[3.6] BSC Winter Orb~2 min UE~Ridiculous Clear Speed~ Updated PoB

so I was wondering is this the best setup for the crafted weapon in 3.6?


if i get the 20% elemental as extra chaos damage then I craft those


1P>46-50% increased Spell Damage +Gain 4% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage.....1 Ex
2P>Gain 6-7% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Dmg.........4 Vaal
3S>Can have multi - 2ex
4S>11-13% increased Cast Speed +10% chance to gain Arcane Surge on kill....4 C
5S>4-5% chance to deal Double Damage.............1 Div

or was there some changes?

Where is the source of phys damage coming from though? Am I missingsomething blatant?

I hate to pull the wiki but: "Hatred casts an aura that provides bonus cold damage based on the physical damage of the caster and their allies" and the skill text also agrees with this.

Aside from the % increased cold damage I dont see where Hatred gets the raw phys to convert from?

Sorry if I am being dumb - just trying to learn.

The updated Hatred gem is now:
You and nearby allies gain (16-25)% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage
You and nearby allies deal (14-18)% more Cold Damage

The Physical conversion is useless yes. But the 2nd part of the gem is quite good for a cold caster build. For me its a solid dps increase over a herald + spider combo.

I did some experimenting, but unless I am missing some %reduced reserved nodes somewhere, I do not have enough unreserved mana to channel a full 12 stacks on orb.
Yea, it reserves a little more mana i have heralds and hatred with a lvl 3 enlighten to help. That or make sure you get a -X cost of skills on a ring. So that your channel barely costs anything.
Why does no one here recommend the profane or heathen wand base for weapons, when it has the highest winter orb POB dps and also is much nicer to play as you have an extra 20-28% cast speed?
Are bubonic's actually still worth it in 3.6 ? with this build should I be using those still or trying to get some solid boots with high life resists MS etc?

any replies appriciated.

For those who don't know, cast speed increases the frequency of WO's projectiles, so basically it gives you dps as well. Damage wise it's not as good as the 40% ele base, about 2% loss per weapon, but the ability to recharge WO stacks quicker is quite nice, and i feel like it's worth the tradeoff.

Also, i see a lot of people going with chaos as cold, but PoB says that cold damage to spells is better. It's showing me 5% more dps per weapon.

Hey!

Trickster is almost exclusively better this league. About 5 times the damage. But ele still clears way better and is capable of doing everything.
