[3.23] CoC Ice Nova Build (52% CDR) | Occultist | Affliction | Path of Exile 3.23

Hey guys, cast on crit ice nova occultist build is here. I usually go for 14% cdr version because it's easy to gear around but this time i wanted to try 52% cdr version.
Ice Nova is a cold spell that deals damage in an expanding wave around the player. If the player has any active Frostbolt projectiles, Ice Nova will be cast around those projectiles instead.

Any crucible nodes you would think are really beneficial? I am thinking about global damage or spell leech to energy shield. But I am noob, wanted your opinion.
I have same question like a guy above, what crucible nodes do you recommend for that build?
Nova in Cospri + Nova in 6- link don't work togeher. You Should change nova in cospri to another skill like frezing pulse etc
"Life Reserve: You need "2% increased Reservation Efficiency of Skills" mod on one jewel to be able to use all auras on Prism Guardian."

I have a 3% jewel, the 20% life mastery, and all of the reservation nodes. I still can't use all three in the Prism Guardian. Says my life requirement per aura is 33.33%. Any tips?

Edit, I just realized the jewel is mana reservation. Trying to find another source for generic reservation. Can't find anything IDK how to make the three PA auras work. Maybe drop the Ice Nova enchant for an enchant for one of the auras? worth it?
