Is a cold dot crit build an actual thing?

I have this here but if cold dots are not a thing it is kinda useless

I don't know of one off the top of my head, but maybe it does exist, or you could make something.

A lot of good stats, but some of them conflict a bit because of applying to different kinds of damage.

Perfect agony's uses crit multi and there are ways to scale the cold damage with poison or ignite, but stats are split between attack and spell mods and the DOT multi mod would not be useful, so defeats the purpose.

Maybe something like Volkur guidance, Poison Coc-ice nova. Would use both attack crit and spell. To be utilizing both Dot multi and crit multi it would need to by hybrid hit/dot. I don't know if it could actually be any good, but that's the only thing I can come up with that might use all those mods. Hexblast is something else that comes to mind, but I don't think it works with COC because of the cooldown. Can't see anyone doing anything like that, it is probably not possible.

Pretty sure (?) Ziz has done a cold dot Occultist build.
~ I play slowly.
Cold dot occultist is definitely a build, but im not sure if it would utilize these crit multipliers?

Haha, maybe a streamer should get to it. Hello, Mr. Streamer, what is the best way to utilize all these T1 affixes? And please don't tell me the vendor


Wonder if any streamer is doing community item showcase
Some items a destine to rot in your stash while looking pretty this might be one of them imo.
I mean thats what I expected. But since I am not much of a theorycrafter I had to make sure
There is currently no way to utilize crit on a cold dot build. Perfect agony only applies to ailments and cold dot is not an ailment so that's that. It's the main reason imo why the new FBoK likely will never be a thing, there are simply no synergies to be had in terms of damage scaling.
