Ive never played coc builds and currently i have around 8ex, does anyone know what i could improve? Also how do i reach 15aps? Im only at around 12 with frenzy charges

Swap out your helmet slot "whirling blades" or "leap slam" with Blood Rage, Then you'll hit 15APS. if you can sustain the degen

or even take out RF from the helmet

Hey guys, I could use some advice on where to go from here to increase my dps.
I think I'm not 100% sure how to increase the dps of my ice novas, I thought I was upgrading some gears to improve the damage but my PoB average hit for Ice nova dropped with 40k somehow. Clear speed in t16 is awesome but my boss damage is not bad but I'd love it to be higher :P

I figured out what my problem was with the dps suddenly being lower.
I changed out the gems trying out the CWDT Steelskin so I dropped Vaal RF to be able to fit in my portal gem and I don't really use Vaal RF anyway so figured portal gem would be more useful, didn't realise that Vaal RF was automatically in the PoB calculations when it was imported in the links hence the damage loss. ^^ It was just showing me something I didn't really have before as I never used Vaal RF :D

But anyway, I'd still be grateful for ways to improve my damage. Just bought 21/20 ice nova and frostbolt so that's a small upgrade :)

I just realized that Awakened COC and Cospri don't share a cooldown even for same skills. We could place another Ice Nova/Frostbolt on our COC link (like replacing fortify for example) and another on a Cospri and both would proc when we crit. That doesn't happen if we have two of the same gem on two Cospri: they'll share cooldown. This is a HUGE dps boost and I suggest you guys try it if you don't mind losing the fortify buff or just place it on your movement skill. Keep in mind that it needs to be an AWAKENED CAST ON CRIT GEM and not the regular one.

Don't you need to hit the CDR breakpoint before the ACOC gem works?

Or what else does ACOC provide that COC doesn't?

There is no difference, you can use same gem as in your cospri's with regulard CoC too, Ice version been doing this for years.

Anyone mind taking a look at my gear/pob and tell me where I should head next for upgrades, could use leech on amulet and not helm so I could swap some speed around for devoto's but other than that I'm at a loss on where to go next.

I've done Sirus 8 Deathless but UE kills me pretty easy if I'm not careful. Kinda just need help on the top end I guess. Ty in advance. <3

Glorious Vanity Jewel is pretty nice to have, but it cost a lot of divines to find a good roll.
Theres a change of amulet to Xhop's blood as well and so on.
Could try diff rings like Circle of Anguish.

I've swapped from this build a while ago, pretty much reached my limit rn.
Just like a new helm/ring I'd wanna try craft rn and gem lvls but I'm pretty happy with what I've achieved.

Awakened COC only applies CRS to supported spells, so it will only make a real difference for us if we get to 52% CRS (meaning at least a 29% total on boots and belt). Even with default COC you can place another spell gem on the setup and it'll proc just fine with our current APS cap (although I definitely don't recommend dropping Fortify).

I've updated the Gems>Awakened section with more info about Awakened COC. In short: for us, it's not worth it.

Thats not what he was asking. He wanted to know where to look in game on the character sheet to see his aps.

I pretty much had the same exact question about the differences between pob and in game tooltip. When I would click on Cyclone in game on the character page, attack, hit something, pop flasks my aps is 14.8x. Now if i check my pob it only says 13.76. Im pretty sure I have configured everything id pob just like the OP did to check aps.


Edit: Nevermind. I am dumb. The problem was that I was not accounting for the Elusive Attak Speed buff. Added it to my Frozen Trail jewel in pob and bam. Perfect. This is probably the same issue for this other guy too.
