Very expensive tradeoff and not a dps boost

Thanks for this great guide - just one question, I see in rankings lots of players add "Cold to Fire" gem... like here: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/swoozers/jimmy_jetpack?i=1&search=skill%3DWinter-Orb

But I do not understand why... is there a specific reason / benefit?

They are trying to get more damage for fire penetration to be useful. But it's not really worth it.

I personally just was gathering any wands, there are plenty of amazing wands you can get while levelling and eventually you will get a great one. Noone really does it, but if you are not in a hurry it's literally the best way to get a good weapon early

I think it might be better, but three heralds would be impossible without huge mana reservation

That's absolutely something you can POB, but since I've done it already I'll tell you the gist. Not enough life or other survival nodes within reach to make up for the 30/40 dodge loss.

Armor isn't tuned well and is almost irrelevant. Energy shield is irrelevant on a build that uses life. And the decreases are only Less(not a multiplicative/overall reduction), so the actual reductions are very small even if you use EB+MOM in your build. The only tangible reduction in defense is the -block(for dual wield or shield users, maybe for staff users if you're going that route. And only attack block), and that's also small which the extra 10(in 40) more than makes up for.

And how are you getting hit much more?

The trade for those 9 pts is more damage or quality of life or a mix of both.



I assume that without the acro/Phase Acro, your didge chance is far less meaning overall you get hit a lot more.

I'm confused. The first thing you said is there's not enough survival nodes in reach to make up for the loss of acro/phase acro.

Your initial opinion was that the increase in life from this tree opposed to 3.5 Winter Orb's tree, was that this variant is better, which would oppose your statement that acro/phase acro cant be made up for.

I'm trying to understand, not argue. I assume you have more experience and knowledge on this topic, so in your opinion, going from my current tree, using acro/phase acro, switching to the crit tree with about 1k more life, does survivability go up, down, or stay about the same?

Thanks

I didn't know you were discussing a past variant. I looked at what I thought your initial question was, which was the dodge nodes, where you ask about them and how survival will suffer.

I've just been casually checking this specific guide, and made some changes to the tree. With those changes(that I had forgotten were changes) and your question I thought it had the dodge nodes.

I disagree with the change if that's what has happened. You lose ~9-10% dps and gain ~30-35% effective hp.

EDIT: Need to correct myself from earlier. I said Acrobatics wasn't multiplicative, I was wrong. It can be an issue when going EB MOM. Sorry.

Thanks for the build, it sounds like a lot of fun. Do you think I can play this build as league starter?
