I'm doing the basic crit build with opus, really enjoying it so far, thanks.

Do you think the cluster jewel combo of cold conduction+stormrider is worthwhile? It seems the best option would be disorienting display/vengeful commander/stormrider/2 sockets and medium with eye of the storm /cold conduction/jewel socket.

And any potential for a second cluster jewel setup to replace lioneye's fall, especially given redundant blind from disorienting display?


From the OP, these were the ones I liked the look of, otherwise HP ones

3.10 Changes
I've listed these as I haven't got the jewels yet to test:
New Passives: Arcing Shot looks to be amazing and can by the looks of it replace Point Blank, with upto 100% increased crit chance at max distance and upto 50% increased damage with hits
Pressure Points: Crit Strikes have 5% chance to deal double damage and 40% inc crit chance
No Witnesses: 10% chance to gain Elusive on Kill
Untouchable: 30% Increased Evasion, 3% Dodge on Spell and Attack
I make odd builds and sometimes write guides.

Addendum:

Maybe a 4L Ice Shot and 6L Barrage?

Also, is there a reason why we use Immortal call over Steekskin?


It's personal preference, you can use either. I just found IC better at Delve 500+

Thoughts on nuros harp? I have a 6L that dropped for me (I'm on Xbox) figured I could you around with it with an ice shot build or maybe some cold to fire dmg build.


Sadly Nuro's Harp isn't as good as Opus (even post nerf) due to the lack of arrows, it has the same base crit. Chilled grounds not too useful (Taming procs on Frozen, although it does get 5% increase from Yoke)

If the bow had say 9% crit chance instead of 7.5% I'd say it'd be a good budget alternative till you got a watchers eye with hatred crit mod.

Ice Shot already has 60% conversion (100% with two nodes) so phys bows convert easy enough. Sure you save 2 nodes but they're 2 really good nodes.

Maybe a barrage or Tornado Shot setup could be viable, I'd have to test it as every Nuro's I pickup I vendor.

Sorry I can't be more helpful

Hey guys and thanks for this nice buildguide.
I will pronably start with iceshot next league.

One thing I noticed is that the formation of the guide seems broken so that it is hard to read. Is there any chance in fixing the layout so it is better to read.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Yeah no worries man, I didn't get a chance to tidy it up before, so when the patch notes drop I'll be redoing it all

I tried your build in league 3.9. I love it. But killing boss was really hard XD.

I intend to league start with your build in Harvest so I come back.
I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, I hope you get better and be able to play PoE again next league.

Thank you.

Thanks for the kind words bud, I'm all good now, been reading through the changes, even had a think about RoTC but I still think it's shit, (Give us back the pre 2.4.0 version GGG that's all we want)

So the big one I realised I missed through the guide is emphasising or over-emphasising how important base crit is. For example I'd say it's better to have a pair of Locthonial Caress's with "Attacks have +(0.5–0.8)% to Critical Strike Chance " implicit than some decent rares, as that 0.8% crit strike can scale so stupidly it frees up points for cluster jewels and/or life.

The big difference between mine and Aqualism's (which I highly recommend as an alternative guide, ours only differs in the minutia) is that I aim for a 100% crit rate without Diamond Flask and only use DF for a better Crit Multi roll due to it rolling twice.

The biggest change so far from the sneak peaks is Ungil's Harmony is gonna be banging for HoI procs

Shit man just saw that, I wonder if it was because of my build or the old Magma Orb one they did that for lol

Whilst is has been nerfed quite heavily, the +1 Chain is still a 10% more multiplier from Ricochet so for earlier on when going to full crit or getting upto Yoke I'll probs still use it

Look like they add a new Chain wheel, also named Ricochet, locating above the King of the Hill wheel. Check it out if you haven't.
