[3.23] CoC Ice Nova Build | Saboteur | Affliction | Path of Exile 3.23

Hey guys, cast on crit ice nova saboteur build is here. Trying the new saboteur ascendancy nodes. 30% inc cooldown recovery rate is pretty good on budget but I still like occultist better for this setup. I also tried triggerbots but they don't work well with frostbolt/ice nova setup.

Gear:




Gem Setup:

Cyclone (Divergent) - Cast On Critical Strike (Awakened) - Ice Nova - Inspiration (Divergent) - Increased Critical Strikes - Added Cold Damage (Awakened)

Vortex - Unbound Ailments - Bonechill (Divergent) - Vaal Discipline

Immortal Call (Lvl 1) - Cast when Damage Taken (Lvl 10) / Precision / Flame Dash

Assassin's Mark - Mark on Hit / Herald of Ice / Summon Skitterbots

Prism Guardian:
Vaal Grace / Hatred / Zealotry

Cospri's Malice:
Frostbolt (Phantasmal) - Greater Multiple Projectiles (Anomalous) - Ice Nova

is it just me or is the trigger rate on Ice Nova wonky at the moment? it's been my experience that equipping ice nova (normal or anomalous) in both the 6 link and the cospri causes both gems to trigger at the cospri rate rather than independently of one another. replacing one ice nova with another skill in either gem slot alleviates the issue and the skill gem in the 6 link will fire off at the 52% CDR rate.

How do You generate power charges? Only with Assasin's Mark on rare/unique kill?
Isn't it unefficient AF?

Is there a way you are avoiding freezes? This is pretty much the only way my character is currently dying with this build

How do you avoid bleeding, poison and freezing ?

Thx for the build enjoying my coc again

Dont follow this build. It is useless. no defenses, no way to get power charges up, says to get mana reduction items when not even enlighten has been used.

complete click bait.
