[3.5] CheeQu's CoC Ice Nova Assassin - Up to 7m Shaper DPS + Amazing Clearspeed [In-Depth Guide]

How will the increased Cyclone AOE affect the build? Wouldn't it be a problem if Cyclone AOE is bigger than Ice Nova radius? Also, the physical attack boost from new cyclone seems pretty big but will be useless for this build right?
Leveling with CwC should also be a good option until we have enough crit. | |
" Yes you can, there is a leveling section that is pretty good at explaining how to get there. I started with this in Synthesis and in the Flashback event. It starts off strong, slows down a bit in the 50s and picks up again late 70s/80s when you get some of the required uniques. Getting the Labs done as early as you can is really important for this. Here is my current PoB for 3.7 if you want an updated version, includes Leveling Trees: https://pastebin.com/WCS9DdCK (Gear is from Synthesis Flashback but will be roughly the same for early game) " 20/20 Nova with a regular tree for this build had an AoE Radius of 40 where Cyclone had 21. With the new changes the radius of the two will be much closer together. You won't have to get quite as close to enemies anymore than you had to before. " Yes the damage changes from cyclone are irrelevant for this build. " An option yes but it's not gonna feel super great, CWC is much slower than CoC, you only get 2.5 nova's per second instead of the juicy 7.5 Последняя редакция: SerenadeRaika#4500.

" There is also Tempered mind which gives 1500 accuracy above witch start next to the power charge node. It's on the regular path so all we lose is a jewel slot. Dunno if it's worth it though. | |
" after patch notes, it seems the only change is how the speed on cyclone works. Will be interesting to see how it effects hitting those higher breakpoints. |

The nerfs to Cyclone(basically increased area), are going to make this build a clearspeed dream imho.
Anyone noticed how close Wicked Ward is now? OccuAssassin maybe? Ed: What about something like this instead of Lycosidae ?  Последняя редакция: ArisFuser#6403. Время: 6 июня 2019 г., 2:28:57

What is the conclusion about the attack speed breakpoints after the cyclone change? Are we still aiming for 3 or 3.75 attacks per second on cyclone?
|

Since the new cyclone is taking 300% of the base attack speed, I would think with Cospri's and Starkonja's alone your getting close to the 3.7 to 3.75 APS. I'm going to wait for the new tree and plug it in POB.

" " They said that the new % of base equals out to exactly the same as the former "More Attack Speed" values. Discord also seemed to agree with that notion. Like i mentioned earlier in this thread Cyclone will no longer hit twice by default but instead be based on the weapon. Ill re-quote my original assessment (which seems to hold up from all we know so far) " On another note we now have another nice little cluster available for this build:  The damage is not really relevant but we get 5% Speed, -3 Mana cost and 40% Stun avoidance from this, so if anyone has mana issues or gets stunned a lot or wants to get closer to speed numbers this is not bad to pick up for 3 points.

i get that cyclone dont naturally hit twice now cause of the changes, but for what attacks per second number are we going now?
i am still a bit confused is it still the 3 APS or slower like in the guide or something different? thanks in advance :) |
|
" The number you need to aim for is still 6.06 APS or 7.57 APS with 14% CDR. Those are CoC's numbers as written in the spoiler section, and those have not changed at all. I can't say for sure how exactly PoB is gonna display the attack rate for the new cyclone, my guess is that it will most likely show 6 APS instead of 3 APS for this build but functionally be identical. |
