Need to get a ring with Frostbite, but so far didnt manage to get one.

If you don't want to pay for one, you can try making one with harvest "reforge with caster".
You only need a good redeemer ring base (for example two-stone ring with item level 84 at the least for gaining access to T1 resists) which is about 3c.
Your harvest needs to be in lvl 74 zone at least, which would be a T7 map.
You could go with a lower tier map as well, but need a base with lower item level then (which can't roll the best mods).

Trying to 6Link my Shavs atm t try this out as a secon character.

Can you upload a video of some map clearing maybe?

I'm probably going to hop on Twitch and stream it this weekend for a bit. I'll upload some clips from that once I'm done streaming.

For those of you following this guide, I did end up making one 'sort of' big change.

I was fooling around in PoB a bit to see where I can squeak out some more min/max and came across something. With a Hatred Watcher's eye, and using Inc Crit Strikes gem instead of Cold Pen, we end up with a 100% crit strike chance NOT including flasks...so permanently.

I then replaced the gem in the guide and PoB shortly afterwards. Granted, a crit Hatred Watcher's Eye is expensive, so be warned ahead of time o.O

I uploaded a quick video since a few of you were asking for one. It's a T15 Burial Chambers.

hmm with 2 Enlighten level 3, charisma via annoinment and some more aura ndoes we could go for Atziris Reflection. DO you think its worth it?

would look like this (similar to my current Characater but with the atziris added)

Its Curse Immunity and 1000k more energy Shield. Well..and its cool.

Up to you if you wanna go that route. It'll certainly be a bit more defensive at the cost of a lot of dps.

Me personally, I don't really find curses to be an issue after the last couple of patches. The only one that really does anything anymore is Vulnerability. Even Elemental Weakness doesn't matter any longer...you just need 95 in each resist and it does nothing. Temp Chains? Meh...it's not awful and we already cast spells rather slow...so we're just a bit slower. Enfeeble? Well...the extra DPS we have by having more gem slots and more passive points makes up the damage lost to being hit by Enfeeble xD

Yeah, i forgot to mention i swapped cold pen for inc crit chance, the gem alone is a +25% crit chance boost, so nothing is going to be better when we have 500+ crit multi aha!
The atziri's reflection route could be interesting , but i would anoint charisma, but rather level up a bit and get sovereignty and the nodes leading to it instead. of course this requires to be at a higher level

Also quick question.
I got crowns of the inward eye with both enchants, which one do you think is better? the %dmg or the 12% more shards? i'm not sure the extra shards count toward the last explosion so it might just be a clear QoL rather than a real dmg output boost

I've tried all 3 enchants.

Extra Proj Speed, at least for me, feels like 'too much'. Just using Anomalous EoW for 20% total for the build feels right.

40% damage is well, 40% damage.

When I tried the frequency I didn't really feel anything.

I honestly don't know how to figure out what is better between Damage and Frequency. I went with Damage because well, it's 40% damage and we all know how that calculates. Frequency might be better in certain situations, but I dunno lol

Basically the way I think of Frequency is that it's a 12% MORE multiplier, but that extra shard actually has to hit to do anything, or it's a 0% MORE multiplier. 40% damage is always 40% damage.
