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

Today was a great day downed my first ever shaper on this build and he dropped starforge. I tried it again and got another starforge. Bought the amulet which really made a huge difference and tomorrow I'll take this to phase three of the build.

I've gone with a carcas jack armour and I'm getting my plus +3 to all res from an Ahn's Heritage which also gives a nice chunk of life, the carcas jack helps with ES.

I'm using precision aura to make up for 100% hit rate which is working a treat.

how are you all feeling about how this build deals with the legion mechanic? i love this build and how it plays, but to farm out the challenges i'm debating just going back to ED so i can easily finish 24 challenges and then come back to this build later in the league.

I use Domination Mod and can easily clear the whole legions.
You easy can do the challanges with this build, did it too.

Awesome build, probably one of the most funny starts i had so far.

Could you share your PoB? My only real problem rn is speed tbh, damage and life is great.

have you updated the passive tree/paste bin on the front page of this build with your dual cospri setup???

New Sword for Dual wielding :)

how much does it cost to do that? I wish I knew how to craft that, or having someone do it!

Here is yet another version of the build:


PoB-Link: https://pastebin.com/FG9E6wpF

The Skill-Tree is based on CheeQu's explained Dodge-Version. I like the additional mitigation due to dodge.

- Hitchance without Lyco is 100% via Tempered Mind Jewel (in upper Witch tree) and "Depth Perception" Cluster; accuracy on Gloves is luxury (with: evasive Enemies 100% Hitchance, 98% without)
- Helm enchant is a much cheaper Discipline Aura reservation; with this I can use Disipline (with Watchers Eye ES gain on Hit), Curse and HoI. HoI gives me about the same damage boost as Ice Nova enchant and more clear speed.
- I use Assassins-Mark Curse to increase Crit-Chance significantly during mapping (usually 100% in most situations); vs Uber-Elder crit chance is around 85% without diamond-flask up and 98% with; another advantage life gain on kill effect of curse during mapping
- LgoH-Elderring and Endurance Charge on Kill Boots are also luxury and boost survivability even more
- I like Increased Area of Effect Gem in 6-Link Ice Nova Setup (and Conc-Effect for Uber-Elder); I do not like Elemental Focus, since shattering-mechanic is quite helpful in many situations
- Focus Mechanics with chance for double damage and shock nearby enemies to burst bosses down

More ideas:
For more clearspeed one could swap the rare shield with Zeel-shield. If you prefer one Movement-Skill (I run with two) one can use Fortify-Setup for more damage mitigation. I like also the idea to run a lvl 1 Clarity with additional mod Clarity-(Minus-to-Mana-Cost) on Watchers Eye. This will make no-regen-Maps much more enjoyable.

hits can't be evaded useless for this build, this mod work only for attack this weapon, no global.

Why do you use GMP is Cospris, when you already have 2 Frozen trail?
Isn´t the recommended setup Frost bolt and Icenova in cospris?

Also, how is your hit chance without Prescision? I can see you use the acc jewel

I'm farming low level maps, mostly strands so i dont need the extra damage from the other icenova in the offhand cospris.

I can clear full legion in Strands almost everytime, everytime cospris procs theres 9 projeticles per proc so it helps clear white mob packs that i dont want have to fire dash into.

Nothing in my build is the best and it really isnt made for high tier red maps, I just changed it to get the best possible clear speed in Strand

Is it a bit overkill? yeah might be, but i like seeing dozens of frostbolts on the screen :D
