I'm still FAIRLY new to PoE but want to try this build with the upcoming league. I assume for weapons I should focus on daggers? Or did you find there's a better combo of items (dagger/sword, sword/dagger)?

Thanks for the build! My first "blind" playthrough happened to get a cool totem out of the gate and loved it.


any weapon with good caster stats (cast speed, spell crit, added damage) as well as shaper gained as extra

dual daggers is king of DPS, but the +1 shield mod on shaper shields will be a top tier item for this build, also allowing for shied charge

Could you go a little into detail. Why exactly was this build buffed ? The hard damage nerf doesnt outweight the buffed cast speed. Could you do the math on how the new hatred works ?

Also, when having two long winter jewels, do i have 100% conversion without the helmet enchant ? So having only the enchant can replace both jewels too ? Or do i need both to get the max conversion. Dont really understand how it adds up here.


hatred now gives a MORE multiplier for full cold, with a nerf for phys gained as cold

if you use 2x winter jewels, GC is 100% cold. this is a buff

if you dont use jewels, use hrimsorrow/hrimburn or the helm enchant. playing GC as as anything but pure cold is nerfed.

noobish question but where can i see how much conversion i have?
So when talking about the more multiplier here is my calculation:

GC 1000 phys damage:

old version: (slower casting, 16.2% more damage)

1162 damage + 418.32 Hatred = 1580.32 Damage

10 Seconds of casting = 13 casts = 20544.16 cold damage

new version:

1000 damage + 250 Hatred = 1250 damage

18% MORE Multiplier = 1250 * 1.18 = 1475 Damage

10 Seconds of Casting = 15 casts = 22125 Damage

So for full conversion + all the statsticks that give extra cold damage getting multiplied, this is buff of at least 10.8% increased Damage. This is huge for long fights like uber elder

Can you confirm these calcs ?
Your latest PoB only has 82 points spent on the tree.

mental math

GC converts 60% of its own phys to cold naturally

then you need to find another 40%

2x long winter is 20% each = 40, total 100

GC enchant helm = 40, total 100

hrimsorrow/hrimburn = 50, total 110 (but means 100)

Well this build is nice as fuck. This is definitely my league start. Tanks a lot sir
What skill tree would you advice to use for league start ?
The one from Leveling + Skill Trees section or the one used in PB ?
