So aspect of the spider and shock when you focus are both suffixes. If you had to pick one, which do you think is better?

First of all, when you craft aspect of the spider on a ring it doesn't stop you from crafting another mod.

Secondly, this entirely depends on your setup. Spider is more survivability and consistent dps. However is also reserves 25% mana.

I understand you can have both, but they both take up a suffix which is already valuable for resists, and possibly helping the dexterity requirements. I was just asking if you HAD to pick one, which people prefer. I understand that in an ideal world you would grab both.

Hey, I just wanted to ask about the attack speed if you have 20% icrs on belt. Should it also be just under 3.75 or can it be a little higher then?

14% is all you need any higher is just higher n.... 3.71-3.75 is the ideal place atleast it was last league

Questions

1) Is there ever a point that increased critical damage overtakes increased critical strikes?

2) Does anyone suggest an MTX for ice nova to make it easier to see whats going on on screen? Or is raw ice nova the best bet?

what happen if i dont have the 80% maximum res? :/

First take off screen shake in options 2nd i use water nova easier on the eye's lol

Ma dude, I've got one more question. Is Hypothermia rlly best in slot? Why not cold pen when you are chilling with vortex anyways. I thought hypothermia is rlly good if you do split damage because it enhances every damage type in your build but when you are pure cold damage cold pen would be better. Or is it cuz of the lightning dmamage from boots and mark of shaper?

Thanks to red elder giving me a 2 ex watcher's eye, I finally got myself a loreweave today. Sold my old fossil-crafted 6l chest for 1 ex too, and upgraded my ring setup to actual rings. Probably try to grind towards 96 after work until Friday, and then bang my head against uber elder this weekend.

The elder ring as self-crafted, as I mostly just needed a crapton of life, lightning resist, and wanted that -7 to mana cost mod. Will probably divine the loreweave more when I am more flush. If I divine the lightning resist on the ring down to 36%, I could balance my resists by redoing crafted mods.

Test it out in PoB. No need to guess. Using my current character, set to shaper/guardian I show 39.4% more from hypothermia, and 36.9% more using cold pen.

Above those are controlled destruction at 40.9%, elemental focus at 49.4%, and concentrated effect at 54.4%. Those all have some downsides though, where hypothermia is all upside. Freezing things is good.
