First I lovd this build, my last League was Synthesis with Trickster and cold/snap Vortex which was pretty insane op.

I wanted to try this time the Occultist version of the build and wanted to see how far I get without using any guides etc.

Would say I am now at arround 100Ex invested in this build and would like to give my insights on some key points and ask for them help in other points. In the end I think I can bring some pretty good tips for leveling which helped me alot and I missed in this thread (started reading yesterday so please do not judge if on page 40 something someone already wrote this).

First this Char can do any content and I would say he is the most well rounded of them all, even cheap and Leaguestarter viable and insanly costly to min/max. The only weakness is the monolith where this char really is not at its best and there are far better builds be suited for this.

I had the expierence by playing that I was a little squishy when playing with the prism shield even so I had max block/max spell block alot of ES and Spider/Temp Chains and Enfeeble running.

I Loved the change to a shield where I had 300ES, Recover ES on block and + 1 cold gems, I did not need additional spell Block cause I am already maxed there.

Then I felt I was a little lacking Damage which was crying on a very high standard because of the way you are anyway melting everything. I dropped Enfeeble to a Damage Amulet with 16 Cold DoT Multi, + Area Damage, alot of ES and Resi.

With changing the shield I lost Enfeeble anyway because I can not reserve that much mana/lfe without dropping Temp Chains / Malevolence, Discipline and Aspect of the Spider. I am using Awakened Blasphemy lev 5 and there starts my questioning ? I read something about a big advantage using awakened Blasphemy, I have all the awakened gems included but I am not quite aware of all of their affects since I completley missed those leagues. Can you check my Char and gear and help me maybe again fitting for example Enfeeble in?

I think my weapon is pretty insane (cold dot multi tier 1, cold spell gems +1, spell damage 66%, trigger sockted spell and 10% increased damage per frenzy charge (luckiest slam ever), also my shield should be not upgradable and my chest if I am not spending 80Ex + (I am already have corruped +2 duration running). But I am quite unsure how to min max any further and would appreciate any help.

My thoughts on new Cluster jewel: Via Mage Hunter, Conjured Wall and Thaumaphoge you get max spell block the easy way and alot of damage boost, Im using a large Cluster Jewel with 8 total 2 jewel spots and these 3 key notes.

I think 1 Brush with Dead and Vile Reinvogation should be mandatory, I use 2 of these jewels since I am not running a medium curse Jewel what I would do If I can implement Enfeeble again. So help there really is appreciated.

For leveling I can name some very nice uniques which helped me alot:

Cereberus Limp and Aegis Aurora (gives through the combo a very high amount of ES, Spell Damage, Armor and Max Cold Res... Before you can go shavronne + prism + low life + trigger spell weapon you can run Chaos Inoculation with even a Tablula and still have over 6K ES. If you use trashy ES 6 link you will go nover 7500 ES on white to yellow maps. I was able to clear red maps with Zahndethus' Cassock Sage's Robe which was very cheap...
For a belt a bated Breath was nuts and the boots I would def recommend using Rainbowstrides, they have + Block spell damage, dex, movespeed and All res for 1c... I vaaled like 30 of them and got + 2 curse... So you can clear basiclly all conted on low uniques without spending more then 50c.... this build I LOVE IT!

Depends on what you mean by nice wand.
There is a guide on pages ~92-94 on crafting 4ex+ spell damage and cold multy wand

Posting all my gear for reference, will be multimodding the dagger with arcane surge/cast speed and dagger is crucial for whirling blades+fortify for extra tankiness.

Have curses on cwdt to save room for auras :)
