[3.7] [Updated] Cold Scourge Arrow CI Trickster - Very simple and tanky

"

Infused Channeling provides comparable DPS but also 9% physical damage reduction while channeling, what is very nice

is this still true? or would it be rather 9% cold damage reduction , or even chaos? (because of chaos tag). Not sure how the change to infused will play out

Have you considered adding Wicked Ward to the build? Seems like a very viable option for just 2 points.

Oh right. Yeah that is no longer true, it will provide just chaos damage reduction, what is worthless for us because of CI.

This build depends on leech more than on recharge, and WW reduces leech by 50%, so it is not really good.

Small update:

- Cleaned up the build guide
- Added Ascendancy section
- Updated Patheon section
- Removed Infused Channeling from alternative gem sections
- Removed Main Gem section (it is in PoB already anyway)

In future I will probably move the Alternatives section into alternative item/gem sets inside PoB so it will be all in one place and navigable.

i know it is tempting and probably a hassle to maintain two points of truth but .. i encourage you to have both.

ofcourse i can speak only for myself but i love to be able to gather a lot of information about a build without going into PoB. Usually i only use PoB in the very late game when i aquire everything and want to compare dps.

the more infos are outside of your post (which is the point of entry for all?) the less convenient it is to follow your guide (imho)

[edit]
to add to this: i often research builds when i am not at my computer , so PoB is not always an option.

P.s.:
at that note i would love to see some items in the forum as your character is currently naked (- ;

I saw a few replies up (and via your passive tree) that you rely on leech as opposed to ES recharge. Does the build mostly apply if you want to make a few changes for recharge? I would assume you just switch passives appropriately and use a Soul Strike quiver and Wicked Ward on the tree. Do you think this build could adapt to that reasonably?

You would also need to remove Blood Rage, but otherwise it will work yeah.

I did notice that the Pierce on Voidfletcher looks to be pretty important, I'd lose that if I used Soul Strike. Not sure if it's worth using the Pierce gem or sinking a few points into the Pierce node on the tree.

Hi, can i check why is shaper touch a must have?.. please enlighten a noob here. isn't a glove with ES/ cold atk better?

Its because it gives nice amount of ES but most importantly because it solves the accuracy issue with the build (gives us a lot of accuracy from int).
