Of course there is potential to craft +5 staff that will outdmg PoH but it's still mirror tier item.
nice build :)

Love the build working on it atm. Level 71 got myself the pledge 5 link its 6 sockets but only 5 link atm. Question playing on the xbox. I can't seem to find anyone with a Pandemonius. Is it under Jade amulet or something else in trade?
I only have one LCJ and I'm worried about losing a ton of eHP if I respec into a second LCJ since I'll lose deep thoughts and cruel preparations. How much eHP should I have after adding a second LCJ?

thank you very much for this guide. With this build I got one of the easiest 36 challenges i have ever gotten in a league. It was a really good ride and I definitely intend to play it next league! once again, thank you very much!
Hey guys,

If someone selling a BIS or close to full set for this build on Standard PC, shoot me a message :)

I'm not sure how you even went about testing that, but Jesus.

It involved tossing a lot of level 1 frostbolts at a skeleton. I would run Vitality and Conversion Trap it so I could heal it and keep reusing it. Then Resolute Technique to take away crit RNG. Finally some stacked Astonishing Affliction/Overshock cluster jewels to test stacking effect of shock. And yeah, this was how I assumed Cold Snap would work when I incorporated it into the build way back, but it's nice to have some confirmation.

This sounds like a meme, but I have improved the build by taking a THIRD large socket (near Resolute Technique) for a third copy of our Large Jewel (Blanketed Snow/Prismatic Heart/Widespread Destruction/2 Jewel Sockets). I got 7% more DPS and 12% chaos res for the cost of 2-3% less EHP, this will be mitigated as I get better jewels as I tossed my crappiest jewels in the last 2 sockets.

For this I deallocated Throatseeker, deallocated Holy Dominion and moved the pathing to the Purity of Flesh area, and swapped two spare life nodes for Purity of Flesh.

This setup is still experimental so it's not in the Final PoB yet, but you can check my character's skill tree.

The only potential issue I see is how much we rely on chill (3x Blanketed Snow, Pandemonius). 95% ailment avoid maps will be annoying, you can still toss down Cold Snap for guaranteed chill though. I think if you run Misinformation it'll bump it to 100% though, so I would avoid doing that.


Does overshock work with cold-conduction shocks? Meaning...will i get 'up to 60% more damage' by shocking it with cold-conduction chills?
Shock is increased damage, not more, and you would have to get 300% increased shock effect in order to reach the 60% cap, which would require you to sacrifice a lot of both offense and defense. This is all assuming that Cold Conduction shock counts as "your" shock, which is a nebulous area to begin with.

I cannot thank you enough sir. I really appreciate the response.
Ok so i just crafted this staff and I'm really proud.
