Are there any disadvantages in terms of proc rates of Frostbolt - IceNova Combo when dual wielding Cospris with Vortex/Bonechill/UnboundElements socketed?

Vortex has a 1 second cooldown so there's that.

Hi!

I am looking at the item showcases, and am interested in Frallis' HH Shackles build. How does it compare to the meta zerker self curse 5way farmer? I have a lvl 96 assassin already and am kinda lazy to level a new char.

I'm not 100% sure how it would do as I don't have the currency to throw at a HH, I would send a whisper to any of the people in the thread who've done a HH build, there's a couple of them.

this might be obvious but I don't see it, how's mana being leeched for cycloning?

how would we go about fossil crafting our own vaal regalia?

bought the most relevant items on HC now, where would the vanity gem go in?

Either in the top jewel slot beside Minion Instability or lower jewel slot by Mind over Matter.

If you're on HC there are a few changes I would make to the build: pick up Flesh and Stone OR use a Pandemonius. Make sure you have a Discipline Watcher's Eye or Atziri's Acuity for safety reasons ideally. Swap some offensive flasks out for Basalt etc... Consider using Armour base types, picking up Armour during Soul Gain Prevention. Run Steelskin or MS/VMS at LVL 20. Use a Perfect Form or a Loreweave instead of a Vaal Regalia (it's only some small QoL, not necessary at all).

thanks, should have asked before starting to buy stuff, got the yoke and 6l regalia already :/ - perfect form would have been much better I think on HC, defensivewise. will definately run VMS and basalts+granite probably.

- would you consider pandemonius a lot better because of the blind on HC?
- your auras would be discipline+hatred on HC?
- when crafting an armour based (elder glorious plate) would you look for the same stats as on the regalia?

Okay and the fact that both Cospris have alternating turns at cyclone doesnt change the actual proc rate with 1 vs 2 cospris?
Heard something like that in another thread about CoC-IceNova. That it halfs the procrate of the Frostbolt-IceNova Cospri.

Thanks for the reply!

Have you considered Carnage Heart? https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Carnage_Heart

It has Decent Attributes being Onyx ammy with an Explicit attribute mod, as well as all resist, little life leech AND 30% increased damage while leeching.

Hey,

currently I´m looking into a new rare chest. Right now I´m wearing a Loreweave with decent ele dmg and res. Do you think a elder vaal regalia would be much of an upgrade in terms of dmg and survivability?
On another note, could you look into my build and tell me if there´s anything I could do better? :)

Hi,

Is the glorious vanity jewel absolutely necessary for this build to perform well, i'm on standard so don't have access to it.
What would you recommend for replacing it, and would i also need to replace the belt?

Be careful when crafting full strength plates as the coloring required is 3g3b or 4b2g or 3g2b1r or 2g3b1r. Same stats though, make sure there's room for a gain % life as extra max es. Pandemonius let's you not run a Flesh and Stone if you want to get as much defenses as possible. And you don't need to run Discipline unless you have the Watcher's Eye with ES on hit. I would pick between either running Discipline or Acuity. If you are running Perfect Form or a unique chest with no resistances then probably use rare gloves with resists and pick up Discipline + Watcher's Eye. You can also try and fit Hatred + Zealotry + Discipline if you get a helm enchant with 15% reduced reservation for Hatred/Zealotry, get the aura nodes in Templar start, and use a 15% reduced reservation shaped shield. You can also get a corrupted helm with 90% mana multiplier, link Hatred + Zealotry + Discipline + Enlighten along with the reduced reservation enchant but this is probably much more expensive and not really a better alternative either.

Not really, glorious vanity just helps with tank. You also don't need to run Soul Tether, depends if you have access to iCDR boots, if you do you can run Soul Tether anyway as it gives you access to Life Leech not removed at Full Life, which helps you tank through savage hits easier.

If you don't have a lot of currency to spend just stick with Loreweave, it's an excellent alternative.

I would consider getting a 3 property Watcher's Eye and running the Discipline ES on Hit setup, it should boost your survivability quite a bit (not that the build really needs a whole lot more).

Quick summary:

Get a reduced reservation enchant for Hatred/Zealotry on your helm.

Use a shaped shield with 15% reduced mana reservation for socketed gems
(If you can multimod it with flat FIRE and gain % of cold as extra CHAOS, this will let you drop your hypnotic jewel and replace it with a better DMG one).

Buy a Watcher's Eye with ES on Hit with Discipline and 2 other offensive properties for Hatred/Zealotry/Precision total.
