I have an additional leveling suggestion, since the guide features a leveling section. Kinetic bolt combined with two Storm Prisons is a very strong option for the first acts. Storm Prison gives ridiculous amounts of flat attack damage that Kinetic Bolt can actually use, since it is an attack skill. Those two Storm Prisons give you 5 power charges and sustain very early on, so you can easily play crit from level 20 on, which otherwise would never work. Add to that Doedres Tenure you get the 50-60% increased spell damage at 150% of its value while the reduced cast speed doesn't affect you. Add Karui Ward and you just breeze through early leveling.

That beeing said, leveling this build was much, much better than i feared after my first CoC Ice Nova build. I actually transitioned to CoC at level 38 right away. Mortem Mensu has the base crit chance for it and comes with some nice global crit multi. The lgoh on the claw makes the build rather tanky as well.
If this isn't played as a league starter and you have some currency, this build makes for the smoothest leveling experience ever, even beating Hollow Palm Technique by far. If you already have the Watcher's Eye and a 6 link unique you can easily transitions to CI at level 50, be unkillable with 3k ES and the ES on hit and oneshot everything. And I only just got the first of the two movement speed ascendancy nodes.


What you said about the leveling is probably right. But I'm not motivated to write the leveling section again (I copy & pasted this section from my old guide). I believe that most players who can afford this build are experienced enough to complete all the acts without any assistance.

Hello again,

Your aps is too high for 14% CDR. Lower your aps or get 52% CDR.

Your helmet can have more ES as well.

You should not use the second large cluster jewel.

Of course, you should lower the aps of cyclone from here.

I have a problem with damage. It seems to be too low. I know with these items it won't be 20-30 kk, but it seems i don't even have 1 kk. Maybe i made big mistake? Can someone take a look at my profile and tell me where i go wrong?

Can you share your PoB?

Your cluster jewel sucks. You are spending too many points just to take Overlord. Find a better one to spend more points for offense.

Your aps is too high. Drop minimum frenzy charges on your ring and respec Retribution.

Can somebody explain to me how you guys get 100% Crit Chance??

Ty!!!
is the aps must be fixed in order to get optimal 14%cdr or as long as it is below next breakpoint?


I did a thing. Bought the chest for 14ex without influence, removed a trash suffix, and hunter exalted T2 attack crit. Annul'd the "prefixes cannot be changed" craft once before getting the bad suffix off.

T1 ES%
T1 Hybrid ES%
T1 Flat ES
T1 Cold Res
T2 Attack Crit - I would have shat myself if this had hit T1 Attack crit. Lol.

In total I spent about 20ex on this before divining it. Spent around 8ex in Divining process.

Enjoying the build quite a bit, not doing the amount of damage that I'd like to but I am also missing 2 levels on awakened CoC for the 14% CDR breakpoint and otherwise have too much attack speed for no CDR. Also using a 3L herald of Ice for clearing instead of Wrath (need a level 4 Enlighten and +1 gems gloves for Wrath)

Thanks N0esy for the tips,
I can not find out how I see the exact attack speed :(
What is my exact value for the APS?
I got my helmet a little better. Should I risk removing the mana prefix with an Anul or should I use a Crusader Ex?
I'm not going to go to 52% CDR, I don't know where to get the exalts for all the gear then on Resi, Str, Dex plus 10.2 Aps.

Hi N0esy
Thx for the build
My first CoC character and that type of gameplay feels like OP for me)

I mix some tips from this thread and it looks good but if you can lookover my POB and tell what have i missed or doing wrong that would be great

Choose cyclone in PoB and see Attack Rate. Otherwise, go to Act 1, kill some mobs to gain elusive, pop up your flasks and check aps of cyclone in game.

Your helmet is fine. You can crusader slam on it, but the chance of hitting -9 res is very low, so you can leave it as is if you don't want to waste your money.

@Uaira
Your pastebin doesn't work.

@Warpig
You are using Thread of Hope, but is it good? I think the tree suggested in the guide is better:
https://pastebin.com/t6qXML6K

You'll get 400 more ES, 20% increased aoe and similar DPS at the cost of some ES leech rate. You also want corrupted blood immunity.

Another big issue is that your aps is too high. Get CDR boots or drop silver flask.

I want to share my recent experience with this build.
First, I'm doing deep delving. Yesterday I hit 1000 depth. At this depth things became a little rippy, and I started to die from time to time. I can still go deeper, but I probably won't, as I got kind of bored at this stage. I killed some delve bosses while deep delving. You can find some videos in the videos section.
Most of attacks from these bosses literally one-shots me, so I had to dodge every attack from them.

The second thing I did recently is Burial chambers farming with 40% increased IIQ.
I ran T14 Burial Chambers with 5 delirium orbs, 4 unique watchstones, 4 sextants, 4 scarabs, an alva mission, and the beyond zana mod. I used these uniques to get 40% IIQ:


I didn't change anything else because I was lazy. I know that my aps is too high because I lost 15% CDR from boots.

Even with these IIQ items, I can clear mobs easily. I found 2 doctors so far.
