Cyclone Cospri is my bane.

I used to play it, but it wasn't dealing enough damage, and it wasn't tanky enough, and it just didn't work at all.

I've come back to planning it out on PoB, and I still just can't seem to make it work. It just needs too much. I can't make it meet ANY of my standards whatsoever.




- The cold spells just feel weak as a base. I haven't tried shotgunning Creeping Frost, but I'm not sure if it'll work out well when automated through CoC.
- Needing accuracy, max crit, decent movespeed while channeling Cyclone, decent AoE size, and strong mana management, ALL as baseline requirements just feels like such an innate stress test.
- All of this leaves ABSOLUTELY no room for any sort of EHP whatsoever, let alone any sort of RECOVERY.


The rough draft I just put together only has about 1 mil DPS, maybe 10k Physical EHP, and doesn't even have ANY AoE size increase at all. I still need a ring, helm, and gloves, but they aren't going to triple my EHP and 10x my DPS, so I'm just at a loss... Cospri is so fun, but I just CANNOT make it work in the long run.

When was the last time you guys tried out Cospri? I dunno if it's just not clicking for me, but it seems unplayable. (Unless the path to victory is, as I somewhat suspect, ignoring EHP and just memeing with pure offense... as usual.)

Just play the game. Don't rely on PoB too much.

Well, I wanted to cook something up before I started investing into it, you know? Also to get a good idea of WHAT I may need to invest.


That being said, I'm currently doing okay on this iteration I have right now! But it does need more survival and damage, lol. Gotta figure out how to squeeze things in, but I should be able to, since I have some overcapped stats.

While I like it since you constantly get that satisfying crunch sound from all the shattered frozen objects, it really needs really really nice gear given all the stats you need.

Like my hollow palm and exploding arrow both have specific requirements, but they also effectively get better mileage for less, and they've already been hit by the nerf bat. Even my RF variations had more room to work with.

I guess the best way I could put it is you basically feel like you need near perfect gear because you basically need to get every stat you can from every slot, especially if you want to hit that 100% crit and attack speed high enough (or close to) to trigger the coc at its cap. But even then, there are other ways to get much higher damage with easier scaling, at least from what I found.
