I need some advice.

If I swap Corrupted Soul for Inner Conviction, I no longer can use Cold Snap.

I don't need Wave of Conviction because of the glove implicit.

I already have all 5 curses covered between Helmet and Acanist Brand.

What else can I use in the shield to go along with Frost Shield and Sigil?

mmm i’m missing something…
you have a 4 link arcanist brand?
what are your links?

yes, 4 link arcanist brand, as I don't link anything to Frost blink so that frees up a socket for me.

Arcanist Brand - Ele Weakness - Conductivity - Asassins Mark

Helmet has my other two curses (Punishment and Enfeeble)

With the massive amount of movement speed mageblood has given me I have removed Frostblink of Wintery Blast from my set up. I replaced it with regular Frostblink.

I now only use Frostblink to do instant repositions in Ultimatum or Simulacrum when needed.

I should have properly red the svalinn affixes :D

yeah, needs to be an elemental skill.

I have seen on poeninja people trying Frostbite, and even Ice Nova of Deep Freeze, I assume for their potential to freeze but I can't see this being very effective.

Does Vortex of Projection break our build if I try it in the shield?

i was thinking about ice nova of deep freeze too, but i’ve yet to test if it can actually freeze reliably

frostbite sounds okeish, but just for the freeze part.

i’m like the biggest fan of temp chain so probably i would try to implement it in the build, but you’ll need to swap thing around

what vortex does for the build?

btw on the wiki says that vortex, in contrast to ice nova, destroys the frostbolt from which it expands…
so, on paper, it’s not super ideal

oh I misread it, yeah not useful at all.

Temp Chains would be interesting. I could stick that in the Brand set up and move conductivity to the shield I guess.

Nothing seems as good as my Frenzy Charges though. I may stick with Corrupted Soul until something emerges that makes some sense to me.

I avoided Ultimatum while getting to 100 because it was the only league mechanic that could kill me in T16's.

But now that I don't care about dying, I am running Ultimatums like crazy (and having no issues thankfully) and it is giving a ton of currency.

Much better than the Expedition/Legion/Harvest farming I did to get to a Mageblood.

I need to figure out something good to pair it with that will allow me to get in and out of maps quickly.

Elemental damage + area damage militant faith is an insane boost to dps, maybe that can change your mind :D. Need to check that on pob tho. But damage wise it'd be an incredible buff.
