[2.0] SuperNova - whole screen 137K DPS Ice Nova | Atziri ez GGG featured

Speaking of links, did you check what are the most efficient 3L, 4L and 5L variations with this build?

Currently at level 15 I use a 2L but going to 3L soon, would love to have more DPS..

-edit: can't tell if I failed and forgot to 2L the wand or my phone's browser doesn't show links, lol.

I would recommend using freeze pulse/something else until you are a higher level

What about using double dagger (80% crit chance) instead of the staff if we can't have it, or double wand ?

Why the recent changes? Isn't 17% Flat Damage better than ~20 Critical Hit Chance and why do you use Minion Health and Resistances, doesn't the Golem have 100% uptime anyway?

3L IN + Echo + cold pen
4L IN + Echo + cold pen + Conc
5L IN + Echo + cold pen + conc + fast cast


When leveling you supplement dam with fire trap or flame totem.

I'm still playing with golems. I like the super high crit because it applies all status effects which is a lot of hidden dps tho.

I use minion life and elemental resits so minon survives boss fights. I don't have time to recast in fight.

Why are you running cold to fire over cold pen? Wouldn't cold pen do more actual damage, despite cold to fire showing up as more on the tooltip?

At very end game no and I cant gem swap to flame surge with cold pen against super boss because it cond pen doesnt help. I swap C2F with FS and EMP to Fire pen vs super boss.

This setup is just more versatile and i need two reds for best single target because flame surge destroys GC.


Second with excellent AA changes we mitigate a lot of fire dam on reflect

Third you apply burn status effect too now for hidden dps. Shock, freeze and burn every crit.

DPS wise on IN pen loses since cold pen can add ~35% dps at best case
57K with pen and EMP x 1.35 = 77K
88K with C2F and EMP

Finally
mana cost 177 with 1.3 setup and 139 with new

Wouldn't a level 1 CWDT be better or have you tried it already and it doesn't keep the Golem up 100%? Btw, really nice build, been using this since 2.0 and I like it :D
EDIT: I'm not in Phase 2 yet. You don't even really take DMG with that block chance right? CWDT would be useless then :/

crit starts at 20% lvl 1 and goes to 30% lvl 20

cwdt 1 wont allow lvl 20

not to mention golem does some dps and you dont cast in cwdt set if not taking damage so its not 100% uptime

Do you think shock nova be just as good as ice?
