[3.9] Nickonasty's Modular CoCpri Ice Nova Assassin - Shaper/UElder Viable
" Hi, I was working on a variant of the build that did some SpOoKY pathing to try and pick up VP without Acuity. The tree has enough Dex to run Cospri without any additional gear investment allowing you to run a -9% Cold Res hat, and instead needs about 30 intelligence from another source. It's still in testing phase as I'm trying to get it working with a 6L Perfect Form but here's what I have so far. https://pastebin.com/KCpvzZNW P.S. Uses MoM and Unnatural Instinct so, paying about 2.5ex as opposed to 7ex for Acuity. noot noot

" Hey, glad to know the build is working. Definitely picking up a dex node is an option, frees up the hat slot for a frigid delve craft. noot noot

" Yeah I'd say if you don't have a lot of extra currency to spend it's not a bad chest to multimod noot noot

" Hey thanks for the update, I set up a friend's gear awhile back with Farrul's Fur as well. He had difficulty capping his resistances and trying to fit in Soul Tether so we went with the MoM and Unnatural Instinct route. Unfortunately, with Frenzy Charges, this led to his APS being much too high for single handed like you are right now (10 is too high for 1H CoC). So we decided to go all in on dual wield Cospri's. Here's the PoB and hopefully it will help you setting up for Dual Wield as well. https://pastebin.com/Swxwy30D It's a little bit rough we're trying to push his APS as close to 15 as possible to get maximum triggers but that will probably require a Cospri ASP corruption or something. noot noot

" This is a great summary, Hypothermia isn't too mandatory in chest links and I think swapping between Inc AOE and Conc Effect is fine for the build. That's a good idea to fit in Aspect of the Spider, I'll definitely add the Aspects to aura suggestions. Cinderswallow and Onslaught make the build feel nicer for mapping, due to the move speed but be careful with the 20% increased ASP it gives to your Cyclone. I'm a stickler for optimization so I make sure to keep it as close to 6 or 7.5 as possible (depending on my iCRS). It's not mandatory because the build is really strong to begin with, but following the APS rules brings out the true DMG potential at all times. P.S. An idea you might consider is running QotF (with a 5L if you're on budget). It works quite well for speeding up the build and only requires an aura swap to grace and some flask changes. Check out the PoB for the QotF version I have posted and feel free to adapt it! noot noot Last edited by Ralign on Jun 27, 2019, 6:19:57 PM

" Hi, as it stands, your gear is more or less pretty maxed out for the "budget" version of the guide. If you want some upgrades which are significant you're looking at a significant currency investment. There are a few upgrade routes you can take:
Acuity
PRO: Big boost in survivability from VP CON: 7ex alone, will require some additional purchases to balance your resistances out, also might require you to take Alira
Disc Watcher Eye
PRO: Big boost in survivability from ES on hit CON: 4ex, will require either picking up aura wheel or dropping HoI/LVL20 Precision You can also pull off Disc + Hatred + HoI if you use a reduced reservation helm enchant for Hatred
Dual Wield Cospri
PRO: 20% ish boost to damage, increases the speed of your movement skill CON: No defensive boost, requires you to push your APS to 12 or 15 depending on iCRS
QotF
PRO: Go fast CON: Requires a LVL 20/21 Grace, QotF 5L (30c) or 6L (6ex), and new flasks (30c total), lose some damage if you have to respec your tree or drop an offensive aura
BUDGET VP STILL IN TESTING
PRO: VP without buying 7ex acuity, allows running an offensive glove with % damage against chilled enemies CON: Still in testing, MoM + Unnatural Instinct is about 2.5ex, significant respec (25ish regrets) https://pastebin.com/R8bMHsBH It all comes down to where you want the build to go and what you want to accomplish with it. If you're interested in UElder farming, the build as is will be sufficient but you could invest more into defenses to make the fight smoother. If you're interested in farming Legion content in lower tier maps then run with QotF or Dual Wield. noot noot Last edited by Ralign on Jun 27, 2019, 6:38:51 PM

how do i know when i reach the right attack speed? i have 15cd recover boots and 12 attack speed and it kinda feels the same.
|
|
" It's not the same, if you test and go frame by frame there will be a difference. Just follow the rule: no iCRS = 6 APS or a multiple of 6, 14%+ iCRS = 7.5 APS or a multiple of 7.5. noot noot

" So then I need 15 attack speed? and thanks for the reply |

Nice build!
Gotta ask, I used carcass jack last league and worked pretty fine (tho the whole build was bit different:> ), but could you use carcass jack here or no? Currently using loreweave. |
