[3.7] [Occultist] Frostblink | 200k ~ shaper DPS | Red Tier
 I have challenged Frostblink in 3.7. I achieved Red Tier Maps and Yellow Elder. This build isn't good for starters or beginners, but I'm doing it so much fun that I want to share it. Pro's & Con's + good clear speed + all skill instant so you don't need cast speed + funny - low single target dps - busy and difficult to play - not cheap Frostblink This skill is instant and has cooldown time (lv20 2.60s). It has bonus cooldown recovery speed for each enemy in area. Considering the characteristics of skills, this build emphasizes the following two factors inc AoE : More AoE more enemy in area. Gem level : Base cooldown time becomes 2.55 at level 23. For one hit damage and inc AoE, Occulist is the best Ascendancy class. Ascendancy

Forbidden Power: 45% over inc AoE and damage Profane Bloom: Clear speed Malediction: Defense and more damage Void Beacon: Reduce cold resistance My Gear

+1 Power Charge and great inc damage LL sets Freeze immune and mana High ES and +1 Power Charge (not have to be Vertex) High ES "inc cooldown recovery speed" is better, but not mandatory. ES, Attribute, Resist "(30-50)% increased cooldown recovery speed of Movement Skills used while affected by Haste" is most important. Inner Conviction grants 30% more damage. Gem Links

PoB can't show Frostblink dps at version 1.4.146. So I estimated the dps using lv25 ice nova. https://pastebin.com/0ZHZteNk DPS

Base cooldown time: 2.55s Cooldown recovery speed: +109% Cooldown time if no enemy in area: 1.22s Cooldown time if one unique or rare enemy in area: 0.82s Damage per hit(no flask): 270k Shaper DPS: 329k Leveling
Spoiler
Leveling with this skill is extremely difficult, so you choice other leveling skills, for example, bane, vortex, and so on. I recommend to use Frostblink after at least lv68. Videos

But why?
|
|
|
I just say : Incredible.
I love PoE build diversity. |
|
|
This is one of the reasons I play Path of Exile.
Good job making this build work! |

" Better question is, why not? Looks pretty fun at any case. |

Is this the least possible cooldown for Frostlink?
I was hoping to see somebody push it to see if we can have teleport in POE... you know, if we can have teleport and then trigger...we could replicate D2 Necro play style :) | |
" In 3.7 it was hard to increase cooldown recovery speed. In 3.8 Badge of Brotherhood and The Stampede was introduced, they grand more and more cooldown recovery speed for Frostblink. I try to gain the least possible cooldown for Frostblink in 3.8. https://youtu.be/4eka-FoyadI PoB: https://pastebin.com/ftf2TX9J With nine FC, Frostblink by this character has 0.64 cooldown time without bonus by nearby enemies. |
