[3.24] Frostbolt/Ice Nova Hierophant | 100m DPS | All Content

Yeah, that node is useless if you have already anointed Heart of Ice. (0.2% is more than enough to bring you to leech cap.)

The crit cluster jewel looks decent but ultimately I don't think it is worth it. It would be better just to put a normal jewel there and spend the extra points elsewhere on the tree. I checked out your character (you have insane gear btw, lol), and in your case you could use those points to go for a third cluster jewel. https://pastebin.com/LVZaAnrA

I had to remap the tree you did a little because the three nodes you unmapped near Arcane Vision (Nimbleness and cast speed/crit chance x2) are actually extremely vital--they give me 3% life, 13% Fire Res (which I desperately need), and a 32/42 Thaumaturgical Aptitude.

Keeping your third cluster setup, here's what I came up with: https://pastebin.com/dcfj9STY

The three cluster setup comes out to ~140 more HP and 10mil DPS (I always uncheck Vaal RF because it feels like some real PoB warrior stuff for consistent DPS evaluation), but all of that depends on finding two more top end 4-affix jewels to socket, which might be a little difficult. Furthermore, my current setup at 9.58mil DPS is actually quite a bit more, since PoB doesn't calculate chance to do double damage on crit from the crit cluster jewel. It actually comes out slightly ahead in damage.

As for insane gear, you should've seen what I put together last league...

EDIT: Just did the recalculation of 5% double damage chance, and it's basically equivalent to the three cluster, so I guess I gotta go jewel shopping again.

Ah I see. You could also probably get a decent Assassin's Mark ring with fire resist on it to help out.

Didn't realize you had ticked on Endurance Charges and switched to +2 passive points bandits. I don't like using Endurance Charges in PoB since they're unreliable in boss fights and it throws of my resistances calculations. Dropping Alira and Endurance Charges means I'm way undercapped on resistances, so I've decided to push for 100. As a consequence, I haven't had enough opportunity to test Hypothermia vs. Conc Effect for bossing. More info later.

I have been playing last day and a half with Hypothermia instead of concentrated effect, and I must say for me, it feels substancially safer to blindly run into anything now. Extra range is really nice. As far as damage goes, did not really noticed any difference, everything dies just as fast.

Hey Arcinde, just a quick question about the weapon, in regards to the Pledge of Hands "news".

Would Taryn's Shiver staff be an alternative? Or is GSE still >>> all (despite no increases in AoE and DPS)?

may i ask how do you all get 5 offcolours on your farruls chest?

vorici calc says 8k chromatics at least: uff

or did you manually craft it with bench,

if so, wouldn´t that also cost a lot of jewellers?

You dont need offcolours or 5 link for farrul. Just switch some of your gems from boots/gloves/helm to chest. You can check my char TemplarSvin to make it clearer.

Bench 3-color recipe seems to have a reasonable chance to give you other off-colors.

Sincerely,
Someone who spent way too many chromatics this league only to realize I should've just put those gems in my gloves and helmet.
