[3.20] ❄️❄️ Velyna's Hollow Palm Ice Crash ❄️ ❄️ Leaguestart Section | Hidden and Feared Viable

Hello !

Today i've been experimenting with some stuff :

- taking avatar of the veil instead or avatar of the slaughter
- not spending any point into frenzy charge
- taking only hatred with supreme ego keystone
- tried Cold to the Core / Doryani's Lesson on a cluster jewel

Cold to the core is really cheap because it's stat based, however with more than 1600 stat points on this build, it gives 64 increased cold damage ^^ Doryani's Lesson allow to leach life from elem skill which is really helpful.
BIS would have disorienting display to add chance to blind on hit which would make the enemies miss almost all the time (due to high eva / dodge and the ascendancy).

the idea is to get a little more defense and running through monsters pack in the Heist maps, phasing is really amazing there. I'm not sure I'll be able to have spider aspect on a ring so loosing only one aura isn't that big on my build right now, I'll keep testing in higher tier maps.

I do a bit less damage (not that much though with supreme ego), less aoe with the loss of blood & sand, however it seems like survival got higher as I don't die from one shot in tier 14/15 anymore.

Hi there,

enjoying the build but feeling extreme squishy at lvl 90 with 5K life.

Can someone take a look at my POB Pastebin and have some tips?`

I cannot even kill Fenumus to get Aspect on my ring! :)

You're a couple of levels ahead of me, but I can see already that I have twice the evasion you do. So I'm at 84% and you're only at 51%. I've got 3k armor and 22% physical damage reduction, but you have... 0?

I think that's your problem.

Here's my POB (note that I'm using Zodiac and not the OWN jewel).

Anyway to hit +35 to 40 chaos resistance? Because Heist contracts have chaos damage. The Labs and Thaumaturgy contracts.

Maybe a 12 point large cluster with chaos res suffix? There's not much stat budget left in the build so +35 is unlikely.

Thank you for the build, I'm really enjoying it.
This is my second season playing the game, and the previous I played with minions and this is much funier.

So I have a noob question.
I just bought a Brutal Restraing jewel. When equiping it gives me
3x 5% Dextery
25% Increased Critical strike chance
20% Increased Elemental Damage
Dextery on all small nodes

And some useless percs
20% Increased Projectile damage
Gain Onslaught
And Minions increased movement speed.


I don't know how hard is to get a better one. Should I reroll this gem until I get useful abilities onb all big nodes or that would be really hard and should keep this one?

I never used a jewel of this type before.

I'm surprised no one talked about the new gems.

*Default 20% increased Damage
*Alternate Quality 1 10% chance to Freeze enemies
*Alternate Quality 2 60% increased Damage with Ailments
*Alternate Quality 3 Third Stage deals 30% more Damage, First Stage deals 40% less Damage

I think the freeze is good. Not sure about Q3 though.

This build humming along well. I finally was able to get Vorici rank 3 in research and my glorious 3 white sockets 3 red.

Also the keystone "disorienting display" on cluster jewels is lowkey amazing. It's a decent range and always seems to trigger blindness on nearby enemies.

This build does insane damage. I'm almost at 1.4 million tooltip dps with flasks up/frenzy charges. Nothing really survives that. Only gotta be careful around some bosses and getting one shot by certain things. Otherwise pretty tanky too.

I got the build up and running, already better than frost blades starter

Also are we supposed to divine the Timeless jewel to hit 20% increased dexterity?

Look what I hit here, need to white 1 socket now.

Wow, the RNG

Can I just recommend Divergent Dash to everyone? This jewel gives 2 seconds of phasing after you dodge with 20% quality. It is fantastic while Heisting and/or Delving 🥰
