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

Do you have an idea of the dps difference between a cold dot damage based one and a minion/life damage based one?
I have a bunch of bound/pristine anyway, I could definitively give it a try.

I rarely do the math, I just compare in Path of Building.

just did uber elder, definitly dps is not a problem with this build we have enough.
and the mecanich of drop damage zone is so strong...

with 10k ES we have all the time to take a hit and move (if we don't be vigilant ).


edit:

and i'm at 320 lvl in delve atm, continue to dig ... dig,dig a hole :)

I played around with the helmet and created this:



I get around half the vortex dps of rime gaze:




how is this better ?

Rime Gaze hammers your ES Regen (your tank).

Vortex generally goes in a 6l chest (BBBBGG), and doesn't use conc effect as you want nice big puddles of Cold DOT to smash up big packs.

Can we use +84 void sceptre for crafting?

OK. Just managed to spend all my currency and get a 6L regalia for 2Ex.

Dps is pretty close to what I had with Rime on 4L

Definitely an improvement but you do need the 6L to make the switch

Hi all, what about the new ES leech nodes? Worth taking them?

Thanks

Do you use vortex for leveling? I wonder how smooth the leveling experience can be.

btw your gears look more than perfect to my SSF goal, how much time have you tossed onto this character?

i go to lvl 60-65 with lightning brand, and switch after, (but lvl all gem as soon as possible).

don't know about time, mean 3/4 day, maybe a bit more, always playing a lot first week of eah league.

-----------

ES leech don't work with dot.

void scepter is good, but prefer the opal because only need 95 streng, void need 104, and one of the "difficult" is to have enough streng and dex .

and for EO, yes it proc,but don't check if we have or not permanant buff or not.

Ah you put vaal cs in rime gaze not Vortex.
