thank you!

Remove Ice Bite from your Herald of Ice. You don't want to have Frenzy Charges, they fuck up your attack speed.
Divine down your Cospri's to a maximum total of 22% increased AS (so 14 + 8, or 12 + 10, etc) or less.
Those 2 changes would bring you down to a maximum 7,56 APS while Elusive.

I don't understand why this build is advocating the 7.57 breakpoint when we're dual-wielding Cospri's. Cyclone alternates between weapon hits and each weapon hits half as often each second:

Per this thread, we should be aiming for the 12.12 APS breakpoint (With 0% ICDR), or 15.14 (With 14%+ ICDR). What am I missing?

You need to balance APS and cooldown recovery for the ice nova casts. Take a look at this calculator and play around with it.
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/rbl6w1jnvs
Plugging in 12.12 APS with 0 ICDR gives us 4.8 and 15.14 with 14% ICDR gives us 6.16 casts compared to 7.49 casts at 15+ ICDR with 7.49 APS. With 52% ICDR you aim for 9.9 APS for 9.9 ice nova casts.

On topic: I took Raikudou's, Esoro, Serberus's CoC Ice nova builds and smashed them together for by my build.

I can do T16 maps easily and I just took down A8 Sirius (on last portal kekw) but my gear still needs to be optimized. I went for the 52+% ICDR and 9.9 APS for my build.

- You're lvl 87 without Uber Lab done;

- You have a base of 145 life from gear. That is ridiculously low.
Your ring, helmet, gloves, boots and belt should each have +60 life at the very least. Yours have practically zero.
Shoot for 5k life at least;

- Cap your resistances via gear, don't count on flasks for it. Nullifier mobs will insta-kill you;

- Redo your flasks entirely. Rumi's and Rotgut are completely worthless for this build. Put in an Atziri's and The Wise Oak instead, alongside an instant Life, Diamond and Quartz flasks that remove bleeds, curses and freeze, respectively;

- Push to 100% hit on Cyclone. A total of +800 accuracy on 1 ring and gloves, combined with the Depth Perception cluster and ~lvl 15 Precision should do the trick. You can drop Arcane Expanse to pick Depth Perception.



This is one of the strongest nodes in the entire tree, as, unlike other similar PC duration nodes, it provides spell power per power charge. Way too many people missing it.
