" TotemLols wrote: Hi, this build looks extremely interesting to me! I am considering starting to level an occulist in the upcoming week. Did you level using cold snap or freezing pulse? As for the use of Artic Breath, do you use this for clearing as well or purely cold snap with vortex? Final question: Does frost bomb have a use for this build or seeing you manage to get -95% resist it's useless? 1 I did level with Freezing Pulse until it became absolutely garbage against elder 2 Arctic Breath is the utility skill for applying Bonechill. Either Cold Snap or Vortex is good enough for clearing depending on your preference between melee and ranged 3 Frost Bomb -25% is included in -95% and it is of minor importance being linked with CwDT	Posted by Arthur606#6148 on Dec 18, 2018, 9:24:43 PM Quote this Post
" boho wrote: The build has gone well for me thusfar Arthur, well done! I changed a couple things for personal preference/leveling but overall it's a solid performer. One question about Elemental Equilibrium - I've been using Herald of Ice it seems to interfere with EE when used with Storm Brand (since Storm Brand applies Lightning and Cold, targets get Cold and Lightning resist every tick). Am I missing a mechanic/trusting the UI too much or would Herald of Lightning (or no Herald) be a better option? To be fair you don't mention a Herald in the guide but I did notice one in PoB. DO NOT add flat damage of your main skill to spell when you have Ele Equi Keystone, including Herald/gear/Abyssal jewels. You can however put Orb of Storm/Brands in which is the popular choice this league after buff The thing in my POB is the gem I level in offhand	Posted by Arthur606#6148 on Dec 18, 2018, 9:28:40 PM Quote this Post

Thanks for the reply! Another question. I'm currently lvl 34 and I seem to have access to all the gems used in this build now. How would I combine the gems most efficiently with the noob gear that I have? I currently don't have a chest with 6 sockets etc. Kind regards.

In the gem session support gems are listed in the order of high to low more damage at lv 20. At low lv they are about the same, 6 link chest Tabula Rasa is available from lv 1 :)	Posted by Arthur606#6148 on Dec 19, 2018, 2:33:47 PM Quote this Post

Of course a lot is better if you can afford	Posted by Arthur606#6148 on Dec 20, 2018, 4:51:05 PM Quote this Post
I have two questions since im not that good with items and crafting stuff. My first question is regarding the chest, what would be the best? skin of the lords with the sockets you posted or a vaal regalia? My other question is the rare Cold DOT Staff. Was it crafted with the help of fossils or just RNG'd with drop or chaos. Thanks in Advance.	Posted by lunkera#0515 on Dec 21, 2018, 1:05:29 AM Quote this Post
