From memory 4x raid int, 3pc DS, 4pc FW (2x raid prr & 2x cold SP rares), eotb USP, eotb INT, some other random INT.

I went for middle of the road DC's & more defenses for DoJ solo pushing
Fair but
I am pushing for no fail dcs i think with the current gear setup which imho is bis atm I can push for 128 in reaper if not more

After mobs in MD saving sometimes against 124 I realised that's it's important so I guess having like 5 more dcs is better than the extra 60 ish spell power gain

Wellspring, LGS sigil of spellcraft or psionic stacks from meridian fragment (meridian proc overwrites sigil for some reason), reaper power boost, bottled boost spellpower.

Probably others too
When you say lgs sigil of spell craft do you mean this?
|Belt |Legendary Green Steel Belt |Drops in: Altar of Fecundity, Manufactured Ingredient Recipes |
| |Equipment Tier 1: +22 Intelligence Skills, +151 Spell Points | |
| |Equipment Tier 2: +11 Intelligence Skills, +151 Spell Points | |
| |Equipment Tier 3: +6 Intelligence Skills, +75 Spell Points | |
| |Deck Curse: Curse of Major Intelligence | |

Nah, it's one of the clickie/active effects you can put on the 4th augment slot.

Yea higher than me. I hit 126 conjuration all up currently, but honestly feels like it's not enough sometimes.

I think it's working as intended
It does not stack with sets like flamecleansed etc

I am still not seeing this maybe I need a new thread.

Sets like anger of the avalanche/fury are artifact to certain types:
  • +6% Artifact bonus to Cold, Sonic, and Electric Spell Critical Chance
Those have always stacked with things like artifact universal like Elders

+6% Artifact bonus to Spell Critical Chance (Elders)
+6% Artifact bonus to Universal Spell Critical Chance (Deacon)

The solar gem is listed (I have not gotten one yet) as the same as Elders or Deacon:
Slotted Effect: +6% Artifact Bonus to Spell Critical Chance

Or does Deacon stack with Elders? The way they write these things is confusing AF.

Are you saying that Deacon acts like the Artifact sets to types like anger of the avalanche?

Deacon does not stack with elders solar augment stacks with deacon and elders but not something like avalanche

really, 4 frozen wanderer filigree set? what's the purpose of this build, to run r1 fast?

And dragonsoul? at 71% crit chance?

I'm speechless

Okay, so first things first.

4-piece Frozen Wanderer gives you 63 cold spell power, 5% cold crit chance, 14 PRR, and 2 INT, so I don't understand what's wrong with that filigree choice on Ice Alchemist.

Dragonsoul is for crit damage and reduction to spell cooldowns.

The purpose of this build is not to run R1 fast; it's an endgame build. I am a player that has soloed R10s before on alchemist.

I don't understand what that video you linked has to do with anything of this build, but ok.

You're speechless because you can't do better, but it's okay; one day you might get good. Let me know if I can help.

Please do post your endgame ice alch so I can rip it to shreds.
 
had a guildie post a SS of 1600 which was silly but fun
It has been a while since I did this tbh, but below is what I recall for the breakdown (excluding mythic/reaper bonuses which I did have numerous of) from the builder (Not on the build atm in a TR train)

Spellcraft: 148
Universal: 406
ESP Cold: 20
SotPoW: 10
Dragonborn: Drgon Heritage: 30
Bombardier: 25
Reaper Arcana: 36
Draconic Bloodline: White: 20
Coalescence: White: 5
Bring About Destruction: White: 10
Primal: Sky: 20
Guild Buffs: 15
BER of Frost: 148
Chained Elementals: 30
LGoMF Insightful: 73
LGS Quality: 37
LGS Exceptional: 37
Frozen Fili: 68

Standing: 1138

Temp/Non-perm:
Wellspring: 150
Frog from Shrine: 10
LGS Sigil: 30
Pyrite: 130
Spell power potions: 50
Eternal Flask of Pumpkin Coffee: 10
Shrine from TOEE: 68

Total: 1586

The reaper/mythic bonuses pushed it about 1600.
 
You have a pretty solid build here.

Only things I would recommend would be to throw in burst of glacial wrath at 24, its nice to have the extra utility as it is faster to cast than flash freeze and gold and it can freeze mobs that can not be cc'ed with GCS.
75 sp from intensify is a ~5% buff so its still solid, imo also as someone who solos r10s and raids, BOGW has more util, up to preference though. I know people that don't use BOGW and do just fine as well.
imo accelerate is unneeded as for the reasons Vox mentioned.
Embolden is up to you, but imo 128 is good enough and you can get a different feat out of it. I take epic mental toughness for an additional 1% crit chance, you can also take defensive tumble (not great but decent) or epic (insert save here) for no fail.
Also not a fan of arcane actions but up to the play style, could get another 5% crit multi instead.
Id recommend swaping to vistani for deflect arrows.

Have sentience swaps for different content. 128 is overkill for older stuff + the occasional raids.
Using 8 MD items and 6 lunar/solar augs will be a PITA to farm so I wish you good luck on that, but its still very solid.

I feel the build is lacking a runearm from macrotechnic, fatesinger manaless strike combo, and call lightning storm + draconic snapshot using stormsinger cold + lightning + sonic multi element setup, so it doesn't have high single target manaless nuking for end game raiding on reaper. It seems like a solid leveling build, dungeon mostly trash mob dps, and endgame offhealer with primal + EA though.

i use ruin/gruin with 3 debuffers for single target dps

i wouldn't take this build or any caster for that matter for most push raids

however i want to try your suggestion just two questions tho what runearm would you use instead of orb (current orb provides +2 quality dc and affirmation so i would need to find that elsewhere)

what tree/trees would you give up for macrotechnic or fatesinger

Swapping mantles on call lightning storm is kind of a hassle imo, i tried it before, takes kind of a lot of time in which you could be killed, especially in push raid scenario's.
What runearm would you suggest? I know breaking the bank is a great one but that's fire only.
I'm working on a fire alch setup with warblade+breaking the bank, seems pretty solid sustained dps wise, probably a lot more then doing cold.

the build is also Missing fatesinger +Ender to Kill people with heals or alternatively Trolling an MD raid and then leave :)
