[3.11] Melting Nova | 16m DPS, 6k life, acro/phase | Deathless Sirus A8

Hi Chesco,

I have a question regarding APS in relation to the Awakened COC (ACOC) gem.
Based on your explanation am I right to say that the character's total CDR has to be either 14% or 52% and no other interim numbers are relevant at all? That also means for the ACOC gem to work we have to get 15% CDR from boots and 20% from belts (max numbers respectively) then we can use ACOC at 17% (around level - 4)? And we need to get 20 APS as well. Please let me know whether this is correct, thanks!

This assumption is correct.

The full CDR breakpoints and relevant APS are:

0-13% Cooldown reduction 6 aps
14%-51% Cooldown reduction 7.5 aps
52%-57% Cooldown reduction 10 aps

Those are always for one spell, so with 2 Cospris or with 2 spells in your chest double the aps numbers.

The reasoning behind 15-51% not mattering is in the server tick rate. You can find good YouTube videos that explain this a bit more in detail if you look for them :)

Also keep in mind that Awakaned CoC CDR only applies to the linked spells and not the spells in your Cospris - so even with the (very expensive) setup you will only be able to cast more spells from your chest, not from your Cospri's.

Guys i need help, forked PoB version says my Ice nova crit chance is 37%(60% with diamond flask), that seems to be the reason my damage is inconsistent and im not sure how to improve it.

Should i stop buying Crit multi jewels and focus on crit chance or is that generally bad idea?

EDIT: 62.8% with power charges(86% with flask)

Do you consider a starkonja's with fire leech implicit a good alternative for getting it on the effigon? I like devoto's more but i've been annoiting and corrupting amulets for days now and i don't want to spend 45 ex on it. Any other ideas to get some leech in this monster?

I've had great fun with this build. My only changes are linking Purifying Flame + WoC in chest with awakened added fire and adding an extra curse + aspect of spider. Currently gonna make a new char and therefore selling my items





PM me in game (@Frankinton) if interested.

Wondering how cooldown recovery speed works on damage, comparing to elemental damage and cold damage on belt, which one is more effective?

Is it possible to use The Eternity Shroud +2 Cospri Shaper, shaper assain's mark on hit in ring etc ..?

ty

Yes coc with 52 CD-R will work with 10 aps and only for main skill on our case wave of conviction. So better use other build for that. Same with eternitu shroud we have avatar of fire so no chaos dmg.

Well, you can scour it to turn it back into white. You can also use Orbs of Annulment to remove a mod at random from the chest piece whilest still keeping it rare. The benefit to that is it allows you to craft better mods sometimes. For example, if I removed that Evasion mod with an Orb of Annulment, I could craft on #% increased life since I'd have an open prefix.

For cost, it was pretty expensive and I got fairly lucky.

I bought about 1500 alts, which is about 2ex. I then spent 2ex on a Conqueror's exalt, about 2.5ex on an Awakener's orb, about 100c on the imprint, and 100c on the base. I'd say I spent roughly 8.5-9ex total. I ended up selling the chestpiece for 15ex though, so it worked out. If I got a bad base or bad rolls, I'd be spending about 3-4ex per try at that point. So to make a profit, I could roll the chest 2 or 3 times to get something good.

I only sold mine because I'm using Inspired Learning and the explosion doesn't proc rare monster mod stealing.
