Love the build! My second league playing it, just can't stop. Leveling is so smooth and fun.
Got one probably nub question: Why prioritize Demolition Specialist over the Explosive Expert node? Mine Arming Speed doesn't seem to matter with Volatile Mines allocated (?) and elemental penetration with some extra damage looks so much better even in PoB. Unless it's that 20% chance of extra mine coupled with your helm enchant so you can remove Minefield and still feel comfortable?

Play the way you like!
If it suits you change the guide!
Be a rebel!

But don’t forget to stay hydrated.

Serious answer: try it and have fun

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but...why increased critical strikes gem over elemental focus/controlled destruction. PoB puts both of those significantly higher, and I'm not sure that it's that big of a deal to no longer be able to freeze enemies...

Another noob question, what's the purpose of full conversion from physical to cold? If it is to make it easier for cold penetration, how does PtL before the helmet enchant help since it's lightning based?

I've farmed enough currency with my inquisitor, well I got really lucky with those drops. I'm gonna start a sabo soon and will attempt a fast mapper and boss killer variation. Unsure if it will work at the moment but I'll keep you guys posted soon enough :)

Asking Questions is the right way.
You should switch them around in Path of Building and then look at the average Hit Damage not only in the Individual listing in the link.
Both Controlled Distruction and Elemental Focus have trade offs.
Some Builds can deal with them and some don’t.
F.ex Spark with 5% base Crit and Controlled Destruction will Stil crit a lot.

The Freeze from GC is offenes and Defense in one.
Play without it and see if you die more or not.

Bottom line: Keep testing and improving.
Maybe your own setup is better for you :-)

Conversion is strong for more than just penetration.
It also will get more Elemental Damage modifiers if 100% of physical is converted to Elemental.
Then you can increase the Base Physical Damage and still get more.

Hope that helps.

Everything for Glacial Cascade is so damn expensive this league.....won't even have a chance at The Long Winter or helm enchant for quite some time.

Shaper easily done, 45k tooltip at HO.



My gear so far:

If we cant get helm enchant, do you guys think 2 long winter jewels are necessary? I am using hrimsorrow atm, it does the same think when it comes to conversion but long winter jewels have "Glacial Cascade has an additional Burst" mod is it better than regular 3 mod damage jewel?

I am not really sure they are worth for about 40c total in beastiary,and hrimsorrow isnt too bad compared to any regular glove what do you guys think? Whats the advantage to use 2 threshold jewels vs hrimsorrow/burn?

Hi guys,
I usually don't craft much, but I got this after couple alts and wanted to ask, if this dagger is worth meta-crafting.
phys - cold is Tier 2
ele pen Tier 3
