[3.23] Lk's Cold DoT Ele [League-start to over 40m DoT] (Wildwood Primalist Update)

Been lurking the half the league and learning from here after starting with tpb on maxroll.. big thanks to all the helpful tips and tricks.. Just wondering how are u having the mana for aspect of the spider? I just swapped from a +1 carcass jack to a +1/+2 and spent like 3-4d crafting the shield.

My current build:
https://pobb.in/sD9mE9v8MrSZ

Have about 6-7d saved up and finally feeling like I’m somewhat tanky enough for my farming strat (dunes breach red altars).
Any suggestions for next best upgrades?

Hey! No problem~

Aspect of the spider is not being run or included in the DPS.

Suggestions for 6-7d:
1. Vaal Cold Snap lvl 21
2. Frostbite lvl 21
3. Empower lvl 4
4. Awakened Controlled Destruction for Vaal Cold Snap
5. Quality on Flame Dash and Shield Charge improves your mobility
6. Quality on Divine Blessing improves Hatred's effect
7. Devouring Diadem with increased effect of Ele Weakness/Frostbite (low liquidity atm)

Let us know how it goes :)

Thank you so much. I was having a hard time finding them

This build has been my primary build this league but I am hoping I can tweak it a bit for more end game DPS. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am also curious why Eye of Malice is important if I have cold exposure on my gloves. I appreciate any insight! I have about 8 divine to improve the build.

you've made most of the changes, hopefully it feels good. with oriath's end flask, you no longer need legacy of fury boots. mine is cheap (nothing crazy rolled), find something similar. we plan do "deal" scorch for our dps using exarch implicit. the QOL is better. also try out using death rush permanently instead of shaper ring, since dps is equal.

passive tree wise, i think it's great! you clearly know what works for you. so i would say the build is very well done and completed. (depending on what you plan to do for the game).

this build does not use EoM, we advocate for DD. builds that use EoM do it not for the exposure, but for the 50% increased resistances, which make negative resistances on mobs even more negative (thus a dps boost).

i can see you've followed a guide that suggests taking suppression, which is also what we recommend AGAINST (because we feel it's better not to have, unless you can get 100%), and we do not feel the need for 100% suppression.

i can see you are not a completely new player, so let me give you a few changes (first), that will significantly boost your dps.

1. buy DD, run the auras we suggest.
2. unspec eldritch battery, and all the suppression nodes on your skill tree. allocate them based on the guide, or take a look at my tree to have an idea of what gives best dps.
3. get a cowards legacy belt + watcher's eye jewel with not affected by vul when on determination
4. use death rush ring
5. run empowered instead of hypothermia. emp 4 preferable, but emp 3 is still a boost (and cheap, if you cant afford emp 4).
6. get a 2% mana reservation jewel, use it, and run defiance banner. (this is more for defensive, but still a important step in the build).

the above 6 changes should be "cheap", around 3-4d (excl emp 4 price). the below 2 suggestions are more expensive, and depends on what you can find in market.

7. find a chest that has a +1 to socketed, or +1 socketed/+2 duration, or +2 AOE/+2 duration. basically we want to boost CF/Vortex levels
8. get the frigid wake jewel pair

you're going to need to read the past few pages of the thread/forum posts to at least have an idea on how our build differs from maxroll/TPB

other suggestions:
connect the left part of your passive tree via bottom path (2sp), free up the connecting sp that goes via the top (3sp). allocate 1 sp for +50 max life mastery.

frigid wake jewel pair
oriath end flask
(getting the flask means you have the option to change away from legacy of fury boots, and the options will improve OQL - due to onslaught).

Thank you for the thorough explanation! I will get started on these!
