Srsly dude, half of the popular streamers plays Vortex/Cold Snap. Watch ZiggyD, Octavian for example. Builds are a bit different, but gameplay is the same.

Was reading this thread again and found this post and laughed so hard. So i was not expecting to hit 13k ES...



Really nice, still i cant recommend spider chest enough. That 10% less damage dealt by enemies is enormous compared to what extra ES you get from a better rare.

On an another note, im not entirely happy with its ES but this is what i finally managed to craft today.

Probably yeterday was the greatest day to craft. I bought 85 ilvl shaped hubris for lab enchant and got 40% vortex damage at first attempt lol. As result
. Not the most effective item for me cuz of Im plaing frostbolt-vortex and use coldsnap only for debuff but anyway its funny.

Tbh, I've already killed everything there is to kill, except Delve bosses (just don't like delve very much), even without Aspect of the Spider (still didn't get the beast, and just buying items with it is not my way since i'm crafting my gear myself) so now I'm pushing characters ES maximum just to have some goals).

Also not sure that 10% less damage dealt is better then more ES. To apply it you must be near target and sometimes you are getting shot offscreen, like for example at Uber Elder by Shaper balls. More ES also gives you more regen and faster recharge. And there is not many things that can oneshot 15k ES. Tried Shaper teleport slam, Minotaur burrow attack, Elder and Uber Elder Expanding nova - survived everything. Uber Atziri and her Empowered Flameblast might have a different opinion on that but still)

With the extra aoe from the chest, aspect of the spider literally offscreens enemies. Its base duration is enough that even shaper cant shake it off during the entire fight. It provides -10% res, -10% damage dealt, and +15% damage taken on every affected enemies by your spider webs. But yea, whether you go more ES or more damage reduction for spidy aura, the results are the same. With such gear no content is challenging anymore.



Were the last few pieces ive obtained, but all content can be done under an exalt.

Is there any other ways to color the bows besides spamming chomes, and hoping you get lucky? (This seems really expensive) Also, which member of the syndicate drops the cold damage mod?

Thanks!

Crafting bench 3B is the best way.

No clue, it seems kinda random to be but my guess would be cameria. I wouldnt try to color any other bow besides a 6link shortbow from porcupine, due to low dex requirement making it easier to get offs. 1 blue crafting table seemed to net the best results overall.

@ DevilsmilE

You make a good point about the dex requirement, I screwed up pretty badly on that regard. The difference in cost between 26 dex and 101 dex is thousands of chromes apparently.


@ Agr1as

Just wondering, how many chromes did it take to color your bow?
