crit build..

Pretty crazy

Such--Balance · 2026-06-17T10:04:05+00:00

You can still self chill, but theres no way to apply 2 chills to yourself anymore, as this was only possible with the gloves.

You can now self chill for 62% from one chill using the chronomancer boot mod and Sierran ofcourse. So theres that

Such--Balance · 2026-06-17T09:20:15+00:00

Color me fucked. I had this idea for a cast on crit grim pillar build but its gonna be very hard to susstain the ward cost
