[3.16] Coldslinger | Vortex | Creeping Frost | League Start | SSF | CI/LL

Tell me, please, how much will the build version that can live normally and close t16 cards cost? Endgame bosses are not interesting !!!
So I might have managed to miss the 3. note where you recommend going the life route and not CI starter in the PoB, which I ofc did so while my damage is more than decent I do struggle with incoming damage. But will this improve when I get to maps etc? I dont mind pushing on knowing there'll be a silver lining at the end!

I did the same thing, and after killing Kitava, I had 69 deaths. But with some investment (like a 5 link Incandescent Heart, CI, Steelskin, etc.) it is quite tanky. The only thing that kills me now is Nightmare with 150+ stacks.

Awesome build (as always) :D

Is Herald of Ash in the tanky CI version the right gem? Seems kinda useless since we deal no fire damage


Herald of Ash is a placeholder reservation for Tempest Shield, so make sure to use Tempest Shield instead! I'll update the POB if the gem is now updated.


Why not take Arcane Sancutary for the spell block chance and use Vitality? Not criticizing, just asking <3


No criticism taken, it's a valid question!

Based on the theorycrafting in POB, using 25% mana reservation for 25% spell block and shock immunity is the most efficient way to get it. Keep in mind though, this is for the tankier version using Crown of the Inward Eye, level 3 enlighten, Thread of Hope, and Determination. These items are not interchangeable with the CI starting build, as you won't have enough mana if you use Rime Gaze. The two builds are pretty different from one another.

Once you get an Incandescent Heart + CI, you will feel extremely tanky. Keep in mind, do not use an Incandescent Heart if you do not have CI, or you will die instantly by every single hit lol.

Hey, is it ok to go LL once I'm able to afford a 5L Shav's and a Prism Guardian? is there any downside?

The only downside is that you will lose a decent amount of tankiness. CI is inherently tanky as it is chaos immune, added on top with Incandescent heart means it takes 25% less elemental hit damage. Overall, it is almost always better to swap to LL when you can afford a Shavronne's / Prism Guardian. I am toying around with a tanky variant of the LL, which has like ~14k armour. I have not tested it, but the damage seems decent enough for all content except insta-phasing bosses (2m sdps), POB: https://pastebin.com/3gTx1QK4

Is there any other checkboxes that I should check? like being lvl X, having 4th ascendancy, presence of chayula, any cluster jewel, etc...

If I swap to LL with only Shavs and Prism Guardian, it can get to a point where i'm so squish that i'll die a lot? in a way that would be better to farm more with CI build and do the swap once i can check these other checkboxes...
Hey guys. I'm thinking about respeccing my OCC into this build since my current build is not performing that great inside scourge (getting a lot of one shots).
How is this build working so far for you guys?
Also, How does it porform against bosses?
