[3.5] CheeQu's CoC Ice Nova Assassin - Up to 7m Shaper DPS + Amazing Clearspeed [In-Depth Guide]

I hear and obey :3

So I see some people talking about using BF over cyclone. Is it just a matter of preference or is one actually better than the other on paper? Please let me know what you guys think.

Just a short note.

An alternative setup is to craft a nice attack speed claw like this with hits can't be evaded (it's not cheap, given the crafting bench mods, but it is statistically easy to craft IAS on there - alt-regal-annul):



Then put frostbolt on your coc chest.

This allows you to run an interesting off hand shield too:



The key is also to have some non-cold elemental damage to attacks somewhere in your setup (and no cold damage on attacks), so you can proc EE.

EE more than outweighs the loss of the Ice Nova support on chest, especially for bosses (and trash dies instantly anyway). -50% res >> hypothermia for bosses

Now, you need to effectively double your attack rate for cyclone, because we have two spells proccing in our chest, not one. But given how fast the claw is, getting to 6APS (<14% CDR) or 7.5 APS (>= 14% CDR) is super easy.

The life on hit and mana on hit from the claw are obviously amazing, you will have no mana problems any more.

Enjoy!

cyclone hits twice per attack while BF only hits once. so you trigger coc more often with cyclone.

Hi guys,

So i managed to get warlords mark on my ring however i still run out of mana on ST fights.

Getting lab enchant is the only way?

Hi, it's an excellent build. I have had a lot of fun leveling with it. I'm now 90, doing end-game stuffs but I'm having trouble killing bosses, such as the Minotaur who keeps one hitting me. Do you have any idea what I could do to bump my overall resist/tankiness?




Thanks mate!

Hey, can someone recommend any upgrades going forward to more end game type stuff like t15 maps, tul boss ect ?

Thanks mate!

CWDT and IC should be level 1 and frostbomb at level 10. you want cwdt to proc with as little damage as possible

you should get your loreweave 6 linked asap. you can get a lot more damage or link fortify for better defense

get a high rolled wise oak to replace the bismuth flask. you have to juggle your resistances so cold is the highest to get the cold pen

PoB says my attack speed is 3.84 with onslaught, but I have 20% cdr belt, do I need to go down to a 13 or 12% cospris? or am I fine with 20% cdr? anyone? please.. I can't tell if I'm skipping casts or if sometimes it doesn't proc because I don't crit on occasion.. it's really hard to tell. It doesn't seem like I'm skipping casts but I could be occasionally, I don't know.. I'm using devoto's.. that's why my aps is a bit higher than usual

I still dont understand why its so important to have 14% cdr and 14% attack speed on the wp1.
