My current favorite build is SpEE of Vehumet moving to Ice magic mid-late game.
My current game generated a Cloak of the Thief: +0 Quiet, SInv, Stealth+. Lacking anything else for cloak slot I put it on. I’ve got this a few times with my stabbers and while it was nice it didn’t really seem amazing.
But with my Ice mage? It’s amazing. Polar Vortex to clear the Vault:5 entrance doesn’t draw any adds. I can cast Polar Vortex in the Slime Pits, and monsters in LOS but outside the storm will actually sleep through it.
It’s let me spam Permafrost Eruption and Ozocubu’s Refrigeration with basically no regard for adds whatsoever.
