Ascendancy - LL CoC Pyromancer Assassin

This build will be my secondary build in Ascendancy after that: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1593971

This is a CoC Barrage Build with full of "fire" spells.

well. im doing a CoC build but not with fire damage spell, but rather with physical damage spells like bladefall and EK with added fire damage, and will convert most of that damage to fire. same effect, but i think much better spells.

i'll be using quill rain so i can use blackgleam. as well as hatred/herald of ash and pyre ring. also taste of hate, so all of that added cold damage is transformed to fire.


this effectively allows me to not use Ambush but Toxic Delivery for 10% extra damage as added chaos. i don't see ambush doing too good with CoC. since your CoC is proc'd off a spell that doesn't matter, like barrage, your guaranteed crit and extra damage is applied to it and not your actual spells that are cast from that crit, since nothing will be full HP after you hit it with barrage.

now, in big packs, i guess your spells will hit them first...but trash clearing is not an issue with CoC...ANY CoC build i've ever seen, in fact. so you're really just wasting two passive points and the potency of ambush by running CoC. i don't see it being effective.

i've looked at it many ways, and i just see it better to cast physical damage spells so you can grab up toxic delivery, run damage auras (if you want) and if you really want you can still transform 70% of its damage to fire anyway

something like barrage, CoC, bladefall, EK, added fire, optional (glacial cascade/empower/LL/controlled destruction/fire pen)

I did a CoC Quill Ranger in Talisman. I think cold is better than fire with bows (if you know mechanics and passives well) Defensive stats are completely dodge+eva, standart ranger dodger. But the offense was fully "projectile damage" with those items:



I used firestorm on CoC combination but its not good because damage boost from "projectile" is not affected on firestorm. I didnt leveled an "Arctic Breath" or "Fireball" or any other "Projectile Spell" because it started as a standart "Ice Shot" build. But, it is OP. Rigwald's Quiver grants you free "Fork" so you are farming like a storm in maps. Try it with ranger trust me, Deadeye just insane with pierce damage boost.
