Hi exiles!

For 3.22, I will be farming expedition and auto chess (silver) coins on league-start. I farmed Delirium for the previous two league-starts, and the Extreme Archeology notable made Expedition very attractive. Expedition is one of Cold DoT Elementalist's strong suits, so running expedition is playing to our strengths.

For T14-T16, I intend to run Destructive Play but this is TBC as nobody is clear at this point of time on how this notable passive works exactly.

I have put together a short video explaining the strategy.

Cheers!


For "The Seventh Gate" Keystone. Don't you need to allocate the Six Gateways that exists for it to be active?


I think you can allocate it without having the effect. If it does not work, then path through Bold Undertakings or Overloaded Circuits. The purpose of pathing through is to grab the 15% 1 tier higher passives.

None of the new support gems do anything for this build right? The only one that seems remotely relevant is spellblade but I highly doubt you could really fit it into the build without spending insane amounts of currency for meagre payoff.

I've really been considering running Cold DoT for my league start. I'm planning to try my hand at Hardcore for the first time ever. Thoughts on the Trickster variant for this, or any notes on the differences?
Hello. This will be my second league.
This build use a filter?
Thank you a ton for the guide. Going to try it out as a league start!

It seems like there are some minor mistakes in the leveling gem section. At least if you assume no muling from other characters.

Bonechill support is not available until Act 4 "The Eternal Nightmare". Also the minimum req. level is 38 so for efficient levelers they might not be able to equip it until act 5.

You mention Herald of Lightning in act 3. I guess that's just a translation error as it should be Herald of Thunder

Do you have suggestions for replacing bonechill until it's available? I was thinking just goind with added cold damage. Should be able to get it to around lvl 9 or 10 with some additional dex.
Maybe even Ice Bite for the chance to freeze?

Yeah they are not relevant. We'll monitor PoE Ninja to see if anyone discovered any tricks to make them work.

I have played Cold DoT Trickster, and it is built quite different from Elementalist. I recommend following Jungroan's 3.21 Cold DoT Trickster Guide: https://youtu.be/C2IInQFreeY

Hello. What kind of filter are you referring to? Loot filter?

Thanks for proofreading the guide! :) I have made the necessary amendments.

Added cold damage does not affect DoT damage, it only affects the initial hit. Therefore I recommend using Elemental Focus or Swift Affliction if you have extra gem sockets.
