[3.0] Windz's "Choose your own CoC Adventure" DW CoC Cospris PF



Disclaimer:

Wanted to try out dual wield cospris malice instead of lycosidae/esh mirror

Fun and fast mapper BUT not that great single target


INTRODUCTION



Wanted to make a dual-wield cospris work because I have never tried it in the past. Can't say this is better than lyscosidae but with enough accuracy, you can add another spell to your kit.

I have 2 variants I enjoy but you are more than welcome to make your own variation.

How does this build work?



Cospris have a 250ms (0.25s) cooldown meaning up to 4 procs per sec.
Same skills in both cospris will share cooldown, however different spells have their own cooldown.

Example using cyclone and assuming max procs:

Freezing pulse in mainhand (MH) and offhand (OH) will only give you 4 procs/sec

Freezing pulse in MH and Glacial cascade will give you 8 procs/sec

Cast on crit have a 500ms (0.5s) cooldown meaning 2 procs per sec.
The spells are casted in the order they are linked top to bottom and each skill have their own cooldown (unlike CWC which will cast spells in order every .35sec)
More spells you add into CoC, more procs/sec if you can hit fast enough

Example using cyclone and assuming max procs:

Only using spell A = 2 procs/sec
Using spell A + spell B = 4 proc/sec
spell A + spell B + spell C = 6 proc/sec

*note more you add, more attack/sec you require to be efficient*
I only add 2 spells because of support gems but you can get creative

Personal Skill Tier List



Tier 1:

Freezing pulse

Pro: Almost instant hit

Con: Doesn't travel far without proj speed investment

Frost bolt

Pro: Travels 1500 unit no matter the speed

Con: Slower than FP

GC

Pro: Good single target dps

Con: Needs conc effect so not great AoE

Tier 2:

Ice nova

Pro: Good crit chance% + AoE

Con: Weaker than vortex

Vortex

Pro: Chill ground and single target dps

Con: Small AoE + less crit%


SKILL TREE



These are my variant that I ended up with testing many various skills.
I have given the tools and concept how the build works so feel free to mix and match your own skills.

BANDIT



Alira

Pantheon



Mapping: Lunaris/Arakaali + Yogrul

Thoughts:
Lunaris gives us movement speed (clear speed) + phys reduction.
Arakaali helps us with degens, esp the chaos res vs chaos degene (strongbox/zombies/bameth/desecrated ground)
Yogrul helps with ele reflect which is a problem in -max res maps

GEAR




Frostbolt








Non-discharge





*Note the assassins mark in CoH*

Use dps amulet for bosses if you wish like:




Discharge



*Note the poachers mark in CoH*



Flasks:



*Can use atziri's promise instead of Vinktars on either variant*
*If you want to use another flask, drop jade (lose ms) or dying sun (lose fire res/aoe/proj)

Jewels:

Must: any threshold jewels for the skill of choice
Eg.

2x First snow for FP

Priority:

Life%
Crit multi (global, ele, cold, dual wielding)

Utility stats:

Proj/area damage
Evasion
Crit chance/acc
Proj speed
Res

Aim for life + 2 dps unless you want the bonus mods

EK nova

Rush the jewel socket next to vaal pact (skip the projectiles and get the 2 dex nodes) to socket Ring of Blades.
Use BV for boss kills.

I used a 4 link GC + echo + conc + crit for bosses

You can change to cospris once you can equip them/gems.

FAQ



Why dual wield over shield?

Just for fun tbh. With enough accuracy the additional cospri spell proc feels satisfying

Tips & Tricks



Since we dont have really have mana sustain outside of the boot enchant, try to save some blue packs in boss room to kill once your "killed recently" leech enchant wears off or flasks. Kill the pack then come back to the boss.

Yeah it can but not the greatest single target. Prob have to use non biscos amulet for pandemonius
Love the build so far! It's still tough on the health pool atm, but doable, since everything dies instantly. Bosses are definitely something else though, but that's what I got my miner for anyways.

It's a refreshing build to play for sure! Great write-up by the way!
3.1 Update?

This looks very well made, detailed as well. Thank you!

Just a small note.. You didn't post the Vortex Variant gem setup.
Would appreciate that one :)
