[3.24] Frostbolt/Ice Nova Hierophant | 100m DPS | All Content
" i think i need the anti-freeze mod more than anti-fire mod. i definitely would if i crafted "cannot be frozen" on my boots but i really wanted the elusive mod. i think i just need to swap the minor pantheon god when i have to deal with serious fire damage |

This is the third character I've ever built in PoE, the first I've taken past level 85, and I'm loving it. I'm at level 94 right now and feeling like I'm going to do OK with the end-game content.
However, I'm still pretty new to the game and would love any feedback on what I should be focused on to improve the character from here. I've got a very budget build, currently sitting at 345K PoB DPS and about 10.5K EHP, wondering what I should be spending my time and currency on to improve that. For context I'm in a private guild league with about a dozen other players, so even if I had more than a couple ex to spend, trading is pretty limited. No Skyforths, no Farrul's Fur, no Perfect Form, etc. I was fortunate to have some help gathering div cards for Pledge, and then even more fortunate to six-link it with just a few hundred fusings. On top of that, this league imposes a -20% to all resists, so my crafting choices are more limited. Any feedback would be very welcome! PoB:

" since you aren't creating power charges with skyforth/farruls you might want to link power charge on crit with frostbolt. and i would swap a life flask out for a diamond flask. a level 21 ice nova adds a lot of damage. so i would level 6 ice novas in your other weapon slot to vaal.

I think the budget PoB its outdated for 3.9, am i right?
|
|
" Just FYI, this mechanic was nerfed quite a while ago. It now has a 200ms cooldown, shared across all flasks, which means that you effectively get 5 charges per second (across all your flasks, 1 charge for each). So it doesn't exactly enable you to spam your flasks and is definitely not worth the slot on a Watcher's Eye. Last edited by obliviousBC#4649 on Jan 28, 2020, 2:45:50 AM

" Having played this build both with and without the precision crit mod, I can tell you that it feels REALLY nice, especially in a league focused on single target bosses without adds. |
|
" i didn't know about the nerf but i'm definitely enjoying the mod. i'm pretty sure it helped me get my first deathless sirus kill. i've seen watcher's eyes with the clarity and precision mods listed for 10ex and more but i was able to snipe one for 5ex. i guess it's probably not worth more than that with the nerf. |
|
" I had the mod on my first MoM jewel as well and I honestly couldn't tell the difference after switching to another one. At 1 charge/second you're looking at 20 seconds of DPSing the boss before you get one flask use out of it. Almost no boss should live that long, even with mediocre gear. Among the ones that do, Sirus is pretty much the only one without any adds. The flask mod may be an okay-ish budget option for that fight (as long as you can't phase him quickly), but for an endgame build? Meh. |
|
" i haven't seen the clarity/precision flask combo listed for less than 5ex. so i wouldn't call it a budget option. meanwhile my clarity/zealotry cast speed WE has been listed for 3ex for a few days with no takers. |
|
" Well, I definitely got mine for way less than that a few weeks back, since I was basically only looking for a cheap one with the MoM mod already rolled at 10%. Watcher's Eye prices in general have been quite weird and fluctuating this league, presumably because there are so few with specific combinations up for sale at the same time. Idk, that plus the mod looking better than it actually is as a secondary mod probably accounts for the general price trend? But yeah, if you look at the prices for Clarity/MoM + Zealotry/X mods (which are almost as good as the expensive Precision/Crit Multiplier one in terms of DPS), the flask mod is definitely not a good "budget option" ...
