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

Molten Shell or Steelskin might be decent alternatives to Immortal Call, well have to see.

The new Precision Aura is gonna make the early transition a lot easier, dropping herald of thunder for it is gonna boost accuracy and crit so we don't need to pickup lycosidae quite as early and have easier time doing crits.

I wonder if its now possible to run this build without lyco at all, given that accuracy is easier to hit and we have more tools to reach the 95%+ zone.

Overall pretty happy that this did not get touched much, gonna be good :)

Can we run dual cospri with new accuracy changes? Would it be better than a good shield?

Very interested in this build for the next league. I really hope it´still viable and as fun as it seems. Sadly, chaos damage hurts real bad, doesn´t it?

Note: a properly crafted Jewelled Foil with "Hits cant be evaded" must be an insane DPS gain for just a little Life loss...

With enough accuracy you probably could, it would be less defensive but should otherwise work just fine.
You would definitely need the belt with 14% cooldown reduction to make that work and getting all that accuracy is not gonna be easy with so many slots taken by uniques.

Faster and faster...


Love this build, thanks op for the great guide.


Have now tried it out with a queen of the forest setup for some even faster mapping. Got a nice vid, and some pob for changes i made.

Amazing!!

I loved your construction. Do you think that after the patch notes, build is viable?

Very nice indeed, would love to have a Pob link!!

For me it looks that changes are not affecting ascendancy points or passive skill tree for this build:

They are adding a new Accuracy Aura gem in this league, may be worth checking it...

Sad this new node is too far away for us:

can you league start with this build?

I tried for a while to make it work, there is definitly no easy way to make this work right now.

The Aura we are getting is https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Precision_(Skill)
which at level 22 gives 1100 Accuracy and 85% Crit.

Now those values will most likely be lower since we will not get a level 22 version.
It will be an amazing choice for the mid tier of this build when you can't afford a Lycosidae yet or lack crit to get started but for end-game no matter what i tried you can't get that much Accuracy to really make it worth without Sacrificing a lot of Damage in the process.

We have 2 good choices in the Tree right now for some extra Accuracy:




NOTE: This one will also give attack speed

With that i am currently sitting at ~1450 Accuracy on my version of this build, with the aura we might hit ~2300 so that would put us to around 88% hit chance.

In my dps calculation having another cospris would equal out to about 250k Shaper DPS (which may not be accurate at all, i just roughly estimated).
If anyone has a better number on that let me know.

So all in all we have to free up to 7 skill points, drop Blasphemy, find gear that has life, res and accuracy for the few slots we have (at least 500-600 points) and must have the belt with 14% cooldown since the accuracy nodes come with attack speed.
