[3.16] Coldslinger | Vortex | Creeping Frost | League Start | SSF | CI/LL
|
Tried it. No mana issues anymore, but dps is pathetic relative to my prior build. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. :\

" Sure its not due to lowlvl of creeping frost? |

" Not sure how to help, what exactly are you having issues with? You should be able to rinse Piety using the early-on lightning spellslinger setups. " " EE is triggered by orb of storms and storm brand. If the monster has been hit by fire/cold lately, the lightning damage will overwrite it. is only relevant for bossing. Even in maps, if you have the mobs resistant to cold, they will die instantly. " If you only have one 4L (3B + 1G- I would personally recolor the green to a blue) and one 3L (3B). Set your gems as follows: Spellslinger + Arc + Added Lightning + Added cold (or controlled destruction | Spellslinger + Wave of Conviction + Physical to Lightning or Added Lightning Damage. Be aware, this build uses lightning skills to level up because they're significantly faster (in my opinion) than using the normal creeping frost, vortex, frostbolt setup.

" Prioritize getting a new chest with high ES/resists. A 5L 400+ ES chest >>>>>>> 6L Tabula. Your main damage source isn't just Vortex, it's also Creeping Frost, so you don't require a 6L do deal a ton of damage. Also, looks like your gloves have pretty low ES- shoot for 110+ ES on the gloves. Once you do that, you'll see a significant increase in your ES/survivability. Take a look at the gear section of the guide- it should give you some good pointers. " If you enable your Characters to be public, I can look at your character and provide you some direction. As it stands, I have no idea what you're doing right or what you're doing wrong. As dralshady said, a low level Creeping Frost or Vortex will bite you very hard. As a spell build, your primary source of dps comes from the level of your gems.

" Just put out the low-life version POB. It's a fair bit different than before the 3.12 update, as it no longer uses Wicked Ward and instead relies on ES leech + regen, but should overall be better at sustaining with the buff to Vitality.

i've decided on a gg item for the league:
a ring with frostbite on hit, with an empty socket, with a bunch of resists. this will let me shove discipline into a ring since i'm never linking it to anything, and then get another free gem slot in my boots. i'm experimenting with my boot slot. discipline CWDT + void sphere + blind note: discipline is linked but the linkage doesn't matter so you don't have to waste fusings. i'm unclear how much i like this compared to other choices, but void sphere hinder + blind feel nice with how mobile this build is. |

Really enjoying the build, just lvl 54 still and lvling but the damage feels real good :) One issue im having tho is that I feel like a giant glass cannon, if anything tickles me I almost go down every time and if its a rare mob that takes a swing at me I more or less always die :S Will this get better later on or is this kinda a glass canon build?

" Thanks, I did upgrade my stuff. Can I ask in case of going with 5L beast fur, what is the priority of the gems? :d |

How do you guys think this build will perform on console?
Does it require too much skill triggering/pressing? On consoles hotkeys kind of suck so the less button pressing the better. Flasks Notwithstanding since there is no way to avoid flaskpiano. |
