[3.5] Occultist Vortex/Cold Snap ES/CI - Deathless and Safe Uber Elder and T16's

2nd time im playing this character, last league I pushed to 100 with it and now I picked it up after trying out some other starters, my gear (sorry if it hurts your eyes, yes its super bad)



and just to show how crazy op this build is: https://gyazo.com/ab40d322969276ae30b6986bc7b3e9f5
(Vortex was lvl 19 when I did shaper)

6.7k es btw :P

fun as always, now need some gear upgrades - and got lucky aswell

cheers

Really loving the build so far.

Currently mapping with a 5l, body and shield is ok rest is pretty crap.
Only thing I dislike is the movement speed.

Any PoE vets out there that could look at how I can build some more movement speed? Don't really know where to start :/

Most obviously, MS on boots go up to 35% and there is a some other special mods for them too but that may take a while to aquire. Instead roll your flasks, especially your Quicksilver. Alchemist if you want the extra burst, Chemist/Experimenter if you like longer uptime, are the most common prefix choices. Adrenaline is a no-brainer for suffix. Also, get a source of Onslaught. Silver flask is the easiest option here.

There are several options to squeeze out more MS but these seem like the most obvious solutions for your situation. Be advised though, you might become too fast for yourself. Vortex cooldown can be problematic for your game flow, if you run through packs faster than you can trigger it.

can have with luck or craft on shaper helmet 5L coldsnap,



for move, phasing + increased duration with some potion is great.

I want to multimod this scepter tomorrow. What do you think? Would you craft something else?



Prefix
Minion Damage
Spell Damage (55-66)% 1ex
Cold DoT Multi +(17-20) 4c
Suffix
Mutlimod 2ex
Cast Speed (15-18)% 1ex
Trigger Spell 3c

how does this build compare to ziggyds being its not fully updated to 3.6? Ziggys PoB damage and es is much higher than this one but it could be beacuse it not updated. TIA. And sorry if its been asked before i couldnt find anything

Heyo!

Thanks for the excellently written guide, I apologize in advance if this has been answered before, could not find anything on it.

In regards to Hypothermia + Ele focus, is focus not acting against hypothermia? Would it not be better to use Bonechill or Conc effect? I'm sure I am missing something here, just not sure what. Thanks for any reply

Ziggy has a generally more offensive build whereas this build is more defensive, especially in the curse department. The bigger point of comparison, to me, is whether or not to use the minion damage nodes. I've been experimenting with a mix of both passive trees and it seems pretty close...

you also need deal +% more damage on full life before multimodding.

Can you use for example flat lightning damage to make coldsnap or vortex trigger EE? Because the hit part triggers it, and the dot damage get the extra damage bonus, it's correct?
