Hey thanks for the great build. I have one question to ask: What do you think of using a Pandemonious amulet in this build? Cheers.

Thanks for this great guide - just one question, I see in rankings lots of players add "Cold to Fire" gem... like here: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/swoozers/jimmy_jetpack?i=1&search=skill%3DWinter-Orb

But I do not understand why... is there a specific reason / benefit?

That's absolutely something you can POB, but since I've done it already I'll tell you the gist. Not enough life or other survival nodes within reach to make up for the 30/40 dodge loss.

Armor isn't tuned well and is almost irrelevant. Energy shield is irrelevant on a build that uses life. And the decreases are only Less(not a multiplicative/overall reduction), so the actual reductions are very small even if you use EB+MOM in your build. The only tangible reduction in defense is the -block(for dual wield or shield users, maybe for staff users if you're going that route. And only attack block), and that's also small which the extra 10(in 40) more than makes up for.

And how are you getting hit much more?

The trade for those 9 pts is more damage or quality of life or a mix of both.

I assume that without the acro/Phase Acro, your didge chance is far less meaning overall you get hit a lot more.

I'm confused. The first thing you said is there's not enough survival nodes in reach to make up for the loss of acro/phase acro.

Your initial opinion was that the increase in life from this tree opposed to 3.5 Winter Orb's tree, was that this variant is better, which would oppose your statement that acro/phase acro cant be made up for.

I'm trying to understand, not argue. I assume you have more experience and knowledge on this topic, so in your opinion, going from my current tree, using acro/phase acro, switching to the crit tree with about 1k more life, does survivability go up, down, or stay about the same?

Thanks
