[3.23 Cold Conversion Blade Vortex Elementalist / Occultist (League Starter + League Finisher)
" Gem levels are always best, then power charges, then aura effect, then crit multi. Add phys to spell is not very useful at all. You could definitely get a +1 phys shield and see a large damage increase, and can probably afford a better weapon too. You still have three pieces of gear to get suppression on, so you should be fine there soon. |

Any good Invocation to use on your relic for this build? We can't see what's being used by POE ninja builds for relics can we? I guess Iron Will, Iron Reflexes, or Magebane.

" Magebane and Iron will for sure, Iron Reflexes I'm not 100% sold on because I don't know how badly losing the tiny bit of evasion we do get from going hybrid armour/evasion pieces for spell suppression sake would hurt. Vaal Pact is good for the Occultist since she lacks regen. Lethe Shade could probably be beneficial as well. I'm using Pain Attunement at the moment in my no-hit-sanctum loadout, and people have definitely found ways to make LL work with this build as a foundation, but I haven't explored them myself. |

I was wondering about your thoughts on Anomalous Hatred? It seems like divergent is kind of waste like you mention (unless farming chilled ground maps) and obviously the aoe on normal superior hatred is pretty useless if I'm playing solo, so would the extra freeze duration from anomalous be a good replacement?

" Definitely wouldn't hurt, but depends on the price. If it was as expensive as other alt-qualities I'd probably invest in those first, but if it's cheap and you feel like you occasionally aren't freezing beefy rares then it's worth it for sure. |

" Thanks.. already got the brittle boots. I also remove some passive skills from the left part to additional curse so I can use sins mark. |

This build absolutely rocks.
I am at the point, that i dont really know how to upgrade. Anyone can help? Char Sancsuhn On the side: Any reason why in POB you skill 5% Life/Energyshield and not Profane Chemistry through Impossible Escape? Last edited by Vasuhn#2939 on Jan 5, 2023, 7:35:45 PM

" I think a couple points got misplaced on that tree after the patch, but basically you'd need those points if you wanted to get to the spell suppression wheel for that last few percent, but otherwise Profane Chemistry is def better. |

Hey,
first of all thanks for the amazing guide. I was playing only minion builds up to this point but now I probably wont go back. It is a lot of fun to jump from pack to pack. I just hit T16 maps and start to run in some issues though. It seeems like my damage and therefore my survivability start to fall of. I am still an Elementalist and was wondering if someone of you can take a look and give me some hints what to do: Here is my PoB: https://pastebin.com/h450PJCZ My budget is really low. I think I lack some chaos res but apart from that I am not really sure where to go. I guess my crit chance is low but I do not know how to improve that. Cheers! |

" Glad to hear it! Your crit chance actually isn't as bad as you think, so long as you're applying brittle ground to the enemy. Check the very bottom of the notes section of the POB guide for tips on configurations. You're experiencing what a lot of people have run into, which I've come to call the "awkward teenage years" of the build, where you go from absolutely crushing everything without slowing down to suddenly feeling like there's an occasional challenge. I talk about the best ways to get through it in this video here: https://youtu.be/8Ney28z3T8Y?t=172 Overall it looks like you're in a good spot, and you'll be back to feeling overpowered before you know it. |
