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

Thanks for the build. This build looks fun to play with. Just want to ask a question, is it possible to change the body armour into skin loyal for a budget version?

Yes. I decided to stick with skin of the loyal. I am over 12k ES with 303000 tooltip vortex dot dps in hideout.

Okay Thanks :)

After 3,000 hours in PoE, I finally did Shaper AND Uber Elder for the first time this week. Because of this build, both fights were deathless and nearly painless. This is the first build I've played where I really felt confident in my ability to stay alive and deal decent damage. Looks like I found my new favorite build (hope they don't nerf it next league -_-)

Great build man! A question, i am using tabula rasa right now and i want to swith to Dendrobate. Will the lesser poison work with vortex?

First off thanks to the OP for the build , best build i've played by far during my time with Poe, just completed all 4 guardians breathless and red elder , moving onto shaper and uber elder next hopefully , for anyone who has already done these fights would you have a quick glance at my character and tree and advise any changes :) thanks in advance !!

Nothing huge to change really, lots of good gears. However, I'd change the belt for a crystal belt with a lot of ES on it. Also, you could upgrade your boots for some Sorcerer boots but it's not mandatory.

Shaper and Uber Elder are going to be piece of cake really :)

This build is the farthest I've ever gotten in PoE, got my first Uber Elder kill on it. Given that you naturally have to move around constantly it was relatively easy to learn the endgame encounters. Finished up with about 11k ES and my Vortex tooltip had it right around 100k dps, everything felt very doable.

Only content I struggled with was Mastermind, Minotaur and the first delve boss but I think those can be written up to not knowing the fights.

Here's my current gear. Never did get around to affording a belt with Aspect of the Spider, and have yet to roll a relevant enchantment on the helmet (this build can farm uber lab very safely)

Thanks for the feedback , I'll check for an upgraded crystal belt and get on with killing the pair of them:)

This is a great build, been playing it awhile and have probably died the least of any character I've ever done, and I play pretty reckless. One issue I'm having though that I can't figure out is all the monsters around me say they resist cold. I have the appropriate storm brand - frost bomb - orb of storms cast on skill use set up, but I never see a monster that says vulnerable to cold. Can't figure it out.
