What's the best way to get a weapon like that? Frigid/Aetheric fossile crafting?

As you only need the cold multi on the weapon use alteration till mod pops up, regal and than annul.
You can use the beast implicid doublicating for the blue base with the cold mod on it as to be safer for the annulment.
Just did a new one yesterday:

You might need a lot of alterations for it as I spammed too much as it's worth it as the old weapon was fine enough, so be prepared to waste some currency :)

Good luck!

Hi there, for what reason did you go for a low-life build apart from Pain Attunement?
To run Clarity ?
I'm just trying to justify the loss of CI, and more ES.
Dont get me wrong, not trying to bash on your build
Pain attunement looks great on paper for me ~300k more dps. I'd lose about 3k ES, and be vulnurable to chaos damage though.
Watched your U-Elder kill, was scary to see one ball almost one-shotting you(nice music by the way :P).

Hey, first no problem I don't feel "bashed" ;) and I'm open for criticism.
The reason is I can run 2 aura curses which feels really good for survivability.
I have 11k ES which is more than enough as I need.
I also could go higher but it's not neccessary.
My last 20 uber elder kills were deathless so I'm carrying also a friend through.
I'm currently at Delve lvl 500 and have no problems.
long story short, Low life is for more dmg and double curse aura :)

Hope I could answer your question.
Cheers

You can achieve double curse with Solstice Vigil too :)
For damage, I guess it would be a bit more. Its already strangely high, for these kind of builds.

I guess i'm just not ready to drop chaos immunity, and alot of es.
Close to 17k right now. I need moar!

Thanks for the guide, this build makes the endgame bosses a joke! I have 11k es and 1mil dot dps so I think low life is worth it over ci for the damage as we're already super tanky as is.

Things I've done so far: Deathless uber elder and shaper. Only at 300 depth so far so I'll keep pushing down but I expect it'll do great.

Anything else I can upgrade?

I would like to leave my review on the build

First, for the first time ever I managed to make Uber Elder.

I had a golemmancer and resolve to switch to that buidl and I do not regret it. It is slow, but very OP!!!

Thank you :)

This is my current gear (i spent arount 15ex on it)
