[3.5] Lewd's Cold Hard CoC Build Guide [Frostbolt/Ice Nova] 2.3M+ Shaper DPS Tanky
Noob question: can this build work with glacial cascade?
Maybe instead of frostbolt or nova or any other way? |

" Is the damage increase really that big to outweigh the elemental focus loss? I know you can fit that on a second Cospri for dual wielding but with just one is it an actual dps increase to replace EF for Frostbolt? |

" Thanks, I did as you advised and got the two jewels asap. Should I remove one of them later on? I have the same flask setup as you, only instead of the mana flask I'm using a Sulphur. Should I take the Opportunistic ascendancy node last? Last edited by NemoRSRB#4469 on Dec 19, 2018, 3:07:02 AM

" Sorry. I've just been so very busy with testing for Dual Wield, my stream and work being quite exhausting the past few days. I will be updating the build guide with more info as well as gem alternatives tomorrow, and replying to as many comments as I can. Again, I haven't abandoned the post, I have just been trying to get new info to add onto it. Want to make sure I am 100% correct before I do anything else to it. |

" Disabled Vaal RF as you wouldn't have that up very reliably for guardians/shaper For the Cospri it is [(frostbolt avg dmg/2)+(ice nova avg dmg)] *cyclone attack speed For the Chest it is [(ice nova avg dmg*2)]*cyclone attack speed Then just add them together. This is assuming you are Lycosidae and have diamond flask up for near 90% crit chance, calculation would be different for other skills but considering how Cyclone rolls crit = it crits for the entire duration of the attack it's a realistic number. |

" It can, however the dps would be less and you wouldn't go for Life Gain on Hit, losing the overall tanky feeling of it while mapping/bossing. If there is enough interest I might include a section of viable other PoB and gem set-ups to accompany them. |

What would you think about using Shroud of the Lightless for a cheap 6l and moving hypotermia in place of cold penetration in Cospri ?

" Later on, based on the OP's build and my understanding of jewels, it'll be more beneficial to eventually replace one of the gems with an jewel that has flat attack speed, attack speed with swords, and max life, but until then running two should be fine. Sulfur Flask is good if you can keep yourself within the area, but may be difficult to do consistently with Cyclone. I can switch out my own mana flask now that my Warlords Mark is high enough level to outleech my cyclone mana cost. I would definitely get Opportunistic last. The movement speed is mainly QoL, and we have enough boss damage to delay acquiring that. The crit you get from Ambush and Assassinate is so noticeable, too. Before it, I would often whiff on some packs without diamond flask up, and even then. Now, I crit every pack. |

Hey there OP,
This build is amazing dude <3 What would you recommend as my next natural upgrade? Id like some more defence of some art. Might take this char to 100 |
