[3.9] Gryph's CI Vortex + Coldsnap Trickster || Uber Elder+Everything Else
" Aspect of the spider is a significant dps increase, especially where the build needs it - bosses with high HP pools. You do not need to get it on a GG pair of gloves to link in enlightment. I run enlightment 3 on disc and maleveolance in gloves, and have aspect on a ring. Reserve Aspect, Disc, Malev, and lvl 1 clarity and have more than enough mana to us all skills on CD. You can get mana reserve redux on tree and a cheap disc or malev reservation redux helm enchant. |
|
" You can craft Aspect of the Spider on anything with an open suffix. The craft costs about 25c. Also, Aspect of the Spider can't be supported by Enlighten. Последняя редакция: Jaba01#0670. Время: 3 янв. 2020 г., 19:54:17

you can also use a malevolence helm enchant+lv 4 enlighten to use both spider and flesh and stone if you want, its what i currently opt for to do 600 delve. For an even more gg option you could get 5% mana reduced on helm with the -9 cold res delve helm, with vortex enchant,
btw OP have you tried a build with thread of hope? with a large range it can reach the top two cold damage notables and saves around 15-20 points depending on what you opt for, my current tree uses that for 60 aoe and block/spell block, but idk if its optimal Последняя редакция: Arcaniusu#3629.

Thanks for this guide Gryph and this has been fun to play with.
Im still very noob at crafting, can anyone advise on what I do with this weapon? |

One crafting question for this build. I invested into this amulet. How would you finish this please??
As I am begginer to crafting I see 3 posibilites: 1. Ex slam it and prey for luck. 2. Multimod and craft back +%Increased Energy Shield and +%Cold damage 3. Craft "keep prefixes" and ex slam it with anulments?(this is for me total unknown area) Edited: Looked on a new exalts and I probably will EX slam it with 2 new hunter exalted orbs, there is a chance for Malevolence reduced reservation and Cold dmg multiplier. If I multimoded - cold dmg gives me like 1% of total dmg, and only usable is all resistances. So slaming new orbs looks best to me. Последняя редакция: K3iVi#7752. Время: 4 янв. 2020 г., 14:18:19

" yep i didnt play beastiary hard i figured out im a dummy and just bought the beast and slapped em on what I had |
|
" Well, you can't use new orbs on an influenced item so... I would multimod for resists if I need it, or give myself that option for later. Can also use that for aspect of the spider and slam a suffix. |

I'm planning to start a cold dot vortex char but after reading into occultist and trickster versions for quite a while I still can't decide which to go for.
I feel trickster provides much better defense layers why I prefer it. However, everybody seems to be using atziri's reflection which I won't have. I wonder if in that case it would be better to go with occu + shav's LL version as it's actually obtainable for me. Also, 90% of vortex chars on poe.ninja are occultists. I'm sure there's a reason for that, right? Thanks for input! |

" Occultist is just more popular in general. I prefer CI for chaos immunity and the extra defensive layers are quite nice. That said I haven't actually played this since 3.7 xD Having too much fun on my VD necro build. :P In general Trickster will be more defensive and has some nice QoL bonuses. Reflection is great and is something you can work towards. Up to you though, both are very strong. |

Thank you for this guide!
Just some short information for the result on me. i am a total casual player, missed the last 2 leagues in poe. played vortex build once, and i like the style of your build to decide to try it again. success for me in poe until now, the 4 guardians and normal elder. casual player for sure! so i was wondering if i could do more. i worked on my gear for a week, got to lvl 93. my gear is not perfect, but i think its already better than mediacore, so i tried sirus awaken level 0. 3 deaths, i beat him! very nice! i never thought that i would do that in poe ever, clear the endgame content. so thanks a lot for the build, it does something good! now i can go on to clear the other stuff. p.s. little note at the edge...delivered divination cards for 5x random currency...and wow...got 5ex :-).
