I used to have run cold snap vortex and looking at starting my old guy again. How come I can't see people using shavs? Also presence of chayula? Are these not good anymore or what?

i'm a LOT more consistent since switching to CI and having >12K ES, it's night and day for me anyway, never again Shavs in endgame

Shavs is great you get a little less eHP but a bit more damage however, it's vastly more expensive and it's a pure headache to gear and sort the attribute requirements >.<

I started this league with the build as LL shavs but the reason I'm not making a guide note about it is 2 factors
1) Budget, most my guides are designed to be as cheap as possible with proper upgrade options
2) Upgrade option, shavs is a great option for this with higher budget, the main problem is the attribute requirement balance which is a pure headache and making the guide cover all aspects of what you can sort with that will actually make my guide hit the cap of how many letters I'm allowed to use in the guide so I decided not to include it :P

I agree. After trying both LL and CI versions of the build, the CI build is tankier and cheaper to gear for while also providing enough damage to trivialize all content. I will most likely be doing the CI build again with the new league :)

For builds that don't have any armor, such as this one, doesn't Granite flask provide more physical damage reduction then Basalt flask?

PSA:

This build will be updated live on stream when we receive patch notes this coming wednesday, same goes with all my other build guides here on the forums as I do every league :)

Good shit.

gotta tell y'all, this is one tanky mofo running CI and >12k ES... clear is kinda slow but for bossing/metas? It's very fcking good. Hell I just watched Baeclast and even the GGG guy is going cold DOT in 3.10 so that tells me something

Awesome! Thanks dude.

Hey man, since we can't check out the full guide on your YT channel, any chance you can update them here? Mostly wanna see your final gear, and your second/third choice as options.

Cheers!
