[3.5] CheeQu's CoC Ice Nova Assassin - Up to 7m Shaper DPS + Amazing Clearspeed [In-Depth Guide]

I mean outside of PoB too. Just on my construction master calculator, if I divide 1/.33 attack time I get 3.0303. Now, whether or not that's accurate is the question knowing how misleading tooltips can be.[/quote]

Yes, thats correct, that's how you do it.[/quote]

Ok thx. So, 1/3.75~ 0.27 attack time is optimal for 14% CDR.

someone? :/

The damage is really obscene, I love it... very fun, am at 3.7 attacks exactly and enjoy the fast clearing.

But I am really struggling with survival, especially against some Syndicate encounters (sometimes just onehit) and certain bosses... like Chimera :( When he goes invisible, I cannot even take 3 hits, to survive long enough to discover in which cloud he is hiding. I feel like I am not doding / evading anything, and the 5400hp pool is not enough.

And I kinda have the feeling that the leech in weapon is not enough to compensate some of the incoming damage... or maybe I am just playing it wrong. It is a struggle to balance resistances and life with so many mandatory items :D

Yes a way of looking at it = 0.268 ~ is about as close so go for 0.27

Thank you, OP. Great build and really fun.
Quick question:6L tabula with fortify or loreweave 5L without fortify?

Managed to get this belt which saves me from using an onslaught flask. What should I get instead of that, a Wise Oak?

Hello Cheequ and hello guys!

After clearing almost the content of the game with this build, I want to make a small review.

First my gear:



For the mapping, the clearspeed is great and the build is pretty safe.
For the bossing, I easily killed Red Elder, Shaper's Guardians, the Shaper (almost deathless because I just died at the last second beacause I was too greddy...) and the Uber Elder Guardians. I don't try the Uber Elder, i'm not ready. I only have difficulties with the Minautor who was a pain in the ass. And I have still difficulties to make clear cyclone, I need more practice.

Finally, this build is very great, I love it!

Hey guys, great build so far!

I seem to have trouble with uber bosses trucking me though and certain members of syndicate on T16. Could anyone make a suggestion for my gear so I can farm some EXP in high level maps without worry?

Should I sell the gloves (got lucky with them last night) and focus on getting more life on gear?

My gear:

Is it intended that you removed the Doom Cast Passives in the Level 91 Skilltree?

Update/Progression: Completed Uber Elder with ease first time with this build. Thanks to @CheeQu and the community for theory-crafting and min-maxing the build. The high DPS nature of this build made the Uber Elder fight extremely easy.

There were comments by other users earlier in the thread to switch to Blade Flurry rather than use Cyclone for Uber Elder. I can attest that Cyclone with Uber Elder is easily doable. Furthermore, I personally switched out Cyclone with a 20/20 Blade Flurry from another build and the play-style was definitely not as smooth as APS is low. I believe you would need to include Faster Attacks Support into the 6L to make Blade Flurry feel smooth.

For anyone thinking of running this build, or others who are working towards better gear, I made a quick video of a few Shaper Guardian runs. The video showcases the high DPS this build can pump out against Hydra & Minotaur. To save everyone's time most of the video only shows the Guardians melting, all full runs under 2 minutes.

Thanks again @CheeQu for the well-written guide
