Templar - [3.24] Frostbolt/Ice Nova Hierophant | 100m DPS

So I'm trying to figure out what next steps to take. I think a 6 link PoH is the way to go, so I'm saving for that, but wondering if there is anything else I should do before that? PoB Link: https://pastebin.com/0VJKRNQ5 Any feedback would be appreciated.

Remove the frozen trail jewel. Ice nova only affects 2 frostbolts, no matter how many we have. Projectile damage doesnt matter for us, because we do damage with our ice novas, not our frostbolts. And the movementspeed actually reduces our dps on bosses, since your projectiles fly by the boss before they fired all their load.	Posted by Moethelion on Dec 24, 2019, 10:23:29 AM Quote this Post

I just updated the slides with a bunch of info about Ice Nova supports in 3.9, including relative DPS of Awakened supports and setups for ailment immune setups. I was pretty surprised (and annoyed) to find that the 100% ailment avoidance map mod also excludes chilled ground so there is literally no way to chill enemies in such maps. For this reason I now recommend using Cold Penetration Support instead of Hypothermia. You can find more elaborate gem swap setups in the slides. (You still lose damage in these maps but not as much. BTW, don't bother casting Cold Snap in these maps, it literall) I've been thinking more about this build and I want to try a setup with Farrul's Fur and boots with Tailwind on Crit. This setup will have more DPS and speed but slightly less defenses. The Tailwind mod is so insanely broken that I have to try to incorporate it. So Inspiration Support is out? Yeah, I no longer recommend Inspiration. I originally thought Inspiration would be good but later I accounted for not always being at 5 inspiration charges. It ends up slightly weaker than alternatives. (Its quality stat being useless doesn't help.) Inspiration has a slight defensive benefit since your mana costs get cut by almost half. Let's say you get cut to half mana by taking hits, if you keep casting spells, Inspiration reducing your mana costs helps you regen mana faster. May be worth considering if you're facing a tough boss where you run out of mana flask charges.

Hey guys. Just leveling up with this build. But I'm poor and noob so I will not be able to buy 6l Pledge for a while. Will I be able to do higher tier maps with only 5l and which gem should I skip then? Controlled Destruction?	Posted by mDrama on Dec 24, 2019, 10:32:16 AM Quote this Post

Alright, thanks. And another stupid question. Why do we use Controlled Destruction to begin with? I mean, we stack crit chance and crit multipliers and then use a gem that doesn't let our Ice Nova crit.	Posted by mDrama on Dec 24, 2019, 10:50:25 AM Quote this Post
I got a nice life gained on hit ring which was enough to make me switch out of soul tether: All Gear Liking it so far, although recently a Metamorph boss instagibbed me 3 times in a row:( " mDrama wrote: Alright, thanks.

A lot of crit builds use cd because it doesn't reduce the crit chance enough to make a difference, it's still a net positive.	Posted by vegeto079 on Dec 24, 2019, 1:16:33 PM Quote this Post

If you ditch Skyforth for the Tailwind boots, how do you deal with stuns?	Posted by Kurnis on Dec 24, 2019, 1:47:17 PM Quote this Post
Thanks for this build, absolutely loving it this league. A few questions though, whats the recommended 6 link for ice nova with awakened gems? And those of you that killed Sirus have you made any changes for the fight? Haven't tried the fight in a while but first attempts went horrible:) Is it still worth going for Glorious Vanity Timeless Jewel?	Posted by Intervation on Dec 24, 2019, 3:31:19 PM Quote this Post
