[3.13] Raikudou's CoC Ice Nova Assassin (3M+ DPS)

Ok, I need a few tips on what should i focus on next in the build cause i have no idea how it works.
I read the stuff about the breakpoints, and i can't seem to understand how am i supposed to reach 7.5, i think i got like 6.7 something if i remember correctly,
and Elusive bumps me up to 8.2 something...
My Cospri's attack speed is low, and i don't know how can i lower the APS even more, what am i missing?

Another thing, is that i have no idea what should i upgrade next, like, i get that i don't have enough Accuracy, but i have no clue on what items should i upgrade? Gloves? Boots? I got lucky and got the Ice Nova enchant on my helm, but the stats on the helmet itself are pretty bad so i don't know what to but next or at all...

Another problem i have is that i'm dying way too much, just getting oneshoted every map, is there anything i can change to make my survivability better?

Here are my current items:

How is your damage? If it's really good, spec out of the elemental nodes in the Templar area and put them in the depth perception cluster, then anoint your amulet with eagle eye. I also think the AoE nodes are not worth it. You can use those to spec into the melding life nodes, especially with a carcass.


You've spec'd a pure glass cannon. IF you want to go the other way, and go heavy tank, check out my build called gcnomad. I run enfeeble, and one cospri's. I've got a helmet that turns 10% of incoming phys to fire. My single target is a little weak, but I do not die much.

I respeced the AOE nodes, i'll see how it goes.
But i dont know about that Depth Perception nodes, can't i get the ACC from gear?

My damage is fine, but not great at all, i could use some more, i can clear T16's but can really kill delirium bosses in time...

I have like 15EX wating to be spent, and have no idea what to spend them on.
focus on your tree and optimize with cluster jewels.

Too many things.

- You can start by optimizing APS. 8.2 aps is almost the worst option possible, you get only 5 triggered skill instead of 7. This is almost 30% DPS loss out of the blue

If you find it difficult to make aps 7.49, try increasing it to at least 10.5, but not more than 11.24 This will give the same 7 triggers.

- The level and quality of gems. A lot of DPS
- Inspiration and Inc crit in chest is this is definitely a bad idea. And in general, you have a very strange set of gems. For example, I highly recommend Hypothermia Support, and preferably 2 copies, 1 in the armor and 1 in the sword. I saw some use even 3, but this is already overkill.
- Oil amulet. If you have a lot of currency, then an Heart of ice. If not, one of these

I tried balancing my APS, i just can't get 7.5, i can only get 8-9 APS i think, and i don't know if i can reach 10.5, my only sources of attack speed are Cospri's (which when i had them on 14% attack speed each, gave me like 8.4 APS) and the tree i guess?

SO you suggest replacing Inspiration with Hypo?
And which gem should i swap for Hypo in my Cospri's?

BTW, the link you sent is broken, and thanks for the tips both you and the previous guy :)
@geshmancer you are using Onslaught support That may be causing you the extra APS issue as it increases your attack speed.

Also, you don't need Inc Area support gem in your chest. You get that from wearing Carcass Jack.

Do not overestimate the ice nova enchant it is good, but not on such a helmet. If you are limited in currency, just exchange it for a


This will give aps and some crit chance to compensate for the replacement inc crit or inspiration.

there are a lot of aps, to configure, as a temporary or permanent option.


I think the life leech is not a very good gem, I would replace it with Hypo.


Remember these are just some recommendations, they may not be perfect and not accurate, just take them into account and use if you like them.

Also, I did not immediately notice, Inc Area support gem super bad. Replase for concentrated

So, if I'm not dual wielding do I need to lower my aps? I'm at 7.2.

If you have at least 14% cool down recovery, you want to shoot for 7.5 or multiples of 7.5 (whether you are single wield or dual wield).

You don't want to come in between at say like 10, that is the worst you can do.

It takes a lot of investment to get to 15aps so most people start trying to get just under 7.5.

7.5 helps us maximize the COC in our chest which is our main source of damage. We are not maximizing the two casts in the weapon with 7.5 but since those are more utility than damage, we don't really need to do that.

If you ever get to the 15 aps level, then it will maximize the casts from the two weapons.


note what I said above is for the 14% cool down break point. The numbers change if you get to 52% cool down recovery.


This answered my question, in case anyone else was wanting to know.
