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

I'm not sure why, but my Attacks per second in the hideout is only 2.1.

I have 15% CDR on belt and Cospri is 14% AS. No use of silver flask. Have not ascended yet in the labyrinth.

How do I get 3 APS and above at baseline? Am I missing something here?

Make sure you check your APS on cyclone and not the basic ability, also do your labyrinths it seems to me that you havent done any of them. Also switch out that jewel for a frozen trail jewel for a massive dps boost.

Ah crap I was brain dead today, that was it. 3.2 at baseline is fine right?

About to delete my post when you replied, thanks for the heads up!

@Hayrich

3.2 baseline and 3.7 with onslaught active is the perfect setup, and that you should get by having a 14% cospri and a starkonja :)

Also running cold pen in the weapon is a risky move, but as long as you dont die to the content you are running I guess its all good :)

Current gear:

Decided to try this build out and make it defensive as possible. I need to buy some chromes to color my sockets again so i can link my auras with enlighten in my gloves and start using dread banner. It is still low level and WIP, but hard rolled guardians and Shaper died effortlessly. Big thanks for the build! Can definitely recommend to test pushing the defenses because the damage is still more than enough.

Edit: Forgot to mention that another thing I'm planning is to get rest of my resistances from gloves and swat other ring for mark of the shaper, but so far haven't needed any extra damage.

aight after lots of tinkering, i feel okay to post my take on this, pastebin: https://pastebin.com/JVq7p8VQ of lvl 93. (i'm pretty bad with pob I just imported my build, didn't check anything, feel free to play around <3)

differences from original build:

(Phase) Acrobatics

Intuitive Leap above Blood Drinker for Power Charge, Mana Leech, AllRes/IncLife

Annihilation instead of Blast Radius

Throatseeker, Doom Cast kept on Phase Acro tree.

No starkonja, Rare with life,inc life and -cold ressist to nearby enemies

No Gifts from above/No ElderRing + Shaper's Mark, Opal Ring + Shaped ring for LGoSpellHit which feels pretty much mediocre without vitality watcher's eye, prolly better off with another prismatic cos my mana reserved is through the roof (herald, enfeeble-blasph, cat, enlighten four link).

Cooldown reduction + Cat on boots with crafted 19-23movespeed, gives u 3x increased damage crafts on rings and belt.

6 Power Charges

More abyss Jewels with flat life rather than simple ones with inc.

Things left to change:

EDIT: Replace Controlled Destruction in Cospri's with Life Leech. That felt bad after removing Warlord's Mark.

Loreweave sockets (is 5s-5l atm. You can put it in bench, click 2 sockets, then get the 5 link prophecy and 5link it with 1 jeweller) cyclone, coc, nova, inc. crits, inc. aoe. Should become Cyclone, Coc, Nova, Inc. Crit, Hypothermia Or Life Gain on Hit (depending on how I do tonight vs Uber Elder), Fortify.

Probably farm an Unnatural Instinct (fuckin hell this shit's price is bonkers), and then play around with it and x1/2 mights of the meek. 80 multi just too good to pass up

Things I'd like to try out: Re-equip starkonjas, play with LGoH, Maximize attack speed by using 23% Bloodrage + Enhance+Haste (which is one of my favourite tricks in this game tbh, sooooooo much atspd for free), some IAS jewels and see how it goes... But the holiday period is over and I'm soooo short on time


PS. Alchemist's Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline + (minimum 25%) Chemist's Silver Flask (Of Warding) + Alchemist wheel is one of the biggest clear speed improvements I've seen on any of the builds I've played

CheeQu- great call on the Discipline with ES-on-hit Watchers. Definitely prefer it to Vitality for the added ES base (the native regen from vitality was always kinda pointless).

I tried it, which prompted me to drop acrobatics (because of the 30% ES penalty), and respecced to the scion life wheel as a result.

I went from ~200 ES and 5.85k HP to now 980 ES and 6.65kHP - that's 26% MORE eHP, without any appreciable loss of offensive firepower. Sure, I've lost the dodge chance, but I'll take the much more reliable 26% boost in eHP.

Thanks again!
P.

NB I still have unreserved mana which is easily enough to spam cyclone given I have mana leech from tree and -9 cost is skills on ring.

Bro!
1st choosed demi tinkerer as league starter, sucked as hell, then arc trapper normal- i was squishy less but still.

Now finally i choosed this one (2 leagues ago ive played cyclone and loved that pure, simple build). And thats why i play this, after 2 days of change im trully happy- i can do t15, didnt tried yet t16. But seems achievable.

Got 2 questions- i have lack of mana for example vs elder, followed Your tree, i use cyclone properly- those 2 nods-> mana + deep thoughts will help me?

Second major thing- i dont really understood about cospri and dps. Now mine dps in ho with cyclone is 3.4, with those items:




Am i doing this stuff allright? -got cospri 14% attack speed, without cooldown recovery on belt, but i cant change him cuz it gives me huge boost to res + HP (6K atm yikes!).


good day and thanks for that guide, it made my week, trully

Seeing several posts about attack speed. I just checked my PoB and it says my Cyclone is at 3.01 aps. I have 9% attach speed on my Cospri's and no cooldown on my belt or boots. As far as I can tell, I am doing just fine on the aps and not losing any hits/damage (aside from going higher aps with the cooldown that I dont have [yet, hopefully]). Does that seem right? 3.2 aps would be the best for me at this point, right?

I am loving this build so far. Pretty much a one button setup, which is good for me, as I suck at using and keeping flasks up all the time. Still need to get that Wise Oak though, and I already have all my resists at the same level.

you're losing DPS, if you don't have cooldown reduction you need 3.0 aps. You can also get cooldown reduction on boots. you can divine your cospri's for lower attack speed value, or better yet sell it expensive cos it's got pretty ok rolls and buy a cheap one with like 8 atspd


on your tree, remove the 2 stat points next to deep wisdom btw
