Is having all 7 power charges really important to dps or can I make do with 6 for awhile? I'm still planning to eventually have all 7 but I'm pretty high level and levels don't come that fast anymore. I'm torn between the final power charge and the celestial punishment passive and I can't make a decision.

Each power charges gives u 50% more crit chance.
You can handle without it for now, but its great for our crit-based build.

You decide.

@tululum - not sure why u dont get frenzy often, I get them most of the time.
Anyways Culling Strike is great swell, u can do that if u prefer.

Hi there,

I started PoE in december so I'm pretty new in this game. This char is my second real one.

I play team-loot with 2 friends of mine (we don't trade), so I won't have all end-game items. We got one "The Pact" card so maybe I'll get a PoH someday ^^

Here is my current tree :


And the stuff (well, remember, we don't trade ^^ I try to optimize life/%res):


I switch to this staff in order to kill bosses

I don't have enough mana to activate Herald of Ice+Arctic Armour+Clarity, so I don't activate Clarity, and I took Deep Thoughts and an amulet with %mana regen, this is not perfect but seems good enough. When my Enlighten will be lvl 2 I'll put it on my gloves instead of the second Ice Nova (just levelling this IN in order to 20q it). I started moving to acrobatics/phase acrobatics, I'll have them when I'll reach lvl 82. And I don't have vaal grace... (don't really want to use vaal orbs on grace gems to have a chance to get one... so I have to loot one)

The DPS is not very high but still good enough to play in a4 merciless and maps, and the survivability is not bad (well... except against some bosses but I assume it's expected with my stuff, and should be better with acrobatics)

Well I'm still far from lvl 100, but would it be good to take Fingers of Frost instead of Revenge of the Hunted? Would provide lots more freeze so better survivability? Or is it still better to get life/evasion in order to avoid one-shot? I was also thinking about Heart and Soul, no evasion bonus but more life than RotH and more mana

Still have lots of things to learn about the game so I'm just trying to figure out what could be good or not, and why.

Thanks for this awesome build, made me learn a lot about how some mechanics and gems work, and this is a very enjoyable build :)

edit: nvm dumb question

What about playing this with a templar? :D

yep Templar is the 2nd variation of this build. the tree is correct.

Hey im at a point where i can do T13+ maps solo easy BUT when i play with a good DPS party with 3+ member i noticed a bad experience dps wise from my side.

Im not able to generate enough Power charges for the increased crit chance.
At this point i feel very useless because im doing non existing damage compared to the other guys in the party.

Do i something wrong or is the build more solo playing?

Here is my stuff:



4,1k Life / 350 Mana

@Pynea - wats ur dps in town?

is this build viable for beginners (first time playing PoE)? because im planning to create a character to just farm and grind gears and currencies stuff like that before i create my own build. Thx in advance..

it was my frist build in poe, and i dont recommend it for newbies, very expensive gear, easy to die without proper gear, not very mf viable with lack of knowlage, but when u get the gear and get used to this build, its one big destruction, you just destroy the whole game. (Expect Core - Colosseum - Uber)i did those maps, but not deathless.

I am also doing this build, managed to find a pledge of hands, (not the best, but sometimes beggar's can't be choosers)

level 84 and loving the build, only thing, I have yet to cap lightning resist, otherwise, other two are capped.

I would totally agree with what ptoop84 said, this is NOT beginner friendly. My own experience of the build,

Pre level 60 and with a rare staff, (hard going, died a lot) <- four linked gear)

pre level 60 and found a 5 linked Taryn's Shiver for 45 fusings (still have, I might not part with it) the build starts to take off, (my problem was, I had the wrong colours, and didn't have faster casting) (and I would agree that is more essential then added cold damage) as it really helps with your survivability no end)

post level 70 and getting better gear, and found a pledge of hands, not the highest spell damage, the build does start to take off, especially when I managed to 5L it. DPS isn't too bad now, no real mana issues. but yeah, I would suggest playing with another build for the time being and come back to this one. its fun, but you do need to spend a bit to get it working. But once you do, it really is a fun build.
