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

Hey OP, I have a very important question to ask regarding to Cooldown Recovery and Cyclone attack speed.

I know the best breakpoint is 3.71~3.76 aps with -14% CD recovery, however, if I can only reach around 3.6 aps with the new setup, is -12% cd recovery is enough for it to work or does it literally do nothing?
Or 3.6 aps is too high for -12% cd recovery?

I really need some clarification here cuz I think I hit a wall at the moment.

Also, for the new build poster, why did you decide to not get the full life setup by path of the warrior?

Thoughts on this?

1. Can still use Conc effect for damage as we should be es leech capped from tree nodes. Also taking the 2 extra easy AOE nodes near shadow increases damage.
2. We really want Ethereal Feast due to it raising the 10% es leech cap.
3. @Akkø I think we still use the life leech gem as we want all life sources to refresh quickly when we take a big hit.
4. MOM, not sure if it will work, but we have a lot more mana regen. Also have attack damage mana leech which will give something.

Personally I think MoM is not viable for this build.
Especially with new aura at our disposal, it's a waste not using aura.
Discipline + 50% aura already occupies 85% of our total mana.
Essence Wurm is not an option for our build either since we really need the damage boost of Mark of the Shaper.
I don't know if enfeeble still worth using after the nerf though.

Are you talking about the new Zealotry Aura. Do you think we will need the crit chance? Or Hatred which I guess is 3% more damage without the crit chance on it.

(Will be my first time playing this build)
*I do like the idea of getting to 100% crit chance and being completely reflect immune.

Hatred is 18% MORE cold damage, only 3% lower than Wrath. We all know Wrath gives ALOT of damage to lightning spell, so Hatred might be worth a try now.

Zealotry is 15% MORE spell damage and crit rate.
3% lower than Hatred, but has crit rate.
Not sure about how the crit rate scales, but it can help Cyclone hit near 100% crit rate on none full life target it seems, so it may be worth a try too. (On full life and low life we hit 100% already regardless)

Edit: Nvm, Zealotry has no effect on Cyclone. Our Ice Nova crit rate is already high enough, so it seems Hatred is the way to go.

Is this build ok for league starter?

Well, sure, but I think for the most parte we will be exploding things, so I think it will be viable for solo farm/ casual t16 runs, but im still worried about Loreweave nerfs tho. I dont like the idea of this half conversion fo ES, but it seems it will be The go to this league.

I think he mentioned earlier that he was accounting for the new ES leech gem which isn't currently in PoB.
