[3.26] ShakCentral's Cold DoT Witch For Everyone

So with the latest PoB and passive skill tree changes are we going to work in Harsh Lessons and/or Hasty Demise?

Harsh lessons seems good, and right next to the lev 85 pathing?
- minor nodes of:
+4 % Dot
+4 % Dot + 6% skill effect
+6 % Dot
then Harsh Lesson +12% Dot multi with spell skills

I think there might be an issue in your Elementalist POB. The one that is listed in the first post, only has two ascendancy points allocated at level 90. See image below

Golems will die and need to be manually resummoned in the Occultist PoB

I'd delete them to give a more accurate representation of the Occy version. My hunch is the Elementalist version will be much better, as using paper-defence, non-resummoning Golems to pump numbers in the Occy pob is pretty dishonest.

It's a shame that vortex on left-click was removed as that was a huge QoL for this archetype, hopefully the numerical buffs to the skills will be enough to bring it back...

This was before PoB got updated with 3.26 changes. Go to config and it will be under "Custom modifiers".

Why 6L in Vortex/Vaal Cold Snap and not for Wintertide Brand? Honestly question.

If wintertide brand is main source of damage, why you have 4 link on it and 5 link on nerfed vortex and cold snap?

Excited to play this build again after so long. Thanks for keeping it updated!

I tried this build but have never played a brand skill before. Brands seem basically un-usable theyre so clunky, what am i doing wrong? Do you have a video of it working?

Do you just have to constantly re-cast them? I read that brand recall resets their timer but it's not doing that.

Chaos golem isn't too bad to keep up as part of singletarget rotation; the defences are a bigger problem IMO. Not in love with so much reliance on a good Sacred Chainmail, which requires 100 more strength than we have with 3 strength jewels already on the tree.

Obviously it was a little short notice that these buffs got announced so easy to make some oversights, but I agree, Elementalist definitely seems like the play.

Trying this build in my 'own' way with pants gear. Solo mainly, nearly maps, half crafted gear with found/stolen from mercs.

I'm loving it.

I'm using freezing pulse with multi though as my tight spot skill (was using EOW which was awesome for freeze, but cannot sustain in the links/colours I have/found).

Riding fine with brand/vortex for now. But I can't get VS in my low link gear with V without trading (and some know this build needs certain things so they price it stupid high....when it's only digital *facepalm*).

I'm doing the Occult ver. My chaos golems are ok so far, they're not essential IMO until maps T5.

Good start build, but not EG without time/investment. It compliments my mates SF and fire dam build very well IMO. Carries peeps well too.

Defo something I can min/max in a few weeks after my other build.

Hats off to you dude. THANKS!
