[3.5] Occultist Vortex/Cold Snap ES/CI - Deathless and Safe Uber Elder and T16's
Hi guys.
Idarroc, thanks a lot for the build an also for the really good guide. I like the crafting part a lot.
For me, the build works fine and I kill shaper and elder without problems, didnt try UberElder, I want to improve first.
And here comes my problem, I dont understand why my POB damage is not even half yours. I know my gear isnt really good, but I think I miss an important detail.
Plz help me.
Can you post some good unique suggestions please? I have crazy ocd and like to see perfect rolls or even numbers and crafting my own equips will require too much money if I want to go perfect only..
First of all i want to thank you for the guide, i love the fact that you include how to craft your own gear, that ends up saving people alot of currency.
Yesterday i got my first uber kill with this build, had no ideea what was going on but i never even got close to dying, so having as much es as i do was not even necesary for a deathless kill.
I am abit lost now as to where to go from here, been trying to make small improvements but aside from a new weapon and chest i dont know what else to aim for, and those would be very costly improvements. I have been bouncing between a 2nd curse with solstice vigil, enfeeble with aspect of the spider and frostbite with aspect of the spider.
My question is what is the best curse setup between enfeeble, aspect of the spider, frostbite and temp chains (solstice vigil). I also want to add that mana regen is no issue for me.
Spoiler
also if anyone can give me any pointers to what i can improve, anything is welcome, its the first char i complete the game with and i still feel like a noob in some areas. (i know i can get more es if i enchant quality on chest but the instant heal is too op and saved me alot of xp in close to death situations)
Not sure why you'd use Frostbite. Pen only affects hits.
frostbite reduces cold resistance, same as a key passive of this build, elemental equilibrium, and a key skill, frost bomb, there might be a cap as to how low can frost resist go on enemies, but im sure cursing enemies for -40% reduced resist to cold damage is powerful when op suggest 9% reduced cold resist on helmet is a good roll, a few exalts worth of a roll

Can this build use only Cold Snap? Too much active buttons.
It uses literally two buttons(one most of the time). Vaal cold snap/Vaal discipline aren’t even needed, it’s like a luxury if you want to clear faster or to burn down a boss. So, two buttons is too much?

Can the build run all map mods? (i.e elemental reflect)
No, it struggles with ele reflect. The first hit of vortex can kill you, if the pack is big enough. The DoT doesn’t reflect, so you technically could lure mobs into vortex. Personally, I don’t run reflect and if I have to for map completion, I roll the mod with sextants that prevents reflect damage.

This build has zero uniques required. You can use Atziri’s Reflection(30ex) and Solstice Vigil, but those are luxuries and personal play style. If you’re super rich, just buy items with insanely high ES. Like a 900+ ES chest piece.

edit: hmm, my bad, Frost bite IS - resist, not penetration.
However I'd still maintain the build has plenty of resist reduction.
