Thank you all for the feedback. I am currently updating this guide for 2.6.0, so make sure to check back from time to time.
" Surely will update this for 2.6.0 as the changes from the patch has significantly buff the DPS for the popsicle sticks. This build is a tried and test league starter build, feel free to hit 2.6 with this build :) " As do I, meta builds are so boring and nothing beats the sensation of pulling off weird builds. I actually have another RAT build planned as my league starter for 2.6. Still working on the details and once it works out, I will post the build guide for sure. " Ya, Pandemonius will definitely be rarer but it should not be too hard to acquire most people don't see the potential of this item having 2 unique mods and no negative mod. " I totally get you, the sheer fun of seeing everything frozen and shattering is so satisfying :D The chest armor requirement for this build is very loose and you can use almost any 6L armor. Hyri's Ire is not too bad cause it gives you cold damage to attacks. You can check out my profile and look for the character named "Beach_Lady". [3.7]Chaos Agnostic - CRAZY Life & Mana Sustain!!!:

Hi again! Thank you for the advice, i have two questions.
First one: I cant see the value of cold damage to attacks in the rings, its only 10-24 damage. Isn't better item rarity? Unless this 10-24 damage multiplies or something haha. The second one: I been trying Rain of Splinters Jewel. It only reduces totem damage by 30% and adds 2 projectiles, isnt 4 better than 2? Or im doing my math wrong or didnt count crit base or crit multiplier or other mechanich (im new). Thank you again, and i cant find your character in your profile, it only shows Coin_maker and Bone_Spear Last edited by chomak on Mar 2, 2017, 7:45:07 PM

" Flat cold damage (or any elemental damage) will significantly affect this build's DPS. So it is always a good choice to get as much of it as possible from your gear. Rain of splinter definitely works for this build to get more coverage with more projectiles. But with 3 totems, you dont't need more than 2 extra (total of 3) projectiles as there is more than enough projectiles to clear packs quickly. You can consider using splinter and dropping Skirmish quiver for a rare quiver with 35%+ weapon elemental damage and flat cold damage to attacks. My bad, forgot that I locked my characters. I have unlocked it, feel free to find Beach_Lady now :D [3.7]Chaos Agnostic - CRAZY Life & Mana Sustain!!!:

Hi! Thank you for the update for 2.6.
Just one thing. Now i have like 40 or 50 intelligence less and i cant use Herald of Thunder nor Curse on Hit, or Vortex. It changed of 150 intelligence to 106 because of the changes in the skill tree. What should i do ? | |
I ran this build in Breach but didn't have a chance to go total totem (ice shot with lesser multiple projectile without totem worked fine all the way into merc). Noobie question, where is the best place to farm Nuro's Harp and Skirmish? I've gotten my hands on lower level harps but always with bad stats from the labyrinth on normal - but it seems your harp is alot higher level. Continue with the labyrinth farming?

Quick question. Why link blind to HoT? I'm doing significant lightning damage, but I never seem to trigger the lightning bolts.

" You will need some Intelligence stat from your gear, there is no option unless you want to lose some damage nodes from your passive to get some intelligence. Also, try to get a well rolled Skirmish with 25 Intelligence, it helps. " Best place to get Nuro's Harp & Skirmish quiver is on poe.trade. Both items are barely used by anyone and is a low tier unique, so there is plenty for sale for 1-2 alchemy orb. Don't think this build a good lab due to the lack of hard physical damage mitigation. My suggestion is to grind maps as this build lets you do almost any and all map mods. " Sorry, my bad with the outdated links. Only Herald of Ice need to be linked with Hypothermia. HoT doesn't need any links.

Weird. I wonder why my HoT never triggers if yours does.
Thanks for the quick reply, btw. Loving this build! Had amazing luck with my Nuro's; got 6 sockets in 7 jewelers and 6 linked on my second fusing! |
