Guardians/Shaper/Atziri are chill/freeze inmune. Hypothermia is only good for clearspeed if you lack dps and a dead link in maps with avoid status ailments. There is no replacement for MS, autoaim + AS are BiS on this build in any map but Atziri.


Can you give me a source for that? My understanding was that GGG removed the Chill immunities in 3.0.

"
Many unique monsters which were previously immune to Ailments have had their immunities removed, with the exception of Freeze. Notably, this includes several Beyond Demons, the Atziri Trio, Atziri herself, The Shaper and his Guardians, among others.


I just wonder whether cold damage automatically chills or if it needs to meet a certain damage threshold.

About MS, well, I'm not so sure. It's neither among the top 5 support gems damage-wise in PoB (at least with my gear) nor do I need the auto aim vs a single boss. But being locked in place for 3 consecutive attacks (at +90% haste) has killed me several times. At least I'd like to blame it on that ;)


You are right, with the changes hypothermia is a great multiplier for all content including endgame bosses though I wouldnt consider it a replacement for MS and it doesn't play that well with EF since one would need another source of chill.

Guyz, really need halp here. Can someone suggest why coh-HoI-AM-hatred setup doesn't work? Curse just doesnt triggers.
it should work, it does for me, problem is it's almost a wasted curse as it won't help you against bosses when you need it.

Elemental Focus on your Frost Blades is the reason. It's mechanically complicated, the problem is that your Frost Blades don't cause ailments now. For HoI to apply the curse you need the mobs to shatter which they only do when they are frozen.
Anyone else had trouble with dps? What to improve/change to get more? T14+ maps are not great farming

Why Ice Bite over Melee Physical Damage?

- % Elem dmg on your rings (Opal)
- Cold and Attack damage on your rings
- Critical on your rings
- % Elem dmg on your belt
- 25 or 40% on Frostblades for your helmet

Simply Lv21 Icebite (w/ 7 frenzy charges) > Lv21 or Lv20 MeleePhy > Lv20 Icebite (w/ 7 frenzy charges)
Otherwise, Icebite supp is my favorite one.
Because, Icebite provides +15% freeze chance and +200k icyblades(ranged) dps.
Those are really good for mapping.

Ok, but why in your opinion lvl21 icebite is better than meleephys, but lvl20 isn't. I know there's slight difference in dps but overall utility and high dps stays the same.
