I started ED\C and suffered much because of lags, screen freezes and slideshow with delirium mods (thx to my g960) and then I switched to your build. So I must say I absolutely love it, just finished 20\20 simulacrum yesterday. Suits those who experience some lagging, not very expensive and leaves free room for minmaxing.

New cluster gems for Warcry is a great thing (+5 rage per cry).

I swapped Frost bomb to Vaal Impurity of Ice, helped me alot on freeze\chill mods which didn't let me reach a target and killed me lots of times.

Hi! I did some research into Vaal Impurity of Ice and found: "Vaal Impurities work like Inevitable Judgement in that they cause your damage to ignore everything that affects the effective resistance of the enemy; including innate resistances, debuffs (curses, Frost Bomb), and penetration. Even against The Shaper, Frost Bomb + penetration are reducing the enemy's effective resistance below 0, so ignoring that will reduce your DPS."

In that case the Vaal Impurity of Ice gem will be better untill you reach a point where you can reach negative numbers of resistances of enemies. In addition, the Vaal gems need to 'charge' so you can only use this once per boss fight, while you can use frostbomb every few seconds.

I can confirm this ^^

Just hit 75 and I'm really enjoying the build it is super satisfying. It's probably the first build I've played that I'm experiencing difficulty doing labs though.

Would that be worth specing for?

I'm not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, but I personally found that it doesn't seem to be worth it that much unless you also get for example: Small Passive skills also grant 2% Attack and Cast Speed with Cold Skills. Ideally also with a corruption that adds plain damage on the cluster jewel.

To also answer someone who asked earlier which cluster/nodes might be useful I so far found the following to be useful:
Disorienting Display: 25% Increased elemental damage and 10% Chance to blind nearby enemies when you use an elemental skill.
Prismatic Heart: 30% Increased elemental damage and +10% to all Elemental resistances
Blanketed Snow: Damage penetrates 10% Cold Resistance against chilled enemies
Cold-Blooded Killer: 20% Increased cold damage and Recover 2% of life on kill
Cold to the Core: 1% Increased cold per 25 Strength/Dexterity/Wisdom
Widespread Destruction: 20% Increased Elemental Damage

I'd like someone with more PoE-knowledge and experience to also weigh in on this though.

I think investing in clusters for early/mid endgame is worth it because 3 stat crimson jewels and the vanity jewel are quite expensive at this stage in the league. You can put those passives to better use in the meantime with both the elemental nodes and the two hander large jewels (Feed the Fury has synergy with our overleech and Surefooted Striker helps with crit chance, plus you can get the added passives also have +3% attack speed). You can readily gets these for < 1C so it's a great way to cost effectively boost damage while you grind the currency for the expensive items

Make use of your war cry to instantly recover life over traps.
Also use soul of Ralakesh minor pantheon for labs.

Hi there,

I'm in need of your collective advice once again. In my quest to get a redeemer influenced, ilevel 85+ helmet with -9% cold resistances to enemies I ended up with this beauty.
But now I'm in doubt if I should continue to spam it with fossil crafting or not.



What do you think?

Do you have a leveling tree (like rough order of nodes)?
I was going up and to the right for life (Constitution), but upon further reading it looks like we should be getting Winter Burial around A3? I guess my question is - should i be going to the jewel socket over by Golem's blood

Greetings Torstein,

Thank you so much for this build. I'm loving it so much. The combat, the visual and the sound are great and satisfying.

I'm currently having one question: my single target dps (especially on high tier bosses) feels lacking. I can see the huge dps dropping when I enter the boss room and start fighting the boss compared to map clearing.Some of those Atlas conquerors completely destroyed me, but I think I should blame myself as I didn't fully understand all of their mechanism.

I wonder if there's something I'm not doing correctly? Like certain skills or items I'm not using correctly? If you could view my character profile and provide me with a bit suggestion?

Thank you again for this awesome build!

Cheers

Hey the Transcendent Flesh jewel was updated,
is there a replacement for it or is it still good?
There's no more phys dmg reduction

Great post, loving the build.

I'd like to point out that getting a Megalomaniac with some GG mods is absolutely broken. It can roll any 3 mods, so you can get combinations normally unavailable. I currently have Blanketed Snow ((10% cold pen), Overwhemling Malice (10% chance to gain Unholy Might for 4 sec on crit, with this build it is 100% uptime and literally 300,000k damage, pretty much an Atziri's Promise in damage), and Surefooted (40% increased crit strike, 8% chance to do double damage if crit recently so again with this build always available).

Transcendent Flesh got a huge nerf, no more physical reduction, so the normal gem is just as good now don't waste your cash.

GG gloves would be spiked gloves that either have the "increased crit vs shocked mobs' or 'increased damage vs chilled enememies' with an open prefix to craft phys -> cold conversion. With the new cluster jewels you can get Cold Conduction, allowing your chills to shock as well.

Lots of good cluster jewel options.

Check out the Path of Building! It has a leveling tree per 25 skill points and is very usefull.

Note: During the first 25 points you take a circle close to the starting position, but later you want to remove it and put the points into more valuable nodes. I didn't see this until lvl 90 xD
