Arctic Breath as main skill, Vortex and Cold Snap with Conc Effect in a 4L for boss dmg (or rather one of them as 5L in Rime Gaze which got buffed; although it reduces ES recharge hard. But you can use Bated Breath to counter it). | ||

I think Cloak of Defiance will be excellent for EB + MoM now that it has very high ES. Ah, didn't even know the Jewel is called Wildfire... EB + CoD sounds quite good now. I've heard they made some changes to ES so you can achieve constant regeneration etc. Have to look into that. Although I'm probably going to play the standard for the first time since I'm going to start with a friend who is completely new to the game. | ||

No need for accuracy or lycosidae, decent buff to the skill and carcass jack for a shitload of aoe could be fun. Multistrike + 8 frenzy charge should be ok as far as attack speed goes. Won't be amazing but probably a ton of fun :D | ||

Maybe there is a good brand + totem build that can be made around this. | ||

Really have to resist the lure of safe comfortable ED/contagion levelling into trying to make Death's Oath work on high-level content =p It sound crazy, but I'm wondering if with the new notable it might actually be worth building a non-ES Occultist for this purpose since you can take four relevant notables without touching Vile Bastion/Wicked Ward - base it off a life/MoM-based Trickster tree, maybe work in Aspect of the Spider via a craft depending on rarity, and I wonder (assuming you're happy with Flame Dash / Phase Run for movement) if instead of the Allelopathy-for-Blight-by-default, now there's another four sockets available due to not needing Wither-Spell Totem-Faster Casting-Increased Duration, you could craft yourself some sort of Shaper staff for a 6L+ Vaal Blight ... Non-ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier, maybe inbuilt CwC to chuck a cheeky Essence Drain in? Shame all the crit/power charge options don't do a lot for this sort of build. | ||

I'm doing CoC Ice Nova with Frostbolt in a Cospri's and a separate self-cast Vortex setup (instant cast so you can just mash the button while you're moving or attacking, don't need to trigger it). I think the CD on Vortex kills it as an option for your triggered CoC skill, but I'm hoping you can use it alongside a CoC setup as a secondary skill. I really like the instant cast mechanic for enabling builds that use more than one skill - it helps with the "why would I spend time using a second skill when I could just spend that time using my first skill a second time?" problem. Maybe Contagion will become instant cast someday... On December 06 2018 01:10 HolydaKing wrote: I think Cloak of Defiance will be excellent for EB + MoM now that it has very high ES. If you combine it with the new helm on an Occultist, the ES half of your HP pool has perma-recharge...seems like it might be good. | ||

Should do several million dps vs shaper/uber elder, has unlimited life leech slayer leech style (and runs acuities with vaal pact, so it's quick), has more than 7k hp with some defensive flasks so it looks viable from a distance. I'm quite pleased. Link to the PoB? I'm curious about this. nvm didn't see you did that just above, sorry. | ||

Overcapped res vs red map ele weakness etc. looks interesting, honestly I think this could be pretty viable even without the corruptions at a fairly reasonable price. Is the aquity really worth it over good rare gloves? | ||

Atziri's acuity and vaal pact on the tree seems redundant, otherwise looks really good. Wouldn't have been too expensive in previous leagues, but I'm guessing basically all of these uniques are gonna be crazy expensive this league. | ||
