[3.21] ShakCentral's Cold DoT Elementalist For Everyone

WOW Thank you for the replies! Since I posted I'm 2/3 for the unveils.
Got a bated breath and also was able to get better chest!
- I will spend the currency to craft a better jewel (yup, caught red-handed - only kept that one b/c it dropped with corrupted blood and it was such a QoL!).
- Thank you for clarifying the increased damage over time (as its not a "more" so it's like "increased" right?).
- And will try these dense fossils - will look back on the gloves to see how to do so.
- Going to take a look at growth and decay, too.
- And finally the life flask - I will change that tonight! I don't even use it, I just use 2,3,4,5 flasks on CD (piano) and sort of forgot I had the 1 from prior to CI, lol.

Truly awesome to get such feedback, and so sorry for posting the wrong pastebin! I've updated it now.

I am thinking about using this build for the Gauntlet. Do you think this build will be a solid viable option?
Bought myself an awesome watcher's eye - 3 divines to get it to these stats - might try some more at a later date to perfect it.



Dropped the purity of elements full chaos res I was running and instead switched over to big damage. I had 5m DPS now I'm at around 7.5m with almost 9.2k ES, both can go higher yet with a little more tweaking. Feels really nice to play, strangely seems much faster, I guess bigger damage = more mana = more speed, etc.

Big thanks to donbrawler as I have copied mostly his tree and ideas.

I've really enjoyed this build, its the first time I have ever in my POE playing time had so much currency and played so much. I am having so much fun that I will likely keep playing for a couple more weeks at least and maybe even save enough exalts to get a +4 Shavs to fully max the build out!

I'd like a bit more mana too - my own fault for squeezing the Spider aspect in, though it feels nice to have. Anybody have ideas how I can get a little more available mana? Maybe 50-100 extra. I considered RMR but I don't think even 5% would be enough...

I went slightly heavier on the clusters but I have the same issue. Would like a bit more mana. Only thing I've found is to either try to craft RMR jewels or use one or more of the Commander nodes on the aura cluster jewels to drop the discipline reservation lower. Would require more cash than I have atm.
Nachos? Yes.

I already have a discipline reduced 30% on one of my cluster jewels. I might POB calculate some RMR jewels see what difference that makes first. That will take a while to find/craft and cost a bit though!

I'd be interested to see your cluster jewel setup too if you have a POB (you characters are hidden).
@Kingkano I really like what you did with your tree by grabbing the extra mana reserved and the idea of using Self control/First Among Equals to fit Aspect of the Spider.

Aspect of the Spider is boosting your damage by extra 600k vs using the vengeful/first among equals cluster jewel I use in my setup.

It tried this in my POB and I loose to much of my resistances and have perfect jewels to cap my resist I would hate to recraft jewels haha. I might try crafting another crystal belt and pair of boots to fit in aspect.


@Rowne_Edge I can't see your tree but make sure you have all energy shield/mana nodes (Insightfulness, Mystic Bulwark and Prodigal Perfection). I played with 150 mana for most of the league and I got used to it. I have around 210 mana now, its much better and I think 200 mana is the sweet spot.


Edit: 3 RMR Jewels only gives about 70-80 mana not worth the difficulty/Cost. A Level 1 Vaal Clarity gives 16 seconds of no mana cost to skills if you can fit it in your links.

Unless you are fairly godly gamer. You could use Modz version of this build he has a pretty good Hard Core Solo self found version.

ahhh wow thanks - you are right. I had not turned that on in the POB calcs, adding 3 stacks puts my damage up to 8.2m - amazing!

My mana is 184 so most of the time it's ok, just sometimes it feels uncomfortable right when I want to use a skill. I can probably learn to live with it, since as you say RMR jewels don't add a lot. If I spot 2 or 3 though that might give me that extra 20 mana to make it feel smoother.

I hear you on crafting jewels, that fine tuning of resists is definitely annoying!!

Sorry about that. I'm not on the official forums all that often. They should show up now.

Nachos? Yes.
@Rowen_Edge

I looked at your character and if you want to gain more mana with aspect you just need to put a Level 5 Awakened Blasphemy in your gloves and that will give you 235 mana instead of 126.

Upgrades:
1. You should also get a cinderswallow with 3% for Mana and Energy Shield and get one with reduced mana cost of skills instead of crit enchant.

2. Upgrade your small clusters and jewels to Cobalt Jewels. These offer just as much energy shield and more dmg for way less points.
