I see alot of people still posting in here. So i found and am using a similar tree to this one but believe it has more dps and more es. Can someone take a look and give me thoughts? My current gear is not the best yet since league just started but as far as skill tree goes, I think this one may be stronger.

I tested out your version of the tree with my gear on POB and it does indeed look like your tree has slightly more DPS and ES at the cost of 1 AoE radius which seems quite good. Anyone else has thoughts on this tree?

Edit: Fiddled around with the tree and added in some jewels (I didn't have any) and it looks to me like both trees have comparable DPS and ES but your tree has a bit more evasion and cold resistance. Still seems like an upgrade albeit a minor one.

use shavron ? so switch on low-life , it's expensiv, sure could do it, but should change a bit tree, and stack a minimum chaos res on stuff i mean.

and yes shaper/elder/uberelder and uber atziri were smooth. (and delve 365 too ^^, looking for the primitiv ruin boss actually, don't found him atm).

@ seowalex: i use something similar, working fine. but dps as i said earlier is realy not a problem :) .

here my actual pob: https://pastebin.com/7jHpUEAc

edit and have done a weapon, so not with minion damage , but work fine:

Ya i messed with pob for a while last night with this as well. I was looking at another build that did not take ee but ran a tree close to this. They werent running ee or minion damage nodes at all. Kind of combined it and seems good. Once i get home I can actually explain the differences. OK so ya the other build was taking Arcane Swiftness and Arcane Expanse. I dropped those to go for minion damage nodes and also dropped some other stuff to get EE by going straight across.

Just realized I forgot to pick the crafting recipe from merciless labyrinth and ran it again
Looks like I actually got something useful for a change

I have another stupid question, i haven't switched to CI yet, but have like 1200 health, the only thing that ever kills me is stuff like poison dots and what not, but they appear to not affect my energy shield, just my hp...i'm a noob so switching to 1 hp and immunity to chaos, poison still will kill me?

*edit*
i'll leave this up for stupidity reminder, i just saw it was chaos damage lol, things are usually moving too fast for me to check.

Sorry to disappoint you, but penetration doesn't work for DoT.

how exactly does Ele.Focus and Hypothermia works. Does Hypothermia kicks in only after Cold snap or Frost Bomb does damage ?

basicly,
we have 3 skill: coldsnap, vortex and the "auto trigger" (frost bomb/ "something other than cold who hit fast"(brand/orb lightning)for EE.

frost bomb utility is for débuff target :
- Cold Exposure applies -25% to Cold Resistance
- 75% reduced Life Regeneration rate
- 75% reduced Energy Shield Regeneration rate
- 25% reduced Energy Shield Recharge rate

hypotermia use in 2 setup:
- on coldsnap (without elemental focus): all the effect of the skill
(includ ailment)

- on vortex (with elemental focus):
more cold domage over time
more cold damage vs chilled enemy (here the enemy chill with coldsnap, not vortex (because use elemental focus).

- and elemental focus use ofc for:
Supported Skills deal 0.5% increased Elemental Damage (quality)
Supported Skills deal (30-49)% more Elemental Damage

First time trying this build
I gotta say i fucking love this drop and go playstyle
