[3.5] CheeQu's CoC Ice Nova Assassin - Up to 7m Shaper DPS + Amazing Clearspeed [In-Depth Guide]
" Do not play this build as an occultist. You literally can only play this build as an assassin or as a scion. Every other ascendancy requires a stupid amount of investment to just make them passable. This is because cospri's malice has a base crit chance of 5.5% which is almost impossible to reach high numberd with without the base crit on assassin. |
|
" Just use a tabula until you can afford loreweave. Loreweave is by far the best defensive option for this build. And you do not need damage from your chest slot. |
|
|
I think you could do it with occultist and be extremely tanky, but you would really want a watcher's eye with hatred base crit boost.
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Synthesis/k4YE6I5 It is going to be much more expensive to gear than assassin, particularly in the current meta. |

" Here is my pastebin https://pastebin.com/NXFiG5mq I took my char and my gear and upped it to level 93 (and added Mark of the shaper) and the effective crit is actually a little higher than yours. I have 800 more ehp and my Ice nova damage is much higher (against Shaper). I'm also NOT using a watcher's eye yet, whereas you are. Please help me understand what is so bad about occultist? I know it's slower...god I envy that movespeed ascendancy and you can use devoto's. But it doesn't seem too bad. Really just looking for feedback. thank you :) Last edited by Kurnis#0620 on Mar 18, 2019, 2:07:58 PM

Problem of the build . MELEE
In uber elder and hydra i don't understand a damn with all the ice nova thing and cyclone is very hard to handle.If you plan to farm endgame without rips this aint the build |
|
" Is it a computer issue on your end? |

I've been finding it reasonably resilient, actually. I should be hit 95 today or tomorrow. I've only died to syndicate once, on a t15 with extremely rippy mods. I did all of the guardians deathless yesterday. I did shaper yesterday with one death, mostly because I was stupid and stood in the beam after the bullet hell phase.
I mean, it isn't a HoWA jugg or anything, but I would say survivability is higher than average. With reasonable life leech, 100% fortify, enfeeble aura, blind on hit, freezing, potentially acro/phase acro (I use it), and in my case a lot of consecrated ground with effect linger, things feel pretty good. I still need to nab a loreweave too, and then maybe think about balancing resists. Last edited by FilthyMonkey#0591 on Mar 18, 2019, 2:41:20 PM

Just wanted to chime in to say that I've been playing this build and just killed uber elder over the weekend. Absolutely love it. I'm running Discipline and Enfeeble with Enlighten so I can fit in Herald of Ice to improve clear speed. I also run Mind Drinker for the mana leech and sacrifice 2 life nodes on the Scion wheel. All in all the build feels amazing and I'm considering going for the Might of the Meek upgrade.

How important/not important are things like vaal cyclone and vaal ice nova?
|
|
|
Not important at all. CoC can't use vaal skills anyway. It won't hurt if you have a vaal gem, but it won't help either. Vaal ice novas are often cheaper, weirdly.
" Nice. I hope to repeat your accomplishment sometime in this next week. I like your white socket loreweave too. Good for swapping things in and out. One thing I really suggest is getting a frozen trail with a 'fuck corrupted blood' implicit. Last edited by FilthyMonkey#0591 on Mar 18, 2019, 3:31:44 PM
