[3.15] Eye of Winter ES/LL Self-Cast Occultist

Lol, accidentally just ran a T14 map with a non-linked lvl 19 Eye of Winter and wondered why the damage was a bit low.
Still killed map boss and cleared the map including breaches relatively well.

And another ooopsie a few maps later.
I accidentally activated a expidition remnant with "monsters are immune to cold damage" in a T15 8 mod map with enfeeble and hexproof.
Turns out even with those mods the chaos damage to spells from the doedre's malevolence is enough to kill monsters. And not like 10 minutes spend to kill them, but more like 2-3 minutes. Which in my book would still be okay if you want that one extra juicy remnant...

Hey , just wondering what my upgrade order should be for now i have around 8-10 ex to spend so should I :
a) upgrade my large cluster for 3 passive one - around 3ex for that +
get transcendent flesh for 3.5ex or :
b) get hatred crit watcher's eye for around 7 ex + maybe cluster if i would've any spare currency
or maybe upgrade all gems / buy 20/20 ones and either cluster/jewel/watchers
or
even get better boots - 150es + more MS for ~2ex. Thats all ideas i had in mind just unsure in from where i should go next so i dont waste currency and feel real upgrades. Thanks for any kind of help !

In my humble opinion:
Gems first.
EoW 21/20 would be good too.

Not sure if you bought boots already - but with tailwind on them it's a long way to a good upgrade. Probably need to get onslaught or elusive on them along with tailwind for it to be a real upgrade anyway.

I'd probably go for transcendent flesh and then the watcher's eye.
The 15% cast speed one for zealotry isn't too bad either for quality of life.

Then the large cluster.

Yea i didnt even looked at tailwind&elusive ones , just mentioned it cuz in mine i dont have 30% ms and like wise streamer once said "movement speed is the best stat in the game" and i can somehow agree , makes easier to dodge boss mechanic. I wanted it just for MS and maybe little more ES not sure if worth 2 ex cuz i need triple res on top tho.

For Watcher's I thought we aim for 100% crit chance or 80+ as in my case is good enough for a while? Cast speed indeed is some QoL after all.

About cluster being last prio , it makes sense since i need more levels to really use that medium/small clusters later , i was wondering about upgrading cluster since my is as budget as you can get, and seal mender is up top, makes 2passive to even get there which sucks.

So Gems>Flesh>Watcher's> Cluster's

Just need to figure if I do need that 11% more MS so probably even boots before watcher's

Cheers

Oh, sorry. I probably looked at your standard Occultist and didn't realise it.
Triple resist boots + ES + movement speed doesn't sound too easy to buy.
May be try to get the res elsewhere?
For example you can get 20 all res with a Militant Faith that has 2% all res per 10 devotion. Shouldn't be too expensive and makes it easier for other gear slots.

Crafted the +1 Helmet today and the faster projectiles feel so much better. Not as beautiful as yours, but still better than the Crown :)

Sadly I cant finish the Simulacrium on this build, I'm getting oneshot at wave 19-20. Any advice?

Otherwise I did Uber and Maven Today, died a few times but a more skilled player could do this deathless i think.

Great Build, thank you a lot. I got frustrated with forbidden Rite self cast and your build saved the League for me!

i did the other week the complete simulacrum for the first time, my recomendation is to keep moving a lot in the last wave and watch where the bosses spawn in the arena and get away from them, kill all mobs and leave them to die last, i would kill omniphobia (the axe guy) first and kosis (dual sword guy) at the very last since he can oneshot me with 7.7K ES

here is my POB if it helps in something

Thanks a lot, im gonna have a look at your PoB :)
I have 7.8k ES so it should be doable for me as well. At least i hope so.

Maybe I should switch back to anomalous eye of winter to kill the mobs faster.
Or Upgrade my boots and loose Aspect of the Spider for Onslaught+Tailwind. But they are so expensiv to craft...

Could we spec into a third curse replacing increased aoe on hydrosphere with another curse?

Sniper's mark would in theory be choice #1 for damage (about 30%), but it's a hex and there's no good why to automate the casting. So you would have to self cast it.
Another choice would be Assassin's Mark.
Depending on your base crit chance it grants between 15 and 25% damage.
Doesn't too bad to me...
