[3.20] ❄️❄️ Velyna's Hollow Palm Ice Crash ❄️ ❄️ Leaguestart Section | Hidden and Feared Viable

"
Firstly let me say thanks for the build guide. I'm enjoying the playstyle and feel of the build.

I do have questions for the defence side of the build, any input from anyone would be appreciated.

Enemy spells are dealt with fine with 100% spell suppression chance. But I seem to be getting one shot a lot by attacks.

The defence layers I have set up now include:
-The armour and evasion included in the POB tree.
-Lions Roar
-Immortal call CWDT
-Capped Ele Res
-Lunaris pantheon
-4.2k Life

I still am struggling with T12+ content. Also Why do we tick : Do you have endurance Charges in POB configuration for the endgame POB? What is our source of endurance charges? Am II missing something?

Thanks in Advance.



Endurance charges are generated with Enduring Composure. And yes build is fucking fun but I died over 450 times with 40k armour, hinder/maim immunity, corrupted blood immunity, fortify support, %75 elemental ailment avoidance, spell suppression chance, pantheon, overcapped ele res, lions roar, 4.1k life. Shit happens. We are melee and GGG is hating all the melee players.

Wish I just went with the meta and play necro ffs.

Looks like you changed your tree around a bit, to test defenses I guess.

I don't believe Iron Reflexes is a good idea here.

Possibly you aren't freezing reliably enough without Frostbite?

That's a lot of deaths and I'm not sure why that would be.

Just realized that Supreme Ego was changed does anyone know how much damage we lost cause of it or if it's the same?

I'm not there yet but I feel like I'll reach it. There's just not so much defense that can save us from really big one shots but for most of the time everyone's frozen due to frostbite and it's quite nice.

I'm following Velyna's build this league instead of optimizing my tree for damage and despite only having 2.9k HP I've died less than last league. The top guy on PoE ninja uses the dex to armor set up but I feel like you need way more investment to really make that version work.

For survivability frostbite makes a huge difference, even self casting it on dangerous rares/packs might be helpful

The endurance charges come from small cluster, and also you can add Fortify to that list.

So usually when people say this I tell them that damage will increase your defense, because everything will be frozen.

There is also the option to go Iron Reflexes. I don't personally like the feel of it but some people do so you can try that out if you want.

4.2k is quite low on the HP side, higher rolls on ring would help a lot and you will also get more from the boots as DEX goes up.

The helm enchant would be a big increase in your freeze power.

If what you are dying to is boss type mobs, the boot enchant will help with that through more DPS also.



Thanks for the Advice!, after reorganising my flask I manage to beat the searing exarch and eater of worlds last night. And this was even before taking any changes you recommended. Thanks for sharing the build, I think this is the smoothest league start I ever had.

I will definitely be looking into getting better rings, helmet and boot enchants. Just accumulating currency now
Got a brutal restraint with:

20% Increased Ele damage

5% increased Dex (x2)

8% effect of auras

5% global accuracy rating

Is this worth keeping for now or should I keep divine-ing for something better? Never used historic jewels in a build before

That's great for now, later on you can buy another jewel and start rolling it to beat that one!

Yeah Frostbite was the really key for it. Only thing can kill me now is detonate dead strongboxes and it is completely normal lmao. Thanks again for every advice, build feels awesome right now with 2.5m mapping DPS. (using grace for caution, maybe hatred can rocket it to *3m DPS kek.)

To start with thanks for the build Velyna. It's been a lot of fun so far!

Now question time. What neck enchant should we be going with? I don't believe you mentioned it in your video and you show several different ones between the forum equipment and the various POBs.
