How it works
Скрытый текст
We are using Penance brand which is a physical brand that converts 50% of the physical damage to lightning. We then convert the remaining 50% to lightning and then convert that lightning to cold to increase our survivability. We scale the damage with power charges and cluster jewels to increase damage, range and activation frequency. Adding Explosive chest onto that and we've got really nice clear and single target.

Video guide link is the actual pob link. And the pob section contains an outdated 3.11 link. Will check out the build, I have used your HoT AND BV HoI build last league, both were dope, keep up the good work!

Help Alira if you need res, I switched over to 2 passives after getting double clusters and had more than enough res.
Can this do simulacrum 20/20?
you do sim 20/20 as a warmpup with this build.
Threw this together today.

Feeling my single target is abit crappy :(

I know im missing some of the clusters which im working today.

Any suggestions?
Also dunno if my damage is enough for simu i got pretty much demolished after wave 17
id like to play your build, but after starting with poison bv everything feels super slow. so what do you think of using withering step, taking no witness in the three and maybe even anoint freedom of movement?
