[3.24] Frostbolt/Ice Nova Hierophant | 100m DPS | All Content

Interesting helmet, thanks for sharing the idea.

If you plug in 50% increased spell damage + 25% increased cast speed to the finished PoB, we gain 14% dps. The current helmet grants 10% dps from the eldritch implicits and +2 zealotry.

So we would lose: life, phys taken as fire, and 2 net suffixes (really 3 suffixes since we don't need the strength assuming we are using Mageblood).

We would gain: 4% net dps, 10% movespeed, and potentially a corruption implicit.

Overall this would not be worth it. Unless I'm overlooking some rage scaling mechanics.

Thanks for sharing the build! I'm liking the damage output so far! However, I'm having an issue with survivability. After getting aspect of the cat and lessen duration, gotta lil more tanky but still feeling like I'm getting stun and blasted

Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve survivability?

I checked your PoB briefly, seems like you aren't res capped and have a weird flask setup? I would fix the res, grab a Rumi's Concoction, and then work on replacing leveling gear and increasing damage. For getting stunned, it's mostly just Brine King pantheon early on. This build doesn't have much sustained survivability, so I would focus on increasing damage and freezing/killing enemies before they hit you. Awakened added cold lv5 is a quick +1 skill level. I would replace empower with increased critical strikes for now. Then use PoB to search for some base jewels.

The two things missing from consideration on ravenous passion are that it is quite cheap and thus a very good mid game helmet and the ability to run berserk for 20% less damage taken and 30% more movement speed. Non-archmage versions will have significantly lower uptime on berserk because they cannot generate as much rage per second but archmage versions can sustain berserk until it drains your entire rage bar in less than a second due to how ravenous passion rage generation works, its probably not worth it on an nonarchmage set up but running archmage I went from mindspiral which is an amazing cheap defensive helm to ravenous passion and loosing the passive defenses from mindspiral hurt but I'm actually slightly tankier vs enemies that I remember to pop berserk for and it was a big damage spike.

Ah I missed that Berserk exists. I agree with your points, definitely seems very strong especially for the price, given that you're willing to play around Berserk.

I added a grave crafting method for rings to the PoB. Putting it here as well for convenience.

Premium Ring 2 (life, high mana, cast speed, chaos res, all res):
3.24 GRAVE CRAFTING METHOD
- Cost: <10 div to craft multiple rings
- Desired outcome:
P1: T1 life
P2: T1 mana
P3: Anything useful (will most likely hit rarity)
S1: Cast speed

S3: T1 ele res

Updated the endgame PoB with a Helical Ring build, for a slight dps/ehp improvement. It is feasible due to the low price of Helical Rings and Fracturing Orbs this league.

Hey, great guide.
Liquidated my zoomancer summonner to try it out got like 30 div left over.
Any tips what to upgrade next? Helm is my guess but I went all over with progression XD
