Slowly (for me) the build shown his real power.

@Chronic_Painless: u said if we get a lvl 5 awak cold gem, we could swap out Frost Bomb. Till i have the feeling that frost bomb is my best damage dealer. Maybe iam doing sthg wrong.


My strategy till now:

- try to maintain 10 Blades
- chield charge into packs
- activate flasks
- frequently frost bomb

Is this right?

------

What can we do with the remaining sockel slots. i have some over :D

What phase of the build are you in? Frostbomb should stop being the main killer once you swap to BV in act 6. We only really use it for the cold exposure debuff at that point.

As for strategy, maintaining 10 blades is key, but you'll need to use shield charge AND either flame dash or frostblink. If you try to shield charge at a pack of ranged monsters and are a little too slow, you'll get shotgunned down, so make sure to blink/dash as a gap closer in those situations.

Frost bomb is mainly reserved for really dangerous rares and map bosses when we want an extra damage boost (from the exposure, the actual bomb damage is negligible).

The extra sockets are where a CWDT setup can go in the later stages, but I'm not sure where you are in the evolution.

I swap to occultist and iam now at lvl97.

Biggest problem is to get more than 40% spell suppression.

Therefore my first aim is to reach 100% spell suppression.

---------------

For damage scaling, what is best?

1. crit multi
2. gem level
3. add phys to spell

Maybe my shield is the first piece to change for damage increase....?

Any good Invocation to use on your relic for this build? We can't see what's being used by POE ninja builds for relics can we? I guess Iron Will, Iron Reflexes, or Magebane.

I was wondering about your thoughts on Anomalous Hatred? It seems like divergent is kind of waste like you mention (unless farming chilled ground maps) and obviously the aoe on normal superior hatred is pretty useless if I'm playing solo, so would the extra freeze duration from anomalous be a good replacement?

Hello..

If been following your PoB but I'm currently having problems with equips under 1-5div budget as I can't find some stuff in standard trade. I'm currently transitioning to arm/evd gears with spell suppress.. I have the armor ready but yet to 6L and color it right to use it.. here is my PoB.

Edit: What do you suggets I remove to fit in vaal molten shell and CWDT?

You don't need both Frostblink and Flamedash, but I'd consider giving shield charge a try if you haven't yet.

You can also drop Unbound Ailments Support since it's mostly a luxury. Drop Onslaught Support and grab a Silver Flask as well, you can ditch the Basalt or the Jade.

I'd definitely recommend getting some brittle boots and building out your crit/damage more before going heavily into defense though.

Anyone can help? Char Sancsuhn


On the side:
Any reason why in POB you skill 5% Life/Energyshield and not Profane Chemistry through Impossible Escape?

Hey,

first of all thanks for the amazing guide. I was playing only minion builds up to this point but now I probably wont go back. It is a lot of fun to jump from pack to pack.

I just hit T16 maps and start to run in some issues though. It seeems like my damage and therefore my survivability start to fall of. I am still an Elementalist and was wondering if someone of you can take a look and give me some hints what to do:

Here is my PoB: https://pastebin.com/h450PJCZ

My budget is really low. I think I lack some chaos res but apart from that I am not really sure where to go. I guess my crit chance is low but I do not know how to improve that.

Cheers!
