Astykon - The Great Freeze Pulse Build [ 1.3 ]
" Well passives may be bad and you really need good mana regen gear - ring, armor. You cant have enough mana regeneration with that Cloak of Defiance armor think about upgrade.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about stacking all the projectile speed, but man you get crazy coverage. Its pretty cool.
Have you thought about throwing in crit dmg or using some crit multi geaR? I think crit multi would give u about 60% more dps overall. I think it would let you 2 or 3 shot most packs... |

" Yes you may be right about 2-3 shot packs, but also you must think about surviving your damage not only stacking damage, damage and damage. I thought about critical gear but I feel like I achieved some kind of a balance - something that is strong enough to clear everything but not too hard hitting to don't get me killed by 1-2 shots. Faster Projectiles for this build in my opinion makes the build really really safe. I also bought Karui Ward amulet with double curse which allows me to do Elemental Weakness + Frostbite which makes the build amazing. Freezing and killing monsters like nothing. :) Guild leader of Apotheosis for more information about the guild:

Hi, im currently testing this build im lv 52 and it feels rly strong. But i was wondering if its possible to make the build lowlife+maybe rf? without using AA

Okay i played with this a bit, and i like it, but there are a few flaws. First of all imo you shouldn't play this as your first character in a new league or something like that, because you do actually need to invest a small(like really small, but still it's there)amount of currency for it to work, simply because you die really fast when you go EB, and you should do that asap because without EB even lmp is a pain to sustain. Secondly i noticed that this has no sustain. It's really hard to just use pots 24/7 so i tried life leech and it did amazing, i swapped it in for pcoc and i don't notice a big difference in my dps. Other than that it's really amazing, and you don't even need to do all of this what i wrote above if you play with someone who can tank for you. I probably wont play this in the 1month but i'll definitely come back to it in 4month leagues.

" I'm in the (early) process of trying this. I was worried about the sustain too. Did you have a 1% cold leech from amulet like the OP has when you tried it without Life Leech Gem? I'm hoping that makes it sustainable because I really like using PCoC haha. |

Currently in this build, level 78 now.
Thing is, i have no idea how you use blood rage, as you dont pick up a single HP regen note... this is my gear by the way.
Spoiler
Damage on FP = 2737.9 on a 0.34 casting speed, besides, i replaced faster casting with Spell Echo, as that gives more spell casting, and doubles the spell without cost. Thats without powercharges by the way. |

wouldnt this work better when starting as a witch? to get to the base of the witch tree you have to spend 3 points on flask effect nodes, if you started as a witch you could have 12% more cast speed instead of 30% more flask effect?

will this guide be updated to Forsaken Masters ?
would appreciate it very much =) |
|

Glad some people are trying this build. I'll update it for Forsaken Masters as soon as possible. Was kinda gone because some problems but doesn't matter.
P.S. I'm theorycrafting an amazing another never getting bored build. Stay tune :). Guild leader of Apotheosis for more information about the guild:
