Heya, thanks for the guide. It was very detailed and helped a lot in making my character, I've done it a little different to how you've said but used a lot of the same reasoning's, feel free to give it a look if you like. I intend to drop purity of elements for Discipline once I get a better rolled helm/ring and a watcher's eye... But it works for now.
A couple of questions regarding the passive tree. - Is Snowforged really worth 3 passives, considering you could pick up another jewel socket for that or % life nodes if your not max level. - When moving up towards the flask/power charge wheels you could go via the spell crit wheel rather than the area damage wheel which seems to give more damage. Might this be a better path? Not sure how useful increased area of effect is. - Elemental Focus at the start doesn't really seem worth it, maybe near the end if you've got 2 spare points but otherwise surely these points would be better invested elsewhere? If I could get your take on this 3 comments, it'd be appreciated. Thanks again for the guide. Last edited by fitsu#1977 on Jan 17, 2019, 7:52:17 PM

" Yes Mark & Elder combo is insanely good. If you have the currency follow my build and you will literally 1 shot every guardian in less than 2 seconds. |

" Ok so you have 80 ex budget let's see where I would focus first. #1 - Working with 13% AS cospri, I am assuming you know the APS breakdowns and yours is close to 3.72~ with it so I'll skip this for now. #2 - Try to get cooldown recovery on boots and open up gloves & belt for more damage (check my toon). #3 - Ice nova damage on helm instead of enfeeble .. enfeeble was a cheap alternative at the beginning of this guide because no one wanted it, for the amount you pay for it now Ice nova damage is much superior. #4 - Drop 30-40ex on a +2 Loreweave #5 - get triple multi gems After this, I have been brainstorming with the top geared coc players here and some think that it is better to go arcane potency & grab that close jewel while I prefer to reach down to right-side of Scion and utilize Unnatural. |

" you should be more concerned with the coc triggers. if you don't have 14% cooldown recovery then you want your aps to be 3 or lower. with the 14% cooldown recovery your aps can go up to 3.75 |

In the "god tier" part of the guide, are the atziri's acuity preferred over a good pair of gloves? I need opinions please

" i can't explain it any better than cheequ does in his guide. you should reread the section i posted. it seems clear enough to me. |

Now that I am closing on level 100, I think this build requires Acro to stay relevant vs other builds. I am going to test running vitality + watcher & acro instead of discipline for the next few days. This is because I feel like nothing in the game "slowly" kills us. We either kill the boss or phase him/her in 2-3 seconds or we get randomly one shot (this is where acrobatics makes the biggest difference).

So i followed the guide for t3 and t2 and i think im probably somewhere in the middle of the tiers.
What all can i do to increase my survivbility and start pushing bosses. Dont get me wrong, i can boss to t14 incredibly easy but between my gear and tree and everything t16 bosses and above dont seem doable currently. i have a couple exalts to possibly work with and keep pushing to earn more. Also Ive read in the comments hear people pushing 17mil dps and all of that, is there somewhere in the huge list of pages i can find more updated PoB and everything to see where the build has evolved too from the original guide?? |

" https://pastebin.com/kmMTV4Rw Tooltip Ice Nova: 478,345 Config Settings Power Charges One Nearby Enemy No Shock (add this in form of Nearby enemies -20% on cospri + [-15 for bonechill] ) Blinded Chilled Shaper/Guardian No RF or Vaal RF equipped (which would honestly add 180k dmg to tooltip) That is around double OP's tooltip damage (which was translated into 7 mil). We are talking 15 to 17 mil shaper dps. You can take this damage further by getting a -ele helm (find dex somewhere else) and -ele pen OR light dmg on boots. I have seen frenzy charge cospri variants adding another 30k~ ish damage but generating those are a little problematic as by the time you generate them the boss is dead. In addition, you can grab arcane potency for extra multi's but I rather went with unnatural route to grab the movement speed. These 2 should give another 70k-100k dmg but I am too lazy to shift dex around even tho the upgrades would be 5ex ~ ball park. The "god" tier items just make you more tanky as it assumes we have enough damage so you can't reach this damage going that route for sure. Last edited by Seqqsy#2291 on Jan 17, 2019, 10:36:25 PM
