Relic Question now that we have the netherlight crucible

Unread postby Schied Tue Sep 12, 2017 8:21 pm

Mod edit: Moved to Q&A
So I have a question about relic upgrading. I have a 915 Ice Age (+Flurry dmg) relic that I am thinking about replacing with a 930 Shield of Alodi (+Ice barrier) relic. The pure replace will net me +5 ilvl as well as swapping the traits. Here is the comparison in the netherlight crucible:

915 relic: I have light speed (+500 haste) and making my way to the frozen veins trait (IV cd reduction)

930 relic: I would choose between dark sorrows (damage proc 1 time per minute) and shocklight (+1500 crit during concordance procs). The tier 3 choices are frostbolt damage, flurry damage, and brain freeze proc chance. I would likely go with shocklight in order to grab the brain freeze proc chance as it is the best of the tier 3 options.

So all in all, if I keep the 915 relic I get: a 5th rank in Ice Age, +500 haste, a 5th rank in Frozen veins.

If I take on the 930 relic I get: +5 ilvl, a 5th rank in Shield of Alodi, 1,500 critical strike during concordance procs, and a 5th rank in Clarity of Thought.


Any advice out there?

Just on a per what you get choice I'd stay with the 915 because of how good Frozen Veins is but that's just me. All the shadow/light traits are pretty close to each other after the changes yesterday so I don't think that should be a deciding factor. Just my 2 cents.
