[3.10] PoE Academy's Hiernaut Ice Nova/Frostbolt - Destroy the endgame
|
Hey Exiles,
PoE Academy here with a short written guide for a build I destroyed the atlas with lately! It can be used for any situation in the game but excells at bossing. Delete Awakener 8:  Delete Awk8 U-Elder:  If you don't want to read through everything by yourself, watch the extensive video guide with highlights, gameplay and many more:  Change-log
Spoiler
March20: Updated PoB to 3.10
April20: Added the video guide banner Pro's & con's + Insane boss damage + Can gain a lot from new 3.9 influenced mods + Unique and fresh playstyle + Very Versatile - Ranged chaos damage can be an issue - Requires level 86+ to feel really good - Feels weak without gear baseline What others say about this build

How is your build different from the other Hierophant and Guardian frostbolt/ice nova pledge of hands builds?

Thank you for posting this build. I’ve been following it through my first play through ever on Xbox and loving it. Currently on tier 8 Maps.
