Thank you for all the suggestions. At the moment I'm using the build proposed by leary93 and curse + Herald of Thunder are doing really great job with packs of mobs. With this build my dps has increased from 9300 to 17100 and this is just amazing! I was so excited that I decided to risk Atziri but my enthusiasm has dampened fast when I encountered the first boss - Vessel of the Vaal. I'm sure this is not Aztiri build but works perfectly good for exping.
I've realized that in contrast to the presented builds I still am few points short for this lvl on the Passive Tree.

great to hear. for atziri, you really need vaal pact with freeze pulse to do it, due to FP its nature.

17k tooltip sounds really nice :D

For now I use these gems in my chest


I left Faster Projectiles because projectiles of Freezing Pulse have much wider range and I believe that this skill is more effectively chilling the enemies and speed is incredible. With those gems I have 17100 dps. If I changed Faster Projectiles to Added Cold Damage dps would be 19900 (I use GMP and that would give almost 100k) but I think that Faster Projectiles is much more effective when it comes to Freezing Pulse than Added Cold Damage or even Cold Penetration.
I only wonder why on this lvl I don't have that many points to distribute in Passive Tree as the builds' suggest.

One thing to know when going vs Vaal vessels is that when you kill one the other goes berserk so you should dps them both down equally.

Also id swap in Cold Penetration instead of Faster Projectiles for boss fights at least as it's a huge dps boost.

Just for example:

Cold penetration = -35% enemy cold resists
Which brings a capped boss from 75% cold resist (takes only 25% of your damage) to 40% cold resist (takes 60% of your damage).
This is an increase of over 100% more damage done to the enemy.

And unlike curses, penetration always will reduce the enemy resists (curses are less effective versus bosses and if the boss has 125% resist to an element it is pretty much useless while even if boss had 500% cold resist it would cap to 75% then reduced to 40% by cold penetration).

So you could potentially more than double your damage dealt to enemies even if it won't show on the tooltip.

on the passive tree, maybe you are looking over some points? I left 17 points just like your first linked tree did. On the FP, I think its fine for normal mapping. More reach = better clear speed. Same for pcoc, you can swap it during boss fights, for better boss fighting

Your gem setup is not really good imo.
Remove faster proj and put cold pen(huge dps upgrade but not one the tool type), quality fp, and if you can the proj speed nod of the shadow it's enought if you have more dmg your fp will do more dmg at high range
Remove power charge on crit and put crit multi, you already have a 4l ice spear wich is useless ATM , link ice spear power charge on crit , faster cast gmp.

You will get your charge with ur curse or ice spear.
Get a shield with 80%+ crit spell, you can have less spell dmg than yours but get some crit.


Maybe try to play with a good rare amulet and the witch nod avoid stun when you cast+stun recovery pot,


ATM your dmg is low because you don't have enought crit mult

Due to the implementation of Patch 1.3, I'm yet again facing low DPS problem. With the previous Patch, using build proposed by leary93, my DPS was almost 17k. Currently it has decreased by a few thousands and Mana Regeneration is insufficient.

My actual Passive Tree:


My actual gear:

Anyone?
