what would be a good rare alternative sword for cospri?
w/ trigger socketed spell on skill mod? any samples

Hey mate! Use this trade filter for good alternatives for period of time while you are farming for Cospris:

Also I assume without Cospris you run cold setup with Frostbolt and Ice nove in the chest, and convert to fire node is not allocated.

Could anyone suggest a version with Chaos Inoculation? I'm tired of dying to chaos damage = ///.

Currently can only afford 1x Cospri's. Build is still pretty sick. What gems should be linked? What should I do for my offhand until Cospri's number 2?

Thanks!

if you want to go full ham:
- drop avatar of fire, get a xophs blood, you will end up with more damage and life
- drop both rings for anguishes (one with -2 mana, bonus points for fire leech)
- drop blood and sand for zealotry with lvl 4 enlighten
- compensate 100% hit chance with tempered mind and the 3 accuracy nodes near dodge keystones
- as movement skill get flame dash paired with COH and flamability +surge

just check my profile (kohlebagger) its public

Xoph's Blood is a nice option for the build along with Tempered Mind to fill accuracy. You also brought together some of the best DPS options for the build both on gems (Concentrated Effect, Flammability, Zealotry) and equipments (Xoph's Blood, Circle of Anguish). However, I wouldn't recommend dropping Fortify, as you did in your POB. I mean, you're trading survivability for damage, but our damage is already pretty high; we could use some survivability, however.

The life increase itself isn't worth if you don't keep Fortify. With 5k life, having Fortify (20% less damage taken from hits) can take the same amount of damage as a 6250 life without Fortify. It's a huge boost to survivability, and it should always be on the build. You could also replace your Immortal Call for a Steelskin 20, kind of extending your health when it's needed.

Other than that, I'd just like to use your version to point everyone how many possibilities we have for changes in this build. I've tried to increase our survivability, but there are some pretty good choices that could extend our damage to the heights.

While you have only one Cospri, don't get Avatar of Fire.

Make a setup with Frostbolt + Ice Nova + XXXXX. If you don't have fire leech on your build, then place Life Leech on this setup. If you do, you can place another damage support gem such as Hypothermia or Cold Penetration.

On your 6link, have a setup with Cyclone - Faster Attacks - Increased Critical Strike Chance - Fortify - Cast on Critical Strike - Ice Nova.

When you get your second Cospri, pick Avatar of Fire and use the recommended gem setup for weapons and chest. :)

Could anyone suggest my next upgrades? I have ~25ex to spend. Also, I am unsure as to if I should be getting more APS or less from here.

A few items were placeholders originally to fulfill stat and resistance requirements but I am weighing options which items to upgrade in what order before I buy replacements to fulfill requirements again.

This is entirely optional and doesn't affect the amount of life at all.

I consider that. Thanks for the great build!

Build looks fun, wanna transition from my current build to it(gonna do a full reset). But i'm having trouble with what exactly should i buy for this build. I have 50(maybe 60) ex to spare, anyone have suggestions?

This is a pretty good CI version that I was about to convert into from this build but someone suggested the Xoph's blood alternative and I'm testing it out for the time being while crafting gears for it.

Be aware though that it's a pretty expensive build so follow at your own risk.
I've only made 3 piece for it so far and 2 insanely bad double influenced rings (RNG failed me)
