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

Hi there, considering that the ascendency provide no stop of the recharge of ES, why don't we search to have the fastest restart regen and the slowest recharge rate to be more longer in the "immortal" phase? I haven't tried yet the build and I may be wrong or misunderstanding the mechanics of the occultist

Thanks in advance

I got me a wand with minion damage is this a problem with the spec cause i see it says scepter on the craft :|

That node only provides non-stop regen for the first 4 seconds after regen begins (if ES recharge began recently = 4 seconds). After that, any damage taken would interrupt the recharge, hence why it's good to have fast start and fast regen.

Edit: I'm totally wrong, disregard.

I've been searching for a build to push to 100 this league, and I can say it's a 9/10 in my book. It's tanky, has insane damage, decent clear speed for players like I am (lazy).

I haven't leveled phase run so it only gets triggered with the CWDT setup. The clear speed would be much smoother if I manually would press phase run, yet still the clear speed is alright.

Farmed shaper with ease, red elder, uber elder and what not. With enfeeble + the spider craft, and easily achievable 11k ES you're basically immortal. I got killed by shaper in maybe 10 runs, 2 times, because I'm constantly watching something on my phone while playing.

I have 3 jewel sockets empty, but I don't actually need them. The ES and the damage are already insane. What only feels clunky is vortex overall. It gets tedious to clear maps like dunes and such, as mobs spread out and it feels again, clunky to "catch" them all.

Other than that, I would highly recommend this build to anyone wanting to farm T15+ maps with ease.

Here are my items.



The flasks are leftover from another build, so you can run this build even without flasks completely fine...

Hi,

first thanks to the build. Have been looking for a tanky build that deals good with bosses, incursion and delve.
This seems to be the proper build for that.

One question:
I have some mana problems when I use the vortex too much.
Did I miss any mana leech nodes or gear requirement with leech?
I already took your advice of reducing reserved mana by 4%, but that is not much ;)

This build trivializes Uber Elder.

Two changes I would make to the guide would be Essence of Delirium gloves with crafted +1 to level of socketed AOE gems and using Vigilant Strike.

Gloves add a lot of damage to our Cold Snap with minimal lose to our defenses and should be the end game option and using Vigilant Strike to maintain a constant fortify is so easy with the this playstyle.

I bought the shaper temp chain amulet but i see in gem links you dont use temp chain, but you urself use it? can you clear things up for me?
