Which is better? Hybrid or go to a pure ES + CI version?

There's "pure Life" too, you know? ;)

But in the end it all boils down to personal preferences. The build is still all about piling up jewel sockets, just pick up whatever defenses you need/want along the way.

Speak for yourself! ;)

haha, ooops, i guess i was speaking for myself. ;)

Well... it just works fine for me as is so I really feel no need to invest heavily in order to squeeze out a bit extra life or damage here 'n there. Being "gear locked" is a bit of a pain in the behind but then, this is PoE so what's new? ;)

To report back regarding Chill with BCS, it is really noticeable, 17% chill effect equals Temporal Chains lvl 29 vs rare/unique monsters and not being a curse means Chill doesn't suffer from 50-60% reduced effectiveness vs map bosses or the likes of Shaper/Elder, so yeah, I do like it better than Blind Support which requires 10 hits every 2 seconds to be applied permanently.

dropping my CWDT > enfeeble is the only way i could work BCS into build. Ill have to sit on that one a bit as it sounds solid. I'm strongly considering taking your lead there, i think it will make my setup stronger and not get dinged from curse on bosses.

Well, your lvl 5 Enfeble isn't very efficient at map bosses. And Enfeeble when triggered by CDWT will be cast at your location you so when you take a ranged/area hit you're not likely to curse the attacker.

Maybe Storm Brand, EP, CoH + max lvl Enfeeble would be a better solution. Unless you want to cast max lvl Enfeeble manually where needed. But lvl 5 Enfeeble doesn't really make much sense (60% reduced effect vs Shaper & Co, 50% vs regular map bosses).

Today its primary purpose is for delve or packs in maps and so it is effective in that regard. That said, i like to build comprehensively to support all content and may mirror your boot gems except SB in place of Arc and ditch CWDT > enfeeble altogether. :)

Do you have a source of "adds cold damage" (to spells)? doesn't have to be a ring craft, cam be a hypnotic eye jewel w nice ES/Life rolls.

Without this Chill is too infrequently, only while you have Chilling/Elemental Conflux.

As for CoH, quality with it is nice for 10% incr. Curse Effect.

I dont, but im sure i can spend another ex on a hypnotic. :) does added cold dmg support or ice bite for arc/sb work in this case? SB > cold dmg > EP > BCS?

Yeah, both Added Cold Damage and Ice Bite will add flat cold dsmsge to your lightning spell of choice.

Never mind chance ro freeze, this ain't gonna happen, way too much damage per hit required for that.

And don't spend big cash on some jewel yet, use a random jewel with adds cold damage to spells just to see if an how it works for your with Storm Brand and proliferation.

My thoughts exactly, ty!
