[3.9] Nickonasty's Modular CoCpri Ice Nova Assassin - Shaper/UElder Viable

This is my character right now. You think its better to change to OP's setup?

Mimaxed to fit Vaal RF into the Build. 6 Auras, 11,98 APS. 270k Nova hit when im fully done. Missing boot enchant, arcane surge watchers and the syndicate flask.
my variant is quite defensive with smashing strike@amu and aspect of the cats. i can survive a shaper slam.

Nice vanity bonus
59% increased Cold Damage
Damage Penetrates 3% Cold Resistance
40% to Lightning Resistance
5% Movement Speed
15% Life and 1% Lifereg
and more

Can someone enlighten me how to calculate my DPS with my dual setup?

I'm tired of league 1 month ago, didn't complied build, so I wanted to share my view on the COC build.
The output is much stronger build then in OP post. The only thing left to deal with 15~ missing resists.(But flask sustain is good, so you getting max res from wise oak. Plus we have 2 free slots for Jewels)

Build based around quadra-aura, 100% crit chance,with double cospris. Huge damage and 7.2k ehp with best items. (The one listed below is 6.2k ehp)

Core budget items with double cospri's:

Hi guyz and gurlz,

I love coc ice nova since zwo leagues ago and am currently leveling another one of this beauties again. So far I always used 1 Cospri's + Lyco but this time I want to try 2 Cospri's (eventhough I kinda wanna bite my ass for not buying them a week ago :'((((( ). Now I read this guide and liked it for the soul thether + glorious vanity interaction and the fact that I can use a atziri's acruity should I get rich enough to obtain one. I looked through a couple of other guides like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/doplts/path_of_exile_38_cast_on_critical_strike_assassin/
and am wondering which one comes out on top in terms of damamge and survivability? is the leech mechanic from this guide stronger in survivabilty with less damage or how much of a differrence does is make? I know I am free to build my char however I see fit but that is not the answer I am looking for as I do not have the currency and time to try it out myself :/

Looking forward to some feedback!

PS also treewise I am confused what is better?!

Cheers

Hey could someone explain why he has 2 ice nova? The one on the chest and one on the weapon, is it to activate the vaal version or is it for actually to have 2 and one is for damage, the one on the chest and one is for doing elemental ailments, because with the ice nova on the chest, he got elemental focus on it.

Cospri's Malice triggers socketed gems on crit
6L Ice Nova is also triggered on crit from Cyclone
They trigger independently.

Hello, fellow exiles! I'm playing this build right now and enjoying very much.

I have a small issue with a "Players have elemental equilibrium" mod - it drastically reduces damage, since we deal only cold damage.

I think I found a solution, but I'm not sure and I need a confirmation that I'm right or not - if I add a prefix "adds xx to xx fire/lightning damage to attacks", theoretically, Cyclone will apply fire or lightning resistance due to EE map mod, and will reduce cold resistance. Am I right? Thank you in advance!

I maybe blind or dumb or something. But I just can't find the damn Skill tree.

Having a blast with this! Like the guy before me I can see no skill tree here, but I have just been copying the profiles of the people posting here.

Thank you for the amazing guide. Could anyone help me figure out why my crit chance is only 22%, thanks!
