Can someone explain to me what the point of vortex is. Seems 4L is pretty expensive for the minimal damage it does, kind of stumped here.

Vortex applies a decent Chill-effect, and Bonechill makes it so enemies chilled by supported skill takes increased cold damage based on the effect (strength) of the Chill-effect. Unbound Ailments further increases the Chill effect, and lastly Arcane Surge is just there to have the nice buff.

So the Vortex itself does almost an insignificant amount of damage, but it increases the cold damage the enemy takes by a large amount.

@all the new players wanting to try coc ice nova: just don´t. The life version is super clunky and for a good reason most players farm money otherwise to instantly go LL. Which is - not gonna lie - currently around a 40-50 (like the guide says too) investment. If you dont have this amount of money, dont even consider this overhyped meta build and look for an alternative. I wish I hadn´t put in the time + money (the uniques already 30% less worth) to try this build. And compared to other builds, it is not even that fast since you basically spin with negative speed on full cyclone charges.

Good build though, but definately not for beginners not until you can buy the mandaory items (which are basically all) all together. thx.

this + it applies frostbite for even more damage if have it with hextouch support! You just hold the key 24/7 when playing since its instant skill and won't have to stop :) When you have enough DPS it can clear white mobs alone on maps :p

edit: If you use vortex + (awk) hextouch + bonechill + frostbite and have dash + arcane surge + second wind setup. I would advice kami that you add this combo to guide and update skill gem section! I mean CWDT frostbomb in 2021? I don't think that :D

New player (first league) following this build, so hopefully my question doesn't trigger everyone... Where does all the dex come from? You need 212 for Cospri's Malice, and I just bought one, but I have 108 dex, far too low to equip it.
Edit: I'm following the passive tree, and have 97 allocated already.

Sorry if this was asked before, but i wanted to know, if the "Trigger Rate" for Ice Nova is reliable, which is given by PoB. I have an attack rate of 7.62 on Cyclone and 16% Cooldown Recovery, which theoretically destroys the first breakpoint, since i have more attack rate on cyclone than i am allowed to have but the PoB Fork still tells me i have a trigger rate of 7.45 for Ice Nova. Shouldn't the trigger rate fall down to like 5-6 because i exceeded the allowed Attack Rate?
(Here my PoB if needed https://pastebin.com/1HxXD1J3)
