[0.11.0] Aimlessgun's Cold Caster Guide [Now with RF/PA section] Videos! [

Hey I'm just getting started with this build and I like it a lot. My question would be, is the Global Critical Strike Chance buff on daggers better than Spell Dmg/Spell Crit/Crit Multiplier? And to what extent?

For example:

would this be better than this:



or these?

I am on normal and I'll take HP nodes, if I do, later, but I don't feel like I need 'em now, I'll take em before I start a new difficulty while I farm for equip. Atm it's just faster to get the damage high and kill as fast as I can, with 250 ES I'm doing fine atm around lvl 30.

I see the creator of the guide took MP, so after all I really this is not a big deal.

I was thinking about taking a lot ES nodes and try that out, not taking life, I want to try that build, my other char is a marauder with a lot of HP so I want the opposite for defense.

Doesn't AOE nodes under witch and templar start affect Freezing pulse?

Freezing Pulse is a large projectile, not an AoE :)

Last few days i've been trying out Frost Wall and in my opinion it is great def spell, what do you think about it?

I tried it a little and didn't really like it that much. I should probably give it another shot in maps just to see (though in a group I think it will just piss off partymembers more than anything!)

It depends heavily on what stats you already have. Usually whatever stat you are weakest in will give the greatest returns.

To give you some very rough idea though, for balanced stats 5% spelldmg = 6-7% crit multi = 12-15% crit chance.

So I'm running something very similar to this build
only I'm using Dual Kriss Daggers (for now)

Question is: Does the Dagger DPS mean anything to our damage with FP?
One of my daggers is 35% spell damage, and the other is 17% spell damage
(i'm looking for better to replace the 17%)

And at lvl 35 my DPS is currently ~250 with lmp and faster projectiles on my FP

Also, I'm planning on running Armor / ES (so Templar equips I guess)

Is that viable as well?

I just haven't been very successful in finding good pure ES equipment.'

:::EDIT:::

How do I link to my current items in the forums?

I would like to share my daggers.

Sorry, haven't posted much in the forums to date.

Really like this build!

Do you think I can respec to it, on a EK build right now. Have 16 repec points and 8 orbs of regret.

Seems like it's doable, don't have time to relevel due to IRL stuff. Already have all the gems and good spell damage gear with decent mana.

heres my current build:

Thanks in advance!

All depends of player. I, for example, took 40 mp. Maybe this wasn`t best choice, but I wrote that before. High level monsters hit u very hard. If u have 3k eHP (HP+ES), +100 HP (with nodes)= ~3% of your total HP. Ofc, this is always something, but u won`t fell that. If u screw, u will die with or without this 100 hp. In 1 of 30 cases you will be lucky and be able to survive one more hit and much rarer this will save your life. 64MP is very good for me, because I don`t have very little amount of +MP or Mana Regen in my EQ.

Sorry for my English.

If your having mana problems like you said, dont level clarity anymore. Or wait till your reduced mana gem is upgraded a bit and then see how it affects you. Its all trial and error. Try find some decent +mp/mp regen gear. I personally am lvl 74 and run 3 auras(clarity,disicpline,grace) and only have like 300 mp left after but my regen is like +89 mana per second so i don't have issues.

I'm currently lvl 36 with this build running lvl 9 clarity

My Mana left after reserves is ~200 but my regen is 28

Without clarity I run myself out of mana easily, but with clarity on, I can spam FP to my hearts content =D

My regen is 43/sec with lvl 9 Clarity now

Try leveling it up, and if that makes things worse, just get a new clarity gem from a low level witch/Shadow
