if you switch out the Void Batterys do you still rely on power charges?
was thinking of investing some currency in wands

Depends, how much crit multiplier do you have. If 600%, then every power charge gives you a lot. If 300%... meh.

Since the power of VBs scales i cant give you accurate reccomendations. But you can compare by yourself. Just remember, that VB gives +1 charge by it own (and you wield two of them). You really dont want to spend tons of exalts for a little increase in power. And for major increase you need really good ones.

Perfect profane wand will have these stats:
14% increased Cast Speed
118% increased Spell Damage
Adds 40 to 69 Cold Damage to Spells
25% increased Cast Speed
109% increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells
+38% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
+28 to maximum Mana

Average rolls will look like:
14% increased Cast Speed (it is implicit, and you can easily max it by blessed orbs)
77% increased Spell Damage (less then bonus from VB)
Adds 20 to 37 Cold Damage to Spells (Bigger then bonus of VB, cause VB dont have flat dmg. Also remember, that FP has 120% damage effectiveness, but compare it to the flat dmg you already have)
15% increased Cast Speed (With implicit it is bigger then VBs bonus)
70% increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells (lesser then bonus from VB)
+27% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier (VB has no crit multi)
+18 to maximum Mana (irrelevant, but it goes with bonus to spell dmg)

So, you get like 30% additional cast speed, 3% additional flat dmg (means 3% more dmg), -150% increased damage (around 18-20% less damage), 60% less crit chance (not a big impact, because we have like 900% total, ot something like that).

And this wand still will be expensive, because it has all stats we need. You can try to find one with less stats. Stat priority: spell dmg and cast speed - crit chance (if you dont wanna use any power charges) - crit multi (it is 3rd, because it is easier to find jewels with crit multi, and good jewel can have like 45% crit multi and some cast speed or crit chance or life. Flat dmg the last one.

Also remember, that you can craft or even multicraft needed stats. It is reasonable to craft crit chance and crit multi, i guess.

For your Ascendancy:

We'll be taking: Paragon of Calamity > Liege of Primordial > Shaper of Desolation and then Beacon of Ruin or Pendulum of Destruction.

I have Paragon of Calamity > Liege of Primordial

However I'm wondering if it would be better to skip Shaper of Desolation and go Pendulum of Destruction > Mastermind of Discord for the 25% cold pen?

Wondering just how much DPS Shaper of Desolation adds.

It gives you cold conflux with 43% uptime. It means, you can chill enemies with any ammount of cold dmg. And you already can do it, because you have almost 100% crit chance. I really dont understand why we need Shaper of Desolation. Taking it as a prerequisit for the proliferation makes sense (You can take flask with worms, sip, freeze worms - freeze transferred to the boss for some good duration. Looks like, it works with shock too, because worms have a little health pool), but without that... meh.

I skip this mod, but think, it is possible.

Not sure how ~200k tooltip DPS is translating into "4 million+ DPS". Looking at the gear and gems, there aren't even any modifiers the tooltip isn't accounting for. And you'd need ~2,000% More to accomplish the advertised DPS.

You also can't just slap on the "3.0" tag and pretend it's for 3.0. I haven't looked that far into it, but your CI version of the build's skill tree includes Vaal Pact, and the "More" ES nodes behind CI that don't exist anymore. I'm sure there's more discrepancies.

Aside from that, I have the nitpick that I'm not really sure what the point is with posting builds that cost over 50 Exalts. Surely, if someone is that rich in PoE, they can come up with their own builds?

I came here hoping to get ideas for how to improve my own Pulse character. And all I come out with is, as always, that people are 1) insanely disconnected with the reality of item pricing in PoE, and 2) that there's no such thing as a good & cheap build because the economic community will price gouge these items.

On a side note, I find it hard to believe that your gem setups are optimal.

Freezing Pulse > Ice Bite Support > Cold Penetration Support > Increased Critical Damage Support > Spell Echo Support > Increased Critical Strikes Support


Ice Bite is a pretty weak gem. Additionally, Increased Critical Strikes/Damage are also generally pretty weak. I'd imagine that these could become Controlled Destruction, Hypothermia, and Faster Casting.

But hey. Maybe the 100 Exalts life is different. Perhaps by the time you have Void Batteries sticking out of every orifice of your body, your gem setup becomes optimal, what do I know.
