[3.5] CheeQu's CoC Ice Nova Assassin - Up to 7m Shaper DPS + Amazing Clearspeed [In-Depth Guide]

Nice and detailed guide but I have to say this after being frustrated so much. Thankfully I've already done 37 challenges before quitting the league, the mana issues of this build made me unable to continue playing PoE Betrayal. Yes, I've read the mana tips part.

" Run a Warlord's Mark on Hit curse ring and all your mana issues with disappear :) Or some +2 Mana on Hit ring/jewels. | |
" The problem with that idea is the APS cap... if you push your APS beyond the cap, you'll lose Ice Nova casts at a higher rate than you'll gain them until you get up near double the APS cap. EDIT: At least if you're using Cyclone (due to crit snapshotting) - on Blade Flurry it might be workable around certain half breakpoints or something, but that's a lot of math to get through to be sure :P Last edited by vector84 on Jan 14, 2019, 3:47:02 PM

" Instead of taking mana reservation nodes, you may consider getting a starkonja with discipline or vitality mana reserved reduced. This would allow you to use the extra points which may give you more bang for buck than 40% ice nova damage. Also, crits for cyclone kinda suck - as they are determined once per attack - not per hit (as opposed to blade flurry, for example). As a result, I'm not sure I could ever justify running cyclone without a diamond, because even if crit capped you have a 5% chance of missing crit on BOTH of your first two hits. By contrast, the chance of missing crit on BOTH of your first two hits with BF is about 0.01% if you're crit capped without diamond. | |

Hey i just wanted to ask real quick how we calculate dps with this build. I have 310k dmg per crit on my 6l with 3.8 aps on cyclone. Am i right in assuming ill get 7.6 crits per second since cyclone hits twice and therefore my dps would be 310k*7.6 ?

" Main Ice Nova: Ice Nova Damage (XXXXXX) x 2 (Frostbolt interaction) x 7.4 (Hits per sec) x 0.CC (Crit Chance) = XXXXXXXXX DPS Cospri Ice Nova: [ Ice Nova Damage (XXXXX) x 2 (Frostbolt interaction) x 7.4 x 0.CC ] / 2 (Cospri procs alternate between Frostbolt and Ice Nova) = XXXXXXXXX DPS Cospri Frostbolt: [ Frostbolt Damage (XXXXX) x 7.4 x 0.CC ] / 2 = XXXXXX DPS Cyclone: Damage (XXXXX) x 7.4 = XXXXX DPS Combined: Main Ice + Cospri Ice + Cospri Frostbolt + Cyclone + Vortex = XXXXXXXXX DPS Including shock from rare ring (if you have that): Combined x 1.2 = XXXXXXXXX DPS Including Culling Strike: (Combined total OR Shock total) x 1.11 = XXXXXXXXX DPS Last edited by LordAzuRa on Jan 14, 2019, 4:34:33 PM

" Resolute Technique makes it so you CANNOT Crit. Yes, it's now a Cospri worth Vendoring for a few wisdom scroll fragments. | |
" https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/ab2g9n/updated_cyclone_coc_discharge_proc_rate_now_with/?st=jqwuee8a&sh=8dcfc179 If you're actually at 3.8 APS, you're over the APS cap by the worst possible amount - 3.8 APS does about half the DPS of 3.7 APS, so for DPS on a single target divide the Ice Nova from Chest DPS contribution number by 2 due to missing half your casts. EDIT: Cospri's using two spells won't be effected by this though, so it's just the Chest CoC that suffers. Last edited by vector84 on Jan 14, 2019, 4:48:48 PM

Hi guys,
Can i utilize Unnatural instinct + might of the meek with this build? also have an HH i can use. Also what sorta delve can this build handle? Mostly interested in this as a bosskiller/safe/fast mapper Last edited by Jihax on Jan 14, 2019, 4:42:31 PM
