Oh one more thing, why conc effect on cold snap, instead of inc. AoE?

I hit 10% pen on boots and figured rerolling it would be a crime, so sticking to flask spam for now. Yesterday's lab was not the most pleasant experience, with the reflect lieutenant.

Okay just finished respeccing everything, POB shows 1.5M shaper DPS. So far I'm noticing severe lack of mana without boots enchant, though hitting the flask more often helps.

Clarity+disc watchers are far too expensive (80ex) so I'm using a random clarity one. Flame dash recovery mod is really nice, it turns out! (Not so much if I was planning to switch out haste, though) Also took the ES recharge cluster since it's my main defensive mechanic without leech/regen.

Also got an anti-corrupting blood corruption on one of the jewels since they're cheap as dirt. Though I don't think it's a good enough reason to drop bleed flask, even though normal bleeds aren't threatening, they still mess with ES recharge. Ignite flask would be nice to have :(

Why level 20 CWDT on IC? I thought it has a pretty low cooldown, so wasting it isn't an issue?

Update: first try uber elder deathless, looks good!

On Atziri I killed myself in half a second on the 2% reflect, gotta shoot one at a time lol.

I have a question. Where does leech come from? Thanks.

Boots enchant, amulet corrupt, precursors. If you don't have those, don't use ghost reaver and rely on recharge/regen instead (works fine as Occultist).

Yeah the boot enchant is a big quality of life for mapping. You pop a mana flask all the time without it, which I found annoying.

I swap in an ignite flask against the Phoenix boss and against the Enslaver guardian. I don't usually find ignite to be problematic otherwise.

I use level 20 on the IC because I found I only need it when taking huge burst damage, and didn't want to risk having it on cooldown from meaningless damage when the bursts came. I didn't really test high vs low level though... simply tossed on the lvl 20 on this theory and it solved all my problems so I figured "good enough".

Should i use Mark of the Shaper and a rare ring with warlock's mark curse on hit for more damage ? And have any more way to increas dps ? my dps so low, just around 300k full buff. you can check my profile. thanks

Your ring setup is fine as a budget setup, assuming your resists are capped. Get rid of Projectile Weakness as a CWDT curse if you are running a curse on hit setup. No point since this build doesn't have dual curse capability.

Your DPS is low because:
1) Your freezing pulse is only 19/13
2) You are running a level 3 empower in a Shavs without a +1 corruption. This is not a great setup. Run Increased Critical Strikes instead. Don't worry about Empower unless you have a level 4 AND a +1 shavs.
3) None of your supporting damage gems have quality in the build
4) You are running Chayula amulet instead of Pandemonius (I'm guessing because you don't have a Watcher's eye with +ES mod)
5) Your Arcane surge is overleveled and will not trigger on every use of Flame Dash
6) Your Void Batteries don't have great rolls on cast speed
7) Your rare damage jewels are bad. Probably not even worth the 3 passives for jewels like that. You need jewels with stacked Crit Multi.
8) You haven't taken the Arcane Potency cluster northwest of the Witch
9) You haven't completed uber lab to get Void Beacon yet

Hi ,

i maybe miss something , but how did you get the chaos resist on this build ?

Rivx 님이 작성:

If you can't afford good precursors, mark of shaper+elder ring with warlords is a very good alternative and gives much needed leech, allowing to drop mana flask.

@op: have you considered frost bomb? It's a bit clunky but gives very significant damage boost on bosses. Also, wise oak/promise seem pretty solid.

Just to maximize damage off bonechill debuff

Uh, cold snap doesn't seem to deal that much damage on hit, on bosses that will be like 2% chill, while chilled ground effect from it provides 10% base and doesn't benefit from conc effect.
