============
DISCLAIMERS!
============

NOT CLAIMING IT TO BE THE BEST OR THE ONLY HC VIABLE COC BUILD OUT THERE, IT SIMPLY WORKS AND IS FAIRLY CHEAP AND IS ENDGAME VIABLE.



Pros
-Stable preference vs single target as well as packs
-90%+ crit chance
-Easy increased damage with 2x wands with a lot of potential for endgame wands (crit multi with ele leech)
-Doable with a tabula
-Fun to play
-No need for manually anything, 1 click build
-2 defensive mechanics + evasion
-can run no regen maps
-High uptime on vaal gems and flasks with surgeon mod
-Almost no stats requirement in gear.

Cons
-Cannot run ele reflect maps/corrupted zones
-Require a 6L or a 5L volls
-not that great "starter" build
-No need for manually anything, 1 click build

About the build
===============

Hello, this is the CoC build i have been running this CB season. The idea behind the build was to create a HC viable CoC build, stacking a couple of defensive mechanics while still having a good QoL game-play style and have a good overall damage without the need of super expensive endgame uniques. Aka, no selfcursing, able to handle reflect, only one damage link for both single target and packs(one click build)

Here is my take on it.

Note: There is no need to run vaal pact in beta unless you want to run double reflect maps, the reflect simply doesn't deal enough dmg to kill you if you chain a surgeon sapphire flask while fighting(100% uptime). Also one of the reason i'm not running a dual element setup with EE.

Core gear:
-Any 6L or 5L volls, tabu works as well.
-Fertile Mind, Cobalt Jewel - http://cb.poedb.tw/us/unique.php?n=Fertile+Mind
-Rare jewel with +2 mana on attack
-wands with atleast 10% crit chance

Best in slot gear:
-Rat's nest
-Chill of corruption

Links
=====


Barrage - gmp - coc - pcoc - skill1 - skill2
=Skills= ice spear/arctic breath/freezing pulse

This is your core link, compare to using kb with chain gmp with only one skill gem, your mana cost is much lower(15vs66) and therefore have no issues sustaing yourself with 1 jewel with +2 mana on attacks, also you dont need a single target link therefor saving up slots for other things.


Herald of ice + herald of thunder + curse on hit + warlord's mark

This allows you to skip life leech in your main link and also generates endurance charges. It has a very high curse uptime, as everything you kill will shatter and trigger the hoi nova to curse, and hot will be running all the time as long as you keep killing stuff.

The endurance charges will also allows you to run a CWDT with Immortal Call and increased duration.
For cure immune mobs, simply pop an aziri flask or a sapphire flask. Ele leech on wands helps too.


Increased duration - Vaal skill1 - Vaal skill2/frost wall - bloodrage
=Skills= vaal grace/vaal haste

with chill of corruption you can basically chain the same vaal skill as it will probably be up again when it runs out(everything you kill will shatter, granting 1 additional soul per mob)

Other good links and gems you could use:

Cwdt + Increased duration + immortal call + warlord's mark

Will put your endurance charges to good use and will also render off-screen reflect into nonexistence, which isn't even a problem with the new reflect mechanics.

Ice golem/Chaos golem

Matter of taste

Righteous fire
Good for burst damage, sustainable with life leech and flasks, require a good flask setup to work properly though.

Use: Surgeon's Ruby Flask +  Surgeon's Eternal Life Flask || and use another (preferable sapphire flask) with remove burning to turn it off.

Warlord's mark/Assassin's mark

good for precasting if you just entered the zone.

Purity of Ice/elements

Good filler for your mana if you got problems capping out res, can also be replaced with Wrath/Anger if you pick up Charisma in the tree.

Chill of corruption - the gem even if it's nerfed it's still op as hell. because of that i think i will it will be super expensive...

the build will work without it ?

this build can do reflect maps with no vaal pact ?

Could you upgrade gear, nothing on the video.

At which point can you do this point and removing lvl ing gem and gear ?

Gear pls!

Gear looks like Alpha's howl/rats nest, 5-6 link volls protector, Maligaro's (?) two rare wands and the rest rare gear.

yo both skilltree links doesnt work
