Also, why do they have rightous fire linked, when we have 1 life? the gem gets canceled instantly..???

Don't pay any attention to the links in the gear section. Check the Links section, where Kelvynn says:

-----------------

Gloves/Boots/Helm:

2L: Vortex - Bonechill

4L (optional): Enlighten + aura gems

4L: CWDT - Immortal Call - Increased Duration - Frost Bomb lv 1
Eventually replace Frost Bomb with Phantasmal Wave of Conviction 20q for a more efficient application of Cold Exposure (note that it must be Phantasmal and 20q).

Place in any free sockets: aura gems (if not using Enlighten) and any extras (Frostblink, Frost Shield, Vigilant Strike). Make sure not to link the aura gems to any supports that can increase their mana cost.

------------------

There is no righteous fire. We used to use Vaal Rightous Fire in previous leagues, before it got nerfed. You must be looking at something old.

Hi guys, a noob question: How to craft the base helmet and glove for upgrade? If i understand correctly, we want intelligence, max es, increased max es, resistance and need one empty for upgrade, so is there a efficient way to craft the base item?
Hoping a step guide to craft these, thanks!

For both, the easiest way to craft them is deaf essence of spite spam until you get :

For the helmet (ideally base ilvl 75-79 to secure %int t1 or t2) :
> Int (from essence)
> %ES and/or Flat ES
> 1 resistance
Once you have this, be sure you have only 1 suffix left (you can craft a random prefix to lock) -> Slam an Hunter Orb
> Craft %ES or Flat ES

For the gloves (ilvl wont help you but it's better to have ilvl 84+ - more chance for decent/high resistance) :
> Int (from essence)
> %ES and/or Flat ES
> 1 resistance + Aspect of the Spider or 2 resistances
> Craft +ES or %ES or whatever you need if you have both and an empty slot

Here is 2 examples to help

Spoiler

Thank you for this, it is so clear even I managed to use the info to make myself a helmet worth maybe 8EX.

Thank you! also quick question, is CWDT in that link maxed or level 1, same with Immortal Call? I ask as one of the 2 CWDT's in the gem link section states one is maxed, but i'm unsure which one.

You can always preview the characters of other players to check. CWDT 20-20 imortal - adjust to your strength. CWDT chest-1.

CWDT lvl 1 won't trigger for Phantasmal WoC 20/20 - it req at least lvl 20 CWDT
Can trigger lvl 1 Frost Bomb but again won't trigger lvl 20 Immortal Call. So imho CWDT lvl 20

I've done some tweaking to this build like someone has said, and now i'm curious to know whether shocking nova to proc curses is viable since it increase the effectiveness of shock and can you run a vessel of vinktar to get that 10% increase damage taken by enemies if they are shocked?

However on my POB it calculates my vessel of vinktar to give me a negative dps instead which i don't get, WTF? does anyone have any idea? or am i missing something?

No idea what's going on with POB. What I find useful is to go to the Calculations tab and look at the line by line differences in dps between using vinktar and not.

POB isn't always 100% correct.

Second, the first jewel (2 x discipline) is far far better defensively.

The second is nice if you want to bump up your ES for ego.

So .. At times I get poisoned or cursed whatever it is, I dont even know what.
I just see my shield going down like something is draining it in a few seconds ..constant pase .. and dead.

Anybody knows what the hell it is? Or how to stop it from destroying my shields?

Also at times I run into a the odd monsters ..mostly spiders ..that completely bypass my shield and just 1 shot me. What the hell is it?

Seriously this game needs death logs -.-"

You may need cobalt- Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you, they are cheap. You certainly don't need a bottle of life when you're already on CI. Before you get Watcher's Eye +24 Energy Shield gained for each Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline your ES recovery is not satisfactory. This league is troublesome on the defense. Where do they give out such rings?

That's corrupted blood. You lose your ES a lot faster IF YOU ARE MOVING. Just make an auto-staunch flask and, if it runs out, as it sometimes does, just stop moving.
