I've just rebuilt my character yesterday around pandemonium with the ''damage on chilled enemi 50%'' on gloves, res pen boots and adding zealotry on a second essence worm. You can see what my gear was like before, like 1 page ago in the forum 3rd post, vs now.

I've gain much much more dps on path of building arounf 2Mil shaper dps total (had 1.4 before) and thats before i found a new wand. I'd go with pandemonium if you can build your character like mine (check my profile). I see a big difference in damage all around since i made the switch and the chill/blind is great for mobs.

On another note i made some test and you could also remove the 3 pts needed for arcane capacitor (not that great of a node if you always cast curses anyway) and add another jewel north west node (the one with elem dam +6% before the jewel. Militia jewel if you dont need more life or a watcher eyes with 50+% cold damage while affected by hatred (4-5ex) or 15% cold pen (10ex) on hatred will either way boost your dps by a good margin.

Thanks for your answer!!

I was saving some currency for an “awakened curse on hit”. But I’ll take a look at your tips and try that double “essence worm”.
Have you done some testing on empower support?
I’m using it atm as Wallach suggested, but I’m not sure if your setup would give better results.

NP :)!

Empower support should be used on a +1 All soul mantle (since you would emped all the gem in the chest) and since i found a +2 projectile for a fair price (17-20ex i think) i never bought a +1 all. And i think the diff between +1 all with emp and +2 Proj is less than 5% i'll never try it this league.

For the spending Your Awaken cold dam sup gem at lev 5 will give you +1 to cold gem, that's a big dps boost. couple of weeks ago i just bought lev 5 str8 up arounf 8ex not to wait (they are 3-4ex atm i think), but if you are close to level 5 wait. Then the chest like i said before, +1 all (go empower) will cost 30- 40ex maybe (there is one at 24ex on the market atm) or like mine +2 proj always around 15-20ex. Big dps boost.

Zealot and worm is hard to squeeze cause of resistance cap and life (and the setup is kinda better for SOME activities not all)... im sitting at 3979/1300 atm instead or 4200/1600 before i swapped. but since i dont boss (i do blight map and delve mostly) and i dont go under 250 delve, i dont mind. But even for boss i mean I just tried Uber Elder (first time) and downed him at 30% with 2 portal left before i sold the fight, point is i could have downed him easy with some knowledge of the fight with this setup. Shaper was a joke to kill. Depend on pref and budget i'd say. But if you are sitting on the character wondering what to try next, i'd try it. For mapping and clearing i really love zealot/pandem/chilledglove setup.

Oh and for Awaken curse on hit, i dont use it since i have a MMO mouse and i just cast manually FBomb/PW/FBite paired with cascade, use to playing wow, i dont mind the hassle, my thumb is used to it. I don't think it's optimal btw (the auto apply is prob better in raw number) since i'm not as fast as self cast freezing pusle that auto apply all. But i can keep my FBomb, cascade make them all spread a lot and i dont like to self cast fpulse, im weird.

At this point it's only minmaxing fun cause it's op anyway.

Have Funnn

I had an awakened curse on hit drop for me. Is it worth swapping over to the setup before you have it to 5 and you get the extra curse?

The leveling up is gonna take forever. Trying to get some Syndicate XP gems, or possibly breach runs....

finally had a chimera map drop and was finally able to do shaper for the 1st time :) . I've accomplished more this league than i have since playing on and off since 2012 :x my gear:

Really great build!

I've enjoyed this season a ton with this build - furthest I've ever gotten!

Slowly looking to transition to a new build to finish the league off though - message me if anyone wants some good build pieces, including watcher's eye, chest, weapon, amulet and shield.

I'd buy that jewel. msg me in game tomorrow if you havent sold it. Thx

Sooooo just made this:



It's really good right? My PoB is showing dps as 188k higher than my previous wand:



And I'm not seeing any +1 or +2 skill gem wands that are for sale that give me more dps.

My full build - Frozen everything
Do all content <3 <3
Love this

Just a FYI, the double damage mod you have on your wand isn't calculating on POB, it's on their side. You want to craft the double damage mod on your wand in POB to get the mod working.

Love the clearspeed, but I failed 3x Sirul 8 on the last faze. I totally suck at that fight :( i am so discouraged to even play more at this point.
and i have like 12ex and 2.5k chaos in the bank . .
