Just one tip, forgot about doryani scepter just pick any Topotantes scepter (usualy 1-10c) just make sure it has open suffix and craft here "trigger a socketed spell when u use a skill" (for 3c)

it will auto curse, frost bomb and cold snap or whatever spells u pick.
imho it makes playstyle much more fun.

Where as I think its a valid option, I still prefer the catalyst.

Catalyst has the prolideration and attack speed for Herald of ice chain reaction and move speed for map clears.

Secondly, by socketing cold snap and frost bomb and curse into it, you do gain the ability to manual curse, but lose ability to support cold snap with bonechill and Inc +107% chill effect, which is a direct DPS loss for you main skill, a large one, especially on Uber single target.

Is there anyway to bump up the cast speed some? My gear is in no way optimized and the play style is super fluid but I'd really love to lower the ramp up time on BV. Apart from 3 nodes on the tree, 10% on the scepter, and 19% from Arcane Surge once it procs I assume that's all the build offers. Guess I could make some up in the jewels but I'm sure they'd cost a fortune.

I'mo its not worth going out of your way to extensively get cast speed, You will always be bottlnecked by your ability to recover mana as we are not an ascendancy that offers any regeneration bonuses.

Onslaught on kill jewel affix would be my choice.

Ahh OK. I will look into that.

One last question. Just curious why physical damage to spells has priority over the cold to spells in your jewel list. Is it just the way the conversion works?

This is one of the easiest and most rewarding builds I've ever played. The synergy is insane. Thanks again.

Hey! This build is amazing, ive gotten to lvl 88 and mid tier maps, and this is simply unstoppable. One thing ive wondered about is, the tooltip says 15k dmg when buffed and full on flaks, I dont have a taste of hate and all jewel sokctes. In my POB the dmg still says around 200k without taste of hate and jewel sockets, is ingame tooltip just lacking the info or am I missing something?

The tooltip doesnt show the correct dps so dont rely on that

We achieve 90% conversion, physical is the base DPS type of the spell.
+Phsyical buffes the base value, that then gets coverted and further scaled by cold%, scaling the base value will always achieve more output.

Never, ever, listen or rely on tooltip DPS. It can't calculate any multipliers YOU apply to the enemy that buffs your damage. It's pretty worthless.

I've had many builds where solid upgrades lower my tooltip DPS.

Was able to craft a good pseudo 6-link helm where i could get a +1 to blade vortex and conc effect support. I checked PoB and blade vortex dealt more damage on the helm than on a 6-link chest.
