I am sure this is answered somewhere, but hoping for some feedback.

Can someone explain how the EE is consistently triggered and applied correctly? I think I am just dumb, but when you cast vortex or cold snap doesn't it immediately trigger EE in the wrong direction?

Can someone please explain, step by step, how the trigger a socketed spell craft works with this build?

Thanks!


Yes, it's been answered all sorts of times, but it's a little buried so I can explain it :)

You don't want to get EE until you get the weapon that casts socketed gems when you cast a skill. This will cast frost bomb, storm brand, and orb of storms for you. You might end up with a cold EE for a split second but only the explosion of frost bomb triggers the cold version, the rapid firing orb/brand will keep it set to electric instead.

As far as vortex and cold snap, they are both dots. Cold Snap will trigger cold for a split second on impact, then it will swap to lightning again. Vortex does not trigger EE at all since it is 100% dot.


I very much appreciate the explanation. Vortex does doe flat cold damage first, then a dot, at least per the gem info on Poe wiki. But, your explanation remains solid, thanks for taking the time.


Huh, you're right, I did not realize Vortex had an actual damage component. Still, as you said, the explanation remains the same :)

I'll go with this one, it's basically the tree from last league where I made lvl 100 with it.

Small question about the more cold dot multiplier:

Are all of these multiplier seperate or additive?
Because we have alot of them in the tree/ascendenys/items.

I know that increased and more are seperate,
the question is if i have 5 times 100% more will grant me 500% or 3200%?
Great build love it so far, just run and press right click LUL. Got pretty lucky and managed to craft this thing
- - edit : sorry for double post mouse clicks have been going crazy

I highly recommend you at least get the trigger socketed gems when you cast a spell suffix. Having frost bomb/orb of storms/storm brand auto-cast will help you trigger both EO and EE which will increase your damage done by a ton.

It should be the most important attribute on a weapon.
