This build suck so hard with Uber-elder.. can't do shit to this fight. Wasted 3 sets already, max success was 25% which is terrible comparing to other 100x times cheaper builds. I am so dissapointed and frustrated.

Lol, get rekt, this build is op asf.

OP with what? could you please clarify? You didn't even try endgame bosses

To farm maps? it is not as good as 90% other builds.
Great for delving? Not.
Great for killing generic shaper and his guardians - probably. But this can be done by any other builds even with less risk and definitely fewer investments.

This build is just to try out some CoC stuff (for fun), nothing else.

Cons:
-price-quality ratio is terrible, too expensive for these results.
-maps clear speed is average compared to other builds
-prepare to get recked sometimes if you didn't hit first (mele)
-delve side rooms running is a pain
-can't dodge stuff effectively (mele lock)
-can't do uber-elder

I really don't know what you're doing wrong with the build, but it took me a while to make my own variation and make it as OP as it is today. It takes investment in items and understanding the mechanics.

But this is literally the strongest build I have ever played, it is absolutely bonkers.

Added a picture that shows your stats vs mines.
Both main Ice Nova under our respective optimal circumstances.

I got very very good gear, but it's just to show how powerful this build becomes with a little love.

I did Uber Elder deathless when my Ice Nova was doing around 450-500K.

As I said before, I too had a good 2-3 days where I was lost as to why my damage was sub-optimal and stuff, but I worked the quirks out.

If you give up now it's over, else there's only reward and fun ahead.

PS: Leap Slam sucks, get Shield Charge. Have leap slam/fire dash in your swap weapon if you want to cross gaps.
Shield Charge + Quicksilver + Faster Attacks = INSANE movement and clear speed and is absolutely bonkers in Delving for main and off-pathing.

That is an awesome setup - glassy as anything but heck with 1.2m per ice nova hit I don't imagine much lasts more than a fraction of a second, and I'm including uber elder phases in that! Love it, 10/10. Is this dps picture v shaper/guardian?

Real assassins don't use diamond flasks!

With 46 unreserved mana how do you actually play, especially since I think Vortex costs more than that per cast...?

I would love to see your dps with a -9% cold res helm.

Thanks :)

The maths are a litle off somehow in PoB, I actually have about 81 MP unreserved after activating Vitality + Discipline + Herald of Ice + Aspect of Spider.

I have never ever missed a beat of Cyclones in group or a single target with 81 MP, even when spamming Vortex, probably thanks to Warlord's Mark and the 2 MP per hit on that ring and the Arcane Surge given by Vortex.

To answer your question, Vortex costs 30 MP to cast.

I did a few passive tree tests where I could have a flat 95% cyclone crit chance but I'd end up losing 175-225K ice nova damage! :O
So I'm keeping it in there for the moment until I can think of a better solution (if any since I have to go fetch the reduced mana reserved nods).


I imagine that things that can one shot people do one shot me :P But other than that, I got insane sustainability against non-fatal hits even if I only have 7350 eHP because of my Watcher's eye, which gives:

6/6/6
30 ES on hit when under Discipline
23 HP on hit when under Vitality
67% increased HP recovery from Flasks (greatly increases the potency of a Seething Eternal Life Flask)

Damage against Shaper/Guardians:


And yeah at that amount of damage, even Chayula is a joke :P Can't die if nothing have time to attack me haha

I checked out of curiosity and Cospri's Ice Nova are at 386K and the frostbolts at 362k.


Edit:
Another thing that helps my survivability are my Acuitys.

When I equip these instead of these pure damage gloves (freshly crafted a few hours ago!):

I have exactly 89% Resistance everywhere, which helps tanking all elemental-based hits with
