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

First of all, Thank you for the guide. I have so much fun with it. Finally I have every gear ready. but I only have around 210k dps for ice nove in POB. I dont know if thats normal for my gear or bit low.

Hey I crafted these gloves:



1 open prefix, 1 open suffix.

Prefix Options:
12% phys reduction during focus
24 life (hybrid)
26% damage during flask effect

Suffix Options:
15% Global crit chance + 21% elemental damage

For prefix, I'm leaning towards the flask damage just to get gloves with an insane 135%+ damage, but the extra 24 life could be nice.

I also ran some spreadsheets comparing Gifts From Above vs Mark of the Shaper, and the damage that you see gets fairly negated by lesser crit chance unless you have capped crit with abyss jewels. The extra life is nice, but at the cost of a crazy expensive Elder Ring and then you are losing 5% block.

Cant find the information in which slot i should put Frozen Trail Jewel.

First off, you have some absolutely insane gear, a quick glance puts it at over 70 or 80ex easily. Probably some of the best gear I've seen in this thread.

Secondly, accounting for increased damage from Vortex, Conc Effect, some extra levels and Opportunistic your damage is around the 300K mark, which is above average here.

I'd say focus on life nodes and maybe an extra power charge for the remaining levels to help your Cyclone crit chance.

What sword to use while I dont have 3 exalted for Corpis ?

Try Cospri's Malice, it's 3 exalts divided by 2.

Hohenheim, if you want to nail the last big DPS nail in the coffin go for a +2 AOE Gems Loreweave.

Hey, loving the build. I'm doing a bit different take on it using a Warlord's ring, but mainly just because I'm trying to push this character to 100 for the first time. I'm running with Unnatural Instinct and 2x Might of the Meek.

At this point, I am kind of at a loss on what to upgrade. Anyone have some input? Thanks in advance!

I got some currency. Decided to run The godmode gear because I love the build, damage seems to suffer extremely from stage2.

Anyone have time to go over my char, if there's something I missed

I feel as if i dont visually see my triggered frost bolts casting ice nova as theyre zooming across my screen. Any reason why that may be? (Yes gem order is correct)

@Phizeek

First thing I would do is to drop Blood Rage, the frenzy charges it generates ruins you CoC proc rate by going above the Cyclone 3,75 Attack Rate.


Also, you are super overcapped on reisstances, you can change some of that with damage mods some way or another.

Last thing I would do is to take the 2 remaining jewel nodes instead of the Throatseeker nodes, 2 good jewels will give you same damage and life as well.

Have a look at this tree:
