So I am confused on why you say to roll Snowstorm, do we get any random cold to attacks on a ring or something? I'm not exactly sure how chill/freeze works, does the amount not matter since it crits or something?

Skitterbots provides the Chill. But I actually opted out from using that cluster setup and another one you can do is two with 12% increased damage while holding a shield, with both at least having Fuel the Fight and Veteran Defender, and one with Martial Prowess for some added Accuracy. That one you take all 8 passives and the other with a filler talent just go up along the side for the jewel slots.

Then should we be using Summon Skitterbots at all? I assumed there is a synergy between them and they both need each other. I might be wrong about it though

Skitterbots shock bosses. They offer a nice single target boost even without the snowstorm node. I have also opted to use the shield large jewels. I lose 2mil single target DPS when turning skitterbots off as an example.

Yeah this seems like a more stable way to get your mana leech and a nice chunk of ES. I was looking at running 1 of each, but running 2 shield clusters seems to be nice. I'm not too worried about damage, would rather be more tanky. I've never built a stacking attribute character before. So this is all new to me. I do fine in T8-T10, but I can def feel my damage isn't there yet. I need a much better wand and a lot more Int. I'm not sure how to craft the amulet and rings. I have a Crusader and a Shaper, got the Attributes on the Shaper from Chaos spamming (I ran out of Alts) still working on getting T1 Int % on the Crusader. After that I just put them together with an awakener orb and those two stats transfer and then generate the other random stats? I completely missed the league that introduced these mechanics.

As for the chest fossil crafting or just chaos spam? Craft of Exile says around 400c should get t1-t2 flat, %, and increased % int. While Fossil is around 80 attempts, but with the cost of fossils right now, I think it would end up costing 20x more than chaos spamming.

I'm also playing with PS only, not a big fan of KB. Just swap out Barrage for Chain on single target.

So I've finally decided to write an update here regarding my character. Got level 100, loved the build A LOT and this is now one of my favorite characters ever. Got a little bored of the league and am now playing a Group Self Found private league, but anyway want do showcase my gear:


Around 7m sDPS, 15,324 ES and 2222 int (accidentally!). This is definetely one of the best times I've had in this game and I even tanked "DIE" in Sirus; one of the best feelings is that it doesn't abuse anything clearly OP, it's just an amalgamation of synergies on top of multipliers that both add to damage and ehp.

Hi, I am really enjoying this build so far build love to have a bit more dmg because delirium maps seems still kinda harsh. Where do I miss the "big damage" boost? I know that I could get more int on my chest and boots, but beside that? Are the rings that bad? The wand?
Around 1500 int and 8k es
Greetings

At what level should we transition to CI if we have decent gear? I've looked but can't find the answer to this in first post.

So what's the benefit of chilling conflux if we aren't running snowstorm and now going to double attack damage with shield? I'm crafting starter gear to transition from poison str stacker and when I slammed a hunter exalt on my planned start helm I ended up getting a similar helmet to the OPs current helm (only real difference is some a little res and 50 es). Obviously I failed to hit % int which is oof, but I was wondering if I needed to start over?

I was looking through poeninja builds section for similar characters to mine and wonder why no one (besides me) is using wicked ward?

My guess would be the decreased energy shield leech. I know I would like to see my leech rate higher still. I'm not sure how that balances out with the ES regen though.

Can anyone check my character and see what I can improve?

I know my rings need work but it's hard finding good rings (I am not a crafter by any means)

Also my int is low so I'm wondering how to increase it as it would definitely help.
