[3.21] ShakCentral's Cold DoT Elementalist For Everyone

had a look at the weapon talents it seems u can get Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 25 Arrogance this fixes the life reservation issue and it does free up a gem slot for something not aura related we will have less mana than before but so far its the same build as it was i think.


https://pastebin.com/dxHRDftF this is the version i have and will be useing change arrogance to a lvl 25 and its fixed more or less.


note convert it to current tree and set the main skill to trade wintertide unless ur solo self found ofc.

Last time i played this build was Vortex/Cold snap and Block/ES focused.

Is Creeping Frost necessary now? since i see it is used in most Vortex build. Since i prefer block/ES, how big are the difference in dps between Occu/Ele, and on the other side how more surivevable is Occu vs Ele?

As i remenber with glancing blow the build was like super tanky, is this still viable? or can an elementalist with spell supression/evasion compete in any form with a block/es build?
Can someone explain why Legacy of Fury are recommended for boots?
How you deal with Freeze and other ailments as elementalist? I don't see any mitigation.

They don't, because the ele cold dot is a bait.
its not a bait if u use the occultist lowlife version ur stun/freeze immune and very tanky + decent dmg.

EDIT:


@@@ I MADE A WHOOPSIE IN THE POST EARLIER, REFER TO STEP 3!!@@@@@
I wrote the post 9am in the morning while being a bit tired and confused ppl with the multimod, you in fact do not need to multimod the amulet, you simply want to craft cannot roll attack mods on the open suffix to make sure the amulet has 3 suffixes before you harvest craft "add remove" which adds and THEN removes a mod, aka since you have 3 suffixes will always add a prefix, and since a suffix blocks attack mods, will always add a +1 of desired element as you blocked the adds x to x to attack skills. be weary though there is a 33% chance to fail and 66% chance of success. luckily the failstate simply requires to altspam for +1 all again, which can be tedious but isn't breaking bank, as alterations are cheap as always.

he said cold dot ele, cold dot occultist inherently gains chill & freeze immunity due to Frigid Wake, and can spec Arakaali for 10% less Dot Damage taken, or even Solaris in mapping making you a lot tankier vs phys hits. That being said there are some questionable decisions such as using frostbomb instead of just using any of the hundreds of lesser ichors you're gonna loot once you hit altars in T14's and above, cold exposure on hit is far better than apo gloves and not at all hard to farm/grind. in addition to that, by using exarch/eater implicits on gloves it allows you to add another 6% dot multi with searing exarch embers (the lowest tier gives 5 or 6% i cant remembeer exactly ontop of my head how much).

the boots decision is a funny one because I do agree it gives a lot of map clear since the "pops" you get from Legacy of Fury do counts as hits and as elementalist do 15% more dmg because of shock (Shaper of Storms). There is a MUCH MUCH better and cheaper approach though.

do your regular atlas prog, once you have 3-4 divines dont waste them on legacy of fury (once ppl get to farming maven for woke gems those boots will crash hard in price, and they most likely will be hella expensive the first 5-6 days because of the popularity of Pohx's RF Jugg build which greatly benefits from the boots in terms of clear on jugg that struggles a bit on scaling dps after initial first 85+ levels (skill points beyond speccing Breath of Flames and grabbing the minion cluster just north of Sovereignty will greatly bump your initial dps):


Step 1:
once you have 4 divines, get about 1500 alterations and get your fingers on any dot multi fractured amulet, spam alterations until you hit +1 all,

Step 2:
regal and pray to god that you hit a suffix, if not Yolo annul and pray you dont annul +1 all.

If Step2 is successfull, go to Step3, else scour rinse and repeat step 1:

Step 3:
at this stage you have a +1 amulet with fractured dot multi (lets say 15% since high tier dot multi is going to cost a fortune early on) which is rare quality (IMPORTANT!). Now you craft cannot roll attack modifiers.

Step 4:
Harvest add cold remove x and since you only have 1 open prefix you are guaranteed to hit the only availible cold tag which is +1 cold skill gems. the reason why you won't hit adds x to x cold spell skills is since it has an attack tag, it won't be allocated due to craft restrictions imposed by bench craft cannot roll attack mods.

step 5:
either settle by crafting life and maybe exaltslamming later on or be risky and block prefixes + yolo veiled chaos orb.

WARNING: this does risk the items being 6 mod, or worse yet, hit a prefix which means that life is a risk of not being applied, you might be forced to pick some shitty prefix as your 3rd prefix and then you don't have the ability to benchcraft 55 life..

the ultra safe but a bit more expensive approach is to benchcraft multimod and prefixes cannot be changed, and a random prefix, this item is now a 6 mod item techinically but since we have prefixes cannot be changed, an Aisling annul exalt veiled slam will now guaranteed hit a suffix and since DoT multi is fractured, we can only remove either multimod or block prefixes. once you aisling slam you can remove crafted mods with 3 scours on the bench craft ( DO NOT SCOUR THE ITEM) and craft dual stat ( str + dex for instance ) if you dont want multistat, this gives you an extremely high chance of hitting either increased effect of non-dmg ailments ( which both benefit scorch from legacy of fury later on, elevating the dps boost from your future upgrade, or a hybrid x and chaos % res roll, which is also insanely good for an amulet suffix.

eitheer way this is a far better investment since this amulet will essentially carry your build all the way through the league, except if you wanna do some aura shenanigans and run multiple mana reservation clusters and an ashes of the stars ( but that is just speculation, you do you ).


TL;DR dont waste money on legacy of fury early on, your money is much better spent on other longterm investments that won't completely crash in value.

if you want to make a +1+1 weapon with high dot multi ( can be insanely good, but won't allow you to use obliteration for clear if you wish to have explode "pops" ) watch SpicySushi's guide on how to craft a really good late game scaling weapon . this is a leaguestarter guild so maybe dont start with the weapon since it technically can "brick" by the same approach as the amulet as it might roll over the +1 all spell skill gems on the weapon that you probably will spend over 2k alterations to hit ).

First time playing Cold Dot - in A4 now it's been smooth as ice.

Following your tree but using Ziz's gems since I hate mines.
soo in the current PoB the notes section for skill gems doesnt have the leveling for them attached and the drop down menu in the skills section is not populated except for one skill set :)
How well does this build do VS "raid boss" essense and metamorphs?
