[3.5] CheeQu's CoC Ice Nova Assassin - Up to 7m Shaper DPS + Amazing Clearspeed [In-Depth Guide]
" There is also Tempered mind which gives 1500 accuracy above witch start next to the power charge node. It's on the regular path so all we lose is a jewel slot. Dunno if it's worth it though. | |
" after patch notes, it seems the only change is how the speed on cyclone works. Will be interesting to see how it effects hitting those higher breakpoints. |

The nerfs to Cyclone(basically increased area), are going to make this build a clearspeed dream imho.
Anyone noticed how close Wicked Ward is now? OccuAssassin maybe? Ed: What about something like this instead of Lycosidae ?  Last edited by ArisFuser#6403 on Jun 6, 2019, 2:28:57 AM

What is the conclusion about the attack speed breakpoints after the cyclone change? Are we still aiming for 3 or 3.75 attacks per second on cyclone?

Since the new cyclone is taking 300% of the base attack speed, I would think with Cospri's and Starkonja's alone your getting close to the 3.7 to 3.75 APS. I'm going to wait for the new tree and plug it in POB.

" " They said that the new % of base equals out to exactly the same as the former "More Attack Speed" values. Discord also seemed to agree with that notion. Like i mentioned earlier in this thread Cyclone will no longer hit twice by default but instead be based on the weapon. Ill re-quote my original assessment (which seems to hold up from all we know so far) " On another note we now have another nice little cluster available for this build:  The damage is not really relevant but we get 5% Speed, -3 Mana cost and 40% Stun avoidance from this, so if anyone has mana issues or gets stunned a lot or wants to get closer to speed numbers this is not bad to pick up for 3 points.

i get that cyclone dont naturally hit twice now cause of the changes, but for what attacks per second number are we going now?
i am still a bit confused is it still the 3 APS or slower like in the guide or something different? thanks in advance :) |

" The number you need to aim for is still 6.06 APS or 7.57 APS with 14% CDR. Those are CoC's numbers as written in the spoiler section, and those have not changed at all. I can't say for sure how exactly PoB is gonna display the attack rate for the new cyclone, my guess is that it will most likely show 6 APS instead of 3 APS for this build but functionally be identical. |

I have 2 questions :
1. Why do every single CoC build I look into pick the node Fangs of the Viper? It doesn't offer anything besides +5% movement speed, I don't find it worth it. 2. What about Loreweave, since max resistance got nerfed down to 78%, are we still going for that chest ? Affliction and Necropolis worst leagues ever. The current game design has slowly turned this game into a loot-shower fest, chase uniques are way too available; and obtaining chase items through stacked decks and valdo's boxes simply isn't fun.

" 78% max res is still crazy |
