great build.

reached 100 almost a couple weeks ago, to let you know

1. Damage is there but u wont one-shot bosses obviously.
2. You are squishy, it does not matter how tankier u build it but its a totem build so the gameplay helps
3. Get culling strike, helps tons with bosses
4. Easier to stack dps if you go with the shield version i must say, also was alot cheaper at the beginning
5. Good wants with +1 or +1+1 are way to expensive, just get a basic one with lots of castspeed and rolls such as spell dmg, multi crit, flat cold for spells, etc

Regards,

Hey chetemax, thanks for the tips just respec my build to shield version, I was wondering, how are you applying elemental weakness and Sniper Mark?

When testing my Arcanist Brand was only applying Sniper Mark.
I got Whisper of Doom anoint.

I use the ele weakness/sniper mark with the arcanist brand, they are linked with the awakened hextouch for the +1. My profile if open so u can check it out. (take it as reference because im still testing some things up)

Tbh i only use it on bosses, conquerors, etc, trash just drop instanly

Can you explain how secondary wands work,shoul i buy some trash wands and put support gems up there. Do they raise levels of all sup gems?

You just equip any weapon in the secondary slot (doesn't need to be two wands, you just need the right socket colors), the gems will still gain exp even if you're not using them.

Any recommendations for leveling with this build this league?

Yeah, follow the leveling guide with holy flame totem, it breezes through the content! I did it and it was super smooth. I swapped to 5L Soul Mantle at act 7, and got two kikazaru rings. Holy flame can go all the way to end of acts though.

Just set trade filter to >2 implicits and maybe make one of them life/mana depending on what you want. I picked up a cheap life/cold damage a few days ago and just scoured/crafted to get what I needed on the item.

And I only use hydrosphere for bossing tbh. While mapping the totems nearly instaclear everything so I don't see the point of cursing.

Hey all

First, thanks for that help that all the people give all the time!
I play since Breach league, and i could improve every league (i've played).
This league is the first one i've only played 1 build, this here.
Great build and guide, great overall dmg, great bossing and mapping. The only downside i would say is the defense, but you have to dodge manually then :-).

I don't think i will get to 100, i die too often (94 atm).

For the first time in my play time, i was able to kill (all several times now) A9 sirius deathless, A9 Maven (and all except the feared), Oshabi, Elder, Shaper, Uber-Elder, Uber Atziri, i even made a "battle of the 5 armies" :-).

Now, i'm wondering if someone could help me with my gear. I don't know if i can take down "the feared", as fas as i know it's just a DPS race. My current HO dps with hatred on is 210k.

My gear:

I know that i could switch to double/triple curse, but this would be a huge change, and i do not know if it's worth.
I have no problems with Trials, i just want to increase my overall DPS.
Maybe i missed some cheap upgrades, because the double corrupted chest as example is about 20-25EX...

Thanks in advance, and have a great week guys!

You can try a glove with "%% Increased damage with hits against chilled enemies"
and boots with "increased effect of non-damaging ailments"
largue cluster with "blanketed snow and vengeful commander, i think doryani's lesson (but just to help to get nodes)
and a watchers eye with two hatred mods

I fixed my build,but decided to switch to ice spear to gor bosses. Pob DPS was increased drastically. And guys whats the best wand for can i get for 4-5 exalts. I was saving for magic ring but i guess wand is more important. Should i go for projectile speed increase or crits. Good wands are crazy expensive.

I think you want projectile speed from two places. The three most common are Streamlined on a cluster jewel, the hat enchant, and a wand mod. There are other places you can get it too - e.g. projectile speed on gloves, or on a DPS jewel.

You can check for the best value wands with POB item tester.

Roll your own magic ring most the time. Normally it doesn't matter much if you have T1 or T2 life alongside T1/T2 resist/whatever. It's only when you must have T1/T1 that it becomes hard to do.

You need quality on freezepulse, and should quality your other DPS gems after.

You may as well quality your belt too

Gloves with damage with the mod "damage against chilled" - this will let you get 35% movespeed boots too, as the mod comes with T1 cold resist.

It would probably help if you had your character set to public, because there might be easy things to change with your tree or jewels too, e.g. Watcher's Eye.

210k should be fine for the feared, if you do it white. I did all the invitations around that damage point. I don't know what the minimum is you'll need for Deadly Encounters, but it's probably not that different from running them white.

Gear upgrades - corrupt your DPS gems. A 6 awakened gem is forever, while a 4 is just for a day or two.

Can you not master craft on your main wand? I've not checked which mods are available, but worst case, you can add something like mana.

Do you need flash freeze now? If you're critting whenever you need to, the boost from it isn't as useful and it's fine to switch to another curse or e.g. Doom Cast.
