If that's the case then the CI version is total rubbish as from the comparison below, the CI build only has 900ES over the one other but less than half the damage. 900ES is barely that much more tanky for that big of a dps difference.

WITHOUT discipline on a CI build, the POB lands on:
8992 ES
1.3M dot DPS

the LL build, which can fit in discipline with prism guardian:
8049 ES
2.7M dot DPS


I think if you're going to go CI
then put in discipline, skitterbot and frostbite:
10072 ES
1.24 dot DPS

Case can be made for putting aspect of the spider instead of skitterbot or frostbite too.

Discipline, Skitterbots and Frostbite (through Blasphemy) still exceeds mana pool even with Enlighten 4.

You cannot put everything together with Enlighten, because that's 5 gems total.

It looks like Discipline is really not welcome here.

I don't have my enlighten at L3 yet, let alone L2

but in my pob identity fork, i have :

4: blasphemy + frostbite + enlighten 3 + skitterbots
4: cwdt + IC + duration, discipline unlinked
3: flash dash + arcane surge + second wind

and it lands on 1% mana

I think you may have linked the aura on its own to a support gem with a multipler like increased duration, arcane surge or second wind.

If need be, you can run another enlighten and take out the increased duration link on your cwdt+ic

Hi!

I followed your build to make an SSFHC character this league. I played vortex/coldsnap build previous leagues on SSFHC ages ago so im not sure if it was this build or not but it feels different. Im currently lv 67 with 2.2k life and 950 ES...

My problem is with PoB. I changed everything to the SSF HC items in the PoB and the build have 5.4k ES... thats not sustainable on HC. Not to mention the mana is +22% more reserved. I don't know how you can use Malevolance with Discipline and a blasphemy curse... Not to mention I first have to find an enlighten support (the mentioned 22% more reserved mana is with lv3 enlighten)...

I guess ill use Malevolance with Discipline for now.. i don't know how to curse enemies for the ascendancy ...

I remember when i made a build like this had 10k ES with self crafted gear... idk what i doing wrong. You can check my profile for gear and passive if i don't rip...

My wand has lightning damage to spells on it with Orb of Storms, Storm Brand and Frost Bomb on it.

With EE, won't it mess up the -cold resist debuff since I'm triggering the spell with Vortex or Cold Snap, etc?

Or does the triggered spells actually count as the first hit?

"

This is by far my most asked about build piece. Elemental Equilibrium says "Enemies you hit with Elemental Damage temporarily get +25% Resistance to those Elements and -50% Resistance to other Elements". They key word is "hit". Here's how this works for Vortex:

Step 1: Get a weapon with the mod "Trigger a socketed spell whenever you use a skill" (The process is described below). Once you have this mod on your weapon, take EE on the tree.

Step 2: Roll 3 blue sockets on your weapon (don't have to be linked), and place Storm Brand, Frost Bomb, and Orb of Storms into these sockets.

Step 3: Kill everything.

Once you have EE and this mod, every time you do anything, either Storm Brand, Orb of Storms, or Frost Bomb will be cast automatically. If Storm Brand or Orb of Storms is cast, they will hit enemies repeatedly with lightning damage, constantly ensuring that enemies have -50% to their Cold Resistance. If Frost Bomb is cast, there is a delay before it detonates. During this time, Frost Bomb reduces enemy Cold Resistance even further. Once Frost Bomb hits, Storm Brand or Orb of Storms will still be going off, meaning that the cold hit of Frost Bomb is almost immediately overridden with a fresh -50 cold res.

So the overall progression is as follows:

-Cast Vortex/Cold Snap. Enemies have +25% Cold Res from the hit. Not good.

-Storm Brand casts and begins hitting. Enemies in the Vortex/CS DoT effect now have -50 Cold Res. Very good.

-Cast Vortex/Cold Snap. Enemies have +25% Cold Res for a fraction of a second, but Storm Brand resets this to -50. Very good.

-OoS casts and begins hitting. Enemies in the Vortex/CS DoT effect continue to have -50 Cold Res. Very good.

-Cast Vortex/Cold Snap. Enemies have +25% Cold Res for a fraction of a second, but Storm Brand/OoS resets this to -50. Very good.

-Frost Bomb casts. Enemies in its area have a total of -75% Cold Res. Frost Bomb explodes, and enemies have +25% Cold Res for a fraction of a second, but Storm Brand/OoS resets this to -50. Very good.

Repeat.
