Currently running a hiero templar version(block + spell block) of the build on HCM and was perhaps thinking of swapping(simply for the vaal molten shell vs metamorph/scary stuff) but it's literly not possible to run this on HCM.
You would need 30 exalts+ for gear + a memory vault itself is already 40-50 exalt :( and that's without a watcher's eye(HC prices obviously, SC I don't think prices are that bad)

flask: 7-8 ex
armor: 5 exalt
chaluya: 5 ex
Those rare gloves and boots = $$$$$
watchers eye : $$$

While you can replace all those on a budget I don't think it's worth running if you don't have the memory vault ?
Currently running this PoB : https://pastebin.com/6RzCyhZP
You are suppose to run a glorious vanity in the top jewel slot for 20% extra ES based on life + other mods but too poor to afford one atm

I like my current build(expensive but not THAT expensive), but since metamorph HC is so scary I kinda miss vaal molten shell :(


Try to make a budget version(pledge + shavs + rares) if you plan on making the build a thing ^^


yeah this build is not (15+ ex) is 50ex+ I am trying to make a cheap version.
Any chance you could add some lower level passive allocations?
Not sure about wave of convition as described it gives -25% to rez of highes damage, mine shows highest is fire/lightning not cold

There is one in POB but inactive, nevermind.
For now i created this build (6L pledge + 5L shavrone) and i can say one thing:
Thanks for saving league for me, was getting borred after 4 build changes i feel happy to play again,
tanky,cheap, fun to play, doing a lot of dmg (not even leveled fully)
Could this be done as CI until you had the currency for low life? If so how would you go about it?
Thanks for the build I'm trying this out now.

One question on the 6L Frostbolt setup, while you're definitively not hurting for DPS, would a setup dropping the curse on hit and doing Frost Bomb be better on bosses and metamorphs? It does a double debuff of -25 resists (not scaled like curses on bosses) and 75% reduced life regen, a big deal for metamorphs.

4L Frostbolt > GMP > Arcane Surge > Faster Casting
2L CWDT(lvl1) > Frost Bomb || Frost Bomb > Increased Duration
I'd like to think people with 30ex to spare don't need build guides... There's a budget version of this build 'the perfect ice nova'

Neither this or budget are fast clear, it's not bad but not quick.

I found it annoying with metamorphs teleporting around as you need a bit of time to set up the frostbolt/icenova

Damage is immense though when it lands:)
Thanks for the guide!
