It's still a decent idea - you can easily get your IAS up to 6APS (you need twice the IAS to keep the same ice nova proc rate due to alternating spells) for cyclone if you roll native T1 IAS on that sword.

I posted just before how I got a jump up in dps going to a gemini claw and a good ES shield - no reason you can't do that same. But to make it work you need to get EE, which will more than make up for the loss of a support gem.

P.

Unfortunately doesn't work that way, you cannot get Ice Nova and another spell to both proc at 6+ per second, as that goes well beyond the CoC cooldown (you would need a CoC Cooldown of like 66ms to achieve that).

Currently, you are only proccing each spell ~3.75 per second with 14% or more CDR.

I disagree.

CoC doesn't have a cooldown ITSELF - it applies a cooldown to the spells based on their name. So if you have something hitting 7.5 times per second, it can proc spells at 7.5 times per second - if you have two linked spells, that means one spell at 3.75 and another at 3.75 times per second.

Similarly if you have something hitting at 15 times per second (eg cyclone at 7.5 aps), then one spell will proc at 7.5 times per second and the other at 7.5 times per second (assuming you have >= 14% CDR).

Can someone tell if the difference between 14%cdr belt+14%IAS cospris VS no cdr and 8% IAS cospris is significant and worth to invest?
I am currently at option two and I personally prefer having stygan with life/res but I wonder if I loose lot of dmg because of it.

Thank you

Hello Guys,

Maybe u can help me how to improve my gear? i feel it is almost at max.



I have unnatural and 2 x might of the meek.

What am i thinking is get a Rare helmet to cover resist, high HP roll and -9 cold resist and then buy a bubonic boots, what stats u recommend for helmet?

Also i can change my ring now coz enought resist... what stats u recommend for ring?

i also need to look for a betters jewels i know :P

I decided go to 12% Cospri and not 13% coz my connection sometimes suck a bit.

Thanks!

I have a question i kill shaper/normal elder easy i have not try uber elder shaper. i want to tell me what need to improvement (ofc i know for ice nova enchant is to expensive in starkoja i am thinking lightproacher 2abbys with hypnotic jewels its a boost or downgrade to overall gear. Thnx for this magnificent build .

My Gear is

So warlord's mark and enfeeble can't work together?

Hello Guys!

I've just made this build, but i something "must be wrong" by me, since sometimes i ran out of mana. I had to spend 2 points to get the "Shaper" node and now it seems fine. And by running out of mana i mean, sometimes it "pops-away" .... Im realy confused!

Any of you would be so kind to check what am i doing wrong? Maybe im not seeing someting.

Thanks in advance!

This is my current tree and items:

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Leapfrog/characters

Since damage is insane because ice nova is pretty broken at the moment (especially its interaction with Frostbolt + Vortex + Bonechill in a CoC build), I tried to balance the character to do easy high-leveling and it's been good so far, zero deaths after lvl 93 (I'm 96 atm and pushing to reach 97 asap).

Defensive focus craftings + Dread banner + perma blind from Pandemonius + perma fortify + positive chaos resistance + basalt flask + chills / freezes + aspect of the spider give the build amazing layered defenses even with rippy map mods. In hexproof maps / delves I switch hypotermia in cospri's setup with life leech, no regen maps are a joke with warlord's mark on ring and if I run accidentally out of mana or I want to kill unleechable things like fortification walls or uncursable foes like totems (Siege boss), I throw Vaal Clarity. If I want to oneshot bosses I can still replace fortify in the chest setup with Concentrated effect, but I've never needed to do it, even in endgame boss fights, since the damage is already nonsense with Fortify...


My gear at the moment:





I decided not to run Enfeeble because it's insanely nerfed at endgame bosses, while Warlord's mark gives enough leech to reach the cap super fast even with 80% less curse effectiveness.

Hey
what would you guys invest!? the Atziri's Acuity gloves or a rare top tier like this one!?



is the vaal pact a game changer in this specific build!?

Cheers

Vaal Pact is a great survivability boost if you really feel you need it, especially if you get past 7k life the doubled recovery rate is pretty noticeable.

Having mana probs even after taking the %cost nodes on the tree. Anyone have any suggestions? My only thoughts atm are to get 2 mana on hit on a jewel, or run blasphemy warlords instead of enfeeble. Open to anything some of you may have done to help remedy this problem. Thanks!

you could move flame dash to your boots and use enlighten in that slot. mana on hit is probably the best option tho.

btw, your aps is 3.93 with the silver flask active. so you aren't triggering coc as often as you could be. your next upgrade should be the 14% cdr belt and refund the coordination node to get your aps at or below 3.75

Thanks, i fixed my aps issue and got mana on hit jewel, however im def going oom still on some bosses. Very frustrating bec otherwise im loving the build.
