[3.23] Lk's Cold DoT Ele [League-start to over 40m DoT] (Wildwood Primalist Update)

Any chance someone could take a look at my PoB - https://pobb.in/QzzGzcQlRYbb - and perhaps bestow upon me wisdom regarding potential significant upgrades? My current treasury allows for a budget of 10 divine orbs.

Current plans:
- Maybe swap my gear around, to shed the chains of excessive cold resistance;
- Maybe try to get a better notable armor;
- Maybe try to get an actual good enchant for the helmet.

Nonetheless, I have been having great fun with the build so far, thank you for all your hard work!

Hey! Nice colour scheme~

10 div suggestions:
1. 5-way to lvl 97

2. Frostbite lvl 21 with 0 quality is better - quality only increases the duration

3. Get Shaper ring with higher rolls for increased spell damage e.g.:


4. DD with Ele Weakness/Frostbite

5. You can get 4 sockets on your boots using benchcraft.
a. This will allow you to fit in molten shell (self-cast). If you want a CWDT set-up you will need to give up faster attacks or arcanist brand.
b. Either that or you can add culling strike.

6. Try activating the crucible tree on your shield and hope for good nodes reveal

7. Enchant your weapon for Area of Effect or Elemental Damage. See the images for 5min 23sec of this video: https://youtu.be/mrKqn_Dk2U4?t=323. You can further increase the quality using Jun but that will not be the best use of a 10d budget.

8. Get divergent bonechill. You can get a non-lvl 20 one and level it during your 5-ways.

If I had more budget, I would upgrade the shield for more spell damage and replace the amulet with one that allows for increased effect of non-damaging ailments. Depending on market availability (since it is 6+ weeks into the league), you might be able to get an upgrade for cheap. If you catalyst your elder ring for more resistances, it will relief resist pressure on your amulet/shield (you have a lot of excess cold resist anyway).

I just checked the price of 3, there is one selling for 1.5d atm: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Crucible/BRwmKWQt8

For no. 4, you need to wait for a seller to come online or PM the sellers: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Crucible/QGy9EbOhw

As for the increased effect of non-damaging ailments on amulet, it is also possible to get that line on the shield.

What does increased effect of non-damaging ailments do: increased effect of chill, shock and scorch.

Hi fellow Cold DoT players,

I have just published a new video on scaling DoT DPS from non-damaging ailments: https://youtu.be/TIi4MCyw3mk

I created a video on this topic because non-damaging ailments is a key scaling mechanic for Cold DoT but it appears to be thinly understood by many.

How do I find Forbidden Jewel Duo Set with the specific Frigid Wake in trade. I've searched but can't find one.

Thank you for the detailed upgrade path, @PaPerWaRs.MVP! Appreciated.

Also, the new video regarding the non-damaging ailments is great. I understand now!

You're welcome!

Great~

Wondering if you are using a program or something for the text colouring? I like this highlight in your earlier post: divine orbs
