So I'm trying to figure out what next steps to take. I think a 6 link PoH is the way to go, so I'm saving for that, but wondering if there is anything else I should do before that?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, sorry I've neglected to check on this thread. Although I see we have a lot of veteran players answering questions here which is great.

I just updated the slides with a bunch of info about Ice Nova supports in 3.9, including relative DPS of Awakened supports and setups for ailment immune setups.

I was pretty surprised (and annoyed) to find that the 100% ailment avoidance map mod also excludes chilled ground so there is literally no way to chill enemies in such maps. For this reason I now recommend using Cold Penetration Support instead of Hypothermia. You can find more elaborate gem swap setups in the slides. (You still lose damage in these maps but not as much. BTW, don't bother casting Cold Snap in these maps, it literall)

I've been thinking more about this build and I want to try a setup with Farrul's Fur and boots with Tailwind on Crit. This setup will have more DPS and speed but slightly less defenses. The Tailwind mod is so insanely broken that I have to try to incorporate it.

So Inspiration Support is out?

Hey guys. Just leveling up with this build. But I'm poor and noob so I will not be able to buy 6l Pledge for a while. Will I be able to do higher tier maps with only 5l and which gem should I skip then? Controlled Destruction?

Alright, thanks. And another stupid question. Why do we use Controlled Destruction to begin with? I mean, we stack crit chance and crit multipliers and then use a gem that doesn't let our Ice Nova crit.
