[3.23] Lk's Cold DoT Ele [League-start to over 40m DoT] (Wildwood Primalist Update)

On a side note, I have some gear I'm giving away to anyone starting out here. I have a decent chest 6l, 4b 2g, a shield with good life and some res. An Eye of Malice, a sceptre and some lvl 20 gems for this build. Feel free to hit me up in game.
Hello,
can someone please guide me?. When do we make the change to end game gear? I'm following the build
"
Standard End-Game - 19.2m DoT DPS, 83k EHP
but still dying easily. I'm level 92 and changed to the end game gear. Still working on my flask. Thank you for all your help.

Just taking a quick peek. Your life is really low. To low to survive. Life below 4500 is gonna be sketchy. Maybe consider sacrificing some dps for items with life on them. Your shield for instance and gloves could have much better life rolls. Perhaps get a vermilion ring as well and swap out mark of the Shaper until you are more balanced. Maybe also consider Legacy of Fury boots with life implicit mod.

Those flasks are a big issue and a massive part of the problem. I'd say make those a top priority.

I also recomend getting some more levels to be able to allocate some jewels that will give life and some other nice mods. They are quite cheap. You can get lvls through buying 5 ways on TFT. 2 Div for 5 runs. That will give you a really nice SP boost.

I'm no expert but I'm sure someone will chime in with even more advice.

My goal is still to get something like this with +4 or +2/+1:



Btw, is someone interested in this wand?

Just made it in order to get something a little better than my current one, just to notice that I end up with a +/-0.

/edit: wand sold to dope
You say Prison Cell, I hear 'Holiday'.

Nice wand mate. I'm interested. What are you looking for cash wise?

I can only agree with Dope. The flask setup look more like a bad joke to me and your life is really low.
It seems a little for me that you tried to get the resistances up for the shaper ring to hard. It's a great dmg boost, yes. but the shaper ring is really a win more piece, that you equip when your build is running really smooth and you want to squeeze more dps out of it.

After those stuff is fixed, we could discuss about a few more optimizations.

As general advice: following a guide is fine. Just try to understand why the creator made the setup this way in stead of blindly following it. This understanding will help you alot if you have to adapt

I agree with Dope and Judas. You need at least 4k+ life, preferably 4.4k or higher.

Quick fixes:
Part 1: Since you have DD, you can drop the Vampirism wheel (4SP). Also, drop the Arcane Sanctuary wheel (3SP). Allocate the 6SP to acquire 3 basic jewel socket slots. Buy 3 jewels with 7% max life and 7% cold dot. One of them needs to have 2% mana reservation efficiency so that you can run all of the auras. The jewels are quite cheap. Add a 5% life node/16% cold damage above frost walker with the last SP.

Part 2: Follow the flasks from the guide. They are very important, especially the life flask and the phasing flask.

Part 3: After 1 and 2 are done, buy a pair of boots with 5-6% life implicit. Trade link: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Crucible/lRY0YqnhV


After 1 and 3, your life will be around 4k. https://pobb.in/6JDoqSvTFANa

Subsequently, the best way to spend your next few divines is to get 5 way carry to lvl 97 and obtain a pair of gloves with a higher life roll. If you can get some dex on your future gear, it will be great as you will be able to drop the 2SP spent on Precision.

Thanks for all the help. I will do those changes.

POB has to be 100% delirious (20% of dps) to show dps (as creeping frost has hit DoT cap).

gems adjusted for lvl/qual/alt (~2d), flask for % spell leech. spell leech for ES is nice, lets us get more regen. alternatively, can spend 1 sp to get the spell leech near ghost reaver. i opted to get curse effect because i'm going max crazy dps.



currently 66.2k EHP, 4350HP, 24.7k EV, 22.2k AR, 75% all res, 29% chaos res, +127% movespeed.

103.6m combined dps (against guardian/pinnacle boss).

37.3m creeping frost
35.4m vortex
16.8m vaal cold snap
14.0m cold snap

plans:
empower 5

Congratulations on breaking 100m with a reasonable EHP under 200 div :)

I will be travelling for the next 1 week+
