Drop Tabula Rasa, drop maligaro's virtuosity, and get more defensive stuff. MOre life!

Just level a bit higher and then try it again... it doesnt make sense to rush it. A few level later he will be easy...

Hey Bashtart,

i was wondering why do you link Herald of Ice + Arctic Armour + Onslaught?

Why link with Onslaught when HoI is not going to get the killing blow.

The shatter effect of HoI will trigger onslaught.

Thanks a lot for this build, i think i'll like it a lot!For the moment, the leveling is safe but...the double firestorm dps is really low , even with fire blast i find this really really slow. Cureently lvl 58. My first char of the league is a glacial cascade miner, and at this lvl i was OS izaro in the cruel lab, with this one it take me some mins each phase .

I hope it will get better after, if we need to switch after lvl 70/75+ it will be so long

Yeah the leveling a bit boring with dual totems but you also can level with some selfcast spell if you prefer that. The best way to increase the totem dps is to increase the cast speed... you may also just spec into a few totem passives for leveling.

so the when enemy gets frozen and shatters, it will count as a killing blow and potentially get onslaught charges?

Hey bashtart, great guide currently level 79 and really enjoying the build at the moment!, just a question about where you say to upgrade the maps
-T5 Toxic Sewers
-T10 Seige
-T12 Torture Chambers
-T15 Sunken City
Is this to obtain the right pantheons or just your preferred maps to farm? sorry for the nooby question, still kindof new. Haven't captured any of the pantheon bosses/souls yet! :)

Also how and what does attack speed effect this build??

Cheers!

Newish player here doing my first full league, so I might have some noob questions. Enjoying the build about to reach 75 and use the Doryani Scepter I bought. I like how shield charge works with the abyss helm which shoots off the spirit spell which can just keep chaining as I go along. Reminds me of Cospri's.

I chose GC variant because I had some lvl 20 gems laying around from another build. I also chose it because of some good cold gems I had and lastly because I couldn't understand why you would want to have multiple spells (LT and Spark) and then throw in an attack skill (BV) since it won't take advantage of cast speed or vice versa. So can somebody explain that? Seems inefficient.

Secondly, Blood Rage. Since I'm doing all casting, is this spell really worth it? I've not done the boss kill to capture the pantheon. So should I ditch for now? What would be a good replacement?

Lastly, I've been following the PoB for the GC variant which puts spark in a 4 link gloves and LT/GC in the chest. Since I'm using spark 90% of the time and only using LT/GC for single target, does it really make sense to be wasting 5-6 links on it?

Thanks again for the build, it's been fun so far. I've played a GC totem, a Ngamahu MS, and a Cold Poet Pen build this season. This so far is right up there with any of them in enjoyment.

Firstly, i'm glad that you're enjoying the build along with the rest of us!
BV (Blade Vortex) is a physical SPELL and therefore will benefit from cast speed and also the increased duration nodes near the Scion start for a little bit of QoL.

Blood Rage is absolutely worth it for map clearing even without the Soul of Arakaali shenanigans since the increased attack speed and frenzy charge generation improves your shield charge movement speed.

Finally, Spark clears trash on a 4-link with the appropriate setup and therefore those extra 2 links are technically "wasted" when you could use GC in a 6-link where those links actually contribute to how fast you kill the boss. It's essentially, would you rather have a 5-10% increase in map clear speed or 40-50% increase in boss killing speed? If you're like me and using the build purely for speedy map clearing (no bosses) then you would pick the map clear option, if you're like Bashtart who designed this build to be an all-rounder then you'd pick the boss killing speed.

Hope this information helped!
