Hi, I'm planning on playing a vortex occultist for the 3.13 league start, but I am undecided between a normal vortex build such as yours, vs a coldslinger build? Could you explain the main differences and why I should choose either? Or does it not make too big of a difference? Thanks

What do you think about the new Hydrosphere skill? Does it have any potential to replace anything from the current skill setup?

same here, i would be very interested, if this could be in any form possible? thanks to king shak and community

I would say no. It would only be useful if we could keep it shocked while not keeping it chilled, so it doesn't mess up EE. As we drop cold snaps and vortexes everywhere, it will probably be chilled all the time, pulsing with cold hits and messing up EE.

I tried the current 3.13 PoB with Elementalist and it seems to be stronger with equivalent gear/tree( simed with the Ci lvl80 tree and ci gear

Anyone tried to sim witht he new PoB updates getting the same results?

I went with :


Shaper of winter/mastermid of discord and Heart of destruction

I was curious since other thought Elementalist might be strong and have been testing this morning and my CI POB looses 2mil dps, LL looses 4mil dps with the new changes.

I even tried modified life version with golems and its garbage compared to Occultists.

You loose to much going Elementalist.

1. Cold Dot doesn't benefit from 5 out of the 6 Golems which give Attack and Cast Speed, Critical Hit Chance, Accuracy and life Regen.

3. The only useful Golem, Flame Golem only gives 15-20 increased dmg compared to loosing 15% more Cold is already a big no for me.

3. No Double curse unless you spec 3 points on the tree. Not to mention Occultists struggles with gem links so fitting in a Extra golem is giving up a gem socket that is needed.

4. Huge loss in defense by loosing Vile Bastion with no energy regen that forces you to use more points on the tree for Wicked Ward or have two Medium clusters to make up for loosing Vile bastion.

5. The damage boost from Heart of Destruction is not up 100% of the time

I can't decide between this build and BB Chieftain. Which one would adapt best to the playstyle of Ritual especially the multiple bosses? I'm concerned about boss damage...

Is there something wrong with the PoB link? It says "this build uses an unrecnizable skilltree" if I try to open it. PoB doesn't find any updates if I search either.

cold dot elementalist don' use golems, they use shaper of storm to get at least 15% shock all the time with the initial hit of your skills, so 15% more damage, and bastion of elements for extra defence. Goratha is actually going cold elementalist, but life based with MoM. He tested the numbers and elementalist really have more DPS with this setup. So it is an option, not so good for ES early on tho.
