Not sure if this has been asked before, but what is the reason you're not using golems?

Also, what is gem quality priority in this build?

No free gem slots. You could slot one in, but they die quick and you have to resummon them a lot unless you link to CwDT. The only one worth it would be the Chaos Golem I think and that damage reduction isn't going to help much. If you don't kill the mobs before they start dealing physical damage to you, then you are probably dead no matter what.

In terms of gem quality, priority is your Freezing Pulse (you really want a 21/23, makes a big difference), followed by any awakened gems (or non-awakeded support on your six-link). you might have. After that, it doesn't matter a ton. The only ones that don't need quality at all are your auroras and frost bomb (unless you get divergent). Quality on arcane surge gives you some more damage. Quality on anomalous cold snap can give you increased effect of chill, which for the investment is a pretty good return. Just quality up your 6-link first, then don't bother with the other gems unless you want to look at alternate quality versions or have enough extra gemcutters that the choice doesn't matter (they are pretty easy to farm via Rituals).

I personally really like 20% or 23% quality on Phase Run and Divergent Dash (expensive), as they make a big defensive improvement for me.

I need some help from the totem oracles here, should I invest into a proper Large Cluster or a Watcher's Eye first?

If you've already pathed to the cluster jewel passive, you may as well put a Watcher's Eye in the socket. Then when you level a couple of times, you can replace it with a medium cluster jewel, and socket the Eye in the jewel's socket. Then when you level a couple more times, you can put the large one in, the medium off that, and the Eye off that.

Just saw a wand with 'Hatred has 40% more effect' - I don't think it can be elevated (?) but either way perhaps it's a different way to try to craft a wand without relying on +gems.

Can someone maybe guide me into a direction to raise the DPS?
For life I already have a Vermillion Ring at hand, where I just need some aug life on it. That'll change

But I feel like my damage is much lower than it could be. Would be awesome to get some help. Currently got ~5 EX at hand to waste on the build.

Apart from everything being 21/23 of course.

thanks!

21/23 on fp is a big deal, quality on other DPS gems helps too. Extra levels on Freezing Pulse matter a lot, and quality = effective range.

You only need one life flask, and you don't need any mana flasks. There are several cheap DPS flasks you could be using instead - Wise Oak, Atziri's Promise, silver flasks, diamond flasks.

Your wands are OK, but you have 12 potential DPS mods. You probably want one as projectile speed, and the rest as DPS. At the moment you have 7, plus one semi mod from the synthesised wand.

Watchers Eye is going to be worthwhile to you, particularly as you already have a medium cluster jewel. The socket from that jewel can hold the Eye. There are single mod %cold damage for 35c at the moment, with better mods at 2 and 3ex.

Flash freeze. I'm going to try Doom Cast if I ever gain another level, but projectile speed and greater freezing efficiency is nice with flash freeze.

Hi,
i tried the itemtester for new wands like describedhere :

"

For all those looking for wand or jewel dps upgrades, make weighted item searches using https://github.com/VolatilePulse/PoB-Item-Tester

This will load your pob and spit out a pre filled in weighted search. You would be surprised what comes up and can often find extremely good deals on the mods best for your exact build.

However .... the page i am redirect to has NOTHING pre-selected at all - i have to add some numbers at it seems manually - so this tool does not help at all sadly.


// edit ok i did not select "freezing pulse " as main skill ...
however... not the tool creates a search query for jewels ... and there are only jewels specific mods pre-selected.

so i made a search manually ... and at least found out the "compare a result to your current equip", and got a sweet 30k dps increase via a new 2.8ex wand, i quite like, no more "non offense" mod



really wanted a second "+1 skill" or at least some projectile speed, but this one i could not resist ^^

The new helmet is very good for us since we can replace shield and get a rare one with +1 totems / +1 cold spell
4.75M shaper DPS per totem, 5 totems
standard so some gear is legacy but i can upgrade the damage a lot still with crit multi harvest + crit multi jewels, too lazy to do it :P

Your config has 7 totems instead of 5 btw

I am always confused, how damage can be pushed. I am struggling pushing mine by huge steps. Currently stucking at 950k boss dps. What would be the best strongest improvements for a small budget (6ex)?

Could you make your character public please? It's much easier to look at gear that way than importing to POB.

For whatever it's worth, I'm 348k hideout DPS & ~8.3k eHP so there may be ideas you can borrow from that character.
