i started doing the switch probably a bi too soon at Lvl 86, but somehow in POB i dont see any regen from zealots oath (and regen of ES is VERY slow) any idea what i could be missing?

Newest PoB gets regen from a mastery, 2% while moving. Endgame PoB gets it from a different mastery same amount.

I think using Cold Snap and Bonechiil would also be beneficial for Scourge because you can pre-pop Cold Snap before transitioning into nightmare for some extra dps while also gaining some frenzy charges. So it would have its uses for mapping as well as DPS on bosses.

I took you advice and added this to my setup, single target is better. Still need to get it higher tho, much min maxing a head, but thats fine.

how exactly do we get power charges in the last pob?

I screwed up - I wanted to play a build I hadn't done before. I started Shak's Cold DoT for everyone and I got to about level 38 and was getting a feeling of deja vu.

So I checked my Standard league chars that I never play and sure enough, there's one there - I have no idea when I played it. So...

Anyone know how this build compares with Shak's build in 3.16? He claims Cold DoT is "BONKERS" in 3.16.

Atm I'd have to change 7 passive nodes to switch to this (although I only have 1 regret point). Maybe I don't need to switch the 3 early spell dmg nodes for the cast speed ones(?).

Can anyone advise if it's worth swapping to this build? Is this a top build? Good at delve (my fav part of the game)?

Thanks in advance. (I realise it's an unusual question!)

Hi Velyna

Actually i use your build but on my PoB my dps is really Low. i've a decent gear (don't have fenumus and bottle faith and).I've changed level of gems but don't change a lot too. So i don't understand why.
Some bosses are really long to kill.
Can you help me please?

when shopping for a Watcher's eye, what other affixes are best to have?
And wouldnt flat cold damage be better then increased %? (might be more expensive)

some that look interesting:

Gain (6-10)% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while affected by Clarity
(10-15)% chance to Recover 10% of Mana when you use a Skill while affected by Clarity

+(5-8)% Chance to Block Attack Damage while affected by Determination
reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes while affected by Determination
Chance to Block Spell Damage while affected by Discipline
Energy Shield gained for each Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline (very expensive it seems)

Damage Penetrates (10-15)% Cold Resistance while affected by Hatred

increased Lightning Damage while affected by Wrath
(1-1.5)% of Lightning Damage is Leeched as Energy Shield while affected by Wrath

Critical Strikes Penetrate (8-10)% of Enemy Elemental Resistances while affected by Zealotry
30% increased Maximum total Recovery per second from Energy Shield Leech while affected by Zealotry



And on a related note, is increased/added lightning damage better or worse than added cold (not sure because of the transformation)

The final version wants cold penetration hatred and whatever else you can get, crit penetration zealotry is next highest dps.

I did sirus 8 but it was painfull, it seems like im missing single target. Not sure what I can change to boost my dmg, already invested a lot, any advice?

Any way I could better increase my survivability? I die so fast.

Your gen setup is wrong in the wand and defensive trigger, probably elsewhere. Mana could be empty resulting in no triggered IC. Also the newest PoB has different setup with more armour.
