[3.21] ShakCentral's Cold DoT Elementalist For Everyone
" All I'm suggesting for now is that Wintertide looks really good and could be a central build piece. If it does as well single target as it looks like it might, Vortex and Cold Snap could end up sharing 4 supports in a 6L Cold DoT For Everyone: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2661120 Last edited by ShakCentral#0748 on Jun 18, 2020, 2:12:38 PM

" I was thinking of trying something just like this, but with Wintertide and CS sharing a 6L and putting Vortex in a 3/4L instead. Might keep an eye on this build if it does put the Brand to use, though! |

" Waiting for some other code to run I decided to do the napkin math on Wintertide Brand. I assumed a few things: - Calculated damage over 8 secs - Looked only at base skill damage - Consider Brand 1 at time = 0, Brand 2 at time = 0.25 - Brand 3 added immediately when Brand 1 duration ended and so on for 8 secs (total of 8 brands then) - Vortex recast at exactly 3 secs At 8 secs Damage over time worked out to: Wintertide Brand: 1837.3 dps Vortex : 1702.7 dps My math could be off, obviously, but it looked like the brand may be pretty good. Another consideration, the brand only does DOT damage. So, I think it 100% bypasses elemental reflection right? |

Hi All!
Without running the numbers at all, do you guys think it might be worth to get the Influence notable, since we now have to go 2 points deep into that cluster for the mana reserve node? It gives me around 50-60k Vortex DPS on the LL tree in POB, so on paper it should be well worth the 1 point. Cheers! Last edited by Burnost#1341 on Jun 18, 2020, 3:47:55 PM

Build looks great! Will try it out while starting with Wintertide Brand!

" Reflect is my #1 concern. I don't think it can, but because the debuff attaches to enemies individually I worry a little bit. Cold DoT For Everyone: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2661120

Oh man, I'm excited to see how far Wintertide can go. After playtesting a half dozen builds (because all I knew was ED/C) I'm eager to kick off my first league start with Vortex. T minus 23 hours!

Attaching to individual enemies doesn't change it being a dot debuff, and dots aren't reflected.

Oversight on my part, cooldown for vortex is 1.8 secs, not 3 secs. Using 1.75 to make my numbers a little easier, vortex comes out on top.
Vortex: 2731.6 dps Wintertide: 1877.5 dps Granted ... that still doesn't make Wintertide worthless. The fact Wintertide is affected by cast speed and acts as a multiplier (depending on stages achieved per brand). Remember double check your math kids and never trust napkin math! |
