[3.9] WINDS OF WINTER: Endgame Low Life Freezing Pulse Occultist | All Content | Magic Find | $$$$
I'm pretty sure it does, and more like 16% or so because of increased chill effect on cold snap and bonechill.
I'm using frostbomb in the 4th socket for POB tooltip but in-game it doesn't seem to trigger frequently enough. Also considering dropping the entire combo to level 1 for consistent triggers (consistent -25 cold res, bonechill and frenzy charges). Also highly recommend getting corrupted first snows - corrupted blood immunity lets you drop staunching flasks (yes you are still affected by regular bleeds, but I never died or even took any significant damage from those yet, though I suppose some bosses like Atziri or Rigwald if you somehow get hit by his wolf form could be an issue); silence immunity is also nice, didn't think it was necessary until I started delving, at low depths if you stop freezing stuff you die.

" Yeah frostbomb looks really amazing in PoB but I played with it a ton and I'm pretty convinced it's bad. It feels far too slow to be effective. The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard

Well that was a good run, thanks for the build :)
Last 50 levels turned out way harder than I expected so didn't quite make it to the goal. Zuletzt bearbeitet von Rivx#4632 um 04.03.2019, 16:06:06

Glad you had fun!
I'm not sure if I'm going to be playing in 3.6 or not. I did a bunch of red elder farming in 3.5 in Standard with this build (20-30 ish kills?) with zero watcher's eye drops and it just kind of turned me off from playing since I used to average a drop about once every three-ish kills before 3.5. Target farming things like delve or incursion isn't as profitable in standard as it is in leagues so it has felt like Standard is just sort of a dead league for me at the moment. That said, I will do a build guide update after the path of building update releases for 3.6 and we can see the new balance overhaul for Freezing Pulse.

" Yeah it's looking like this will be pretty strong. They buffed the damage by about 11% or so. Hatred is likely to be worth running now, instead of Haste. Hard to argue with a free 18% More multiplier. The passive tree I'm less certain of; I'll need to see the updated Path of Building to properly min/max. The big thing I'm uncertain of is if it will be worth it to take Dark Arts still; Dark Arts got buffed but now would take 6 points instead of 4 to get. I'm also betting that it's inefficient to take Divine Judgment (currently Celestial Judgement) for the same reason... it will be a 4 point investment instead of 3. We'll have to see. Looks like it will be overall slightly slower but heavier-hitting. Also, a big DPS boost is now available in the form of Hatred +crit chance Watcher's Eye jewels. --EDIT-- Forgot about the new Auras like Zealotry. Will have to see numbers on them; maybe they are better than Hatred.

OK, min-maxing the new passive tree is a bit of a nightmare. They made it a LOT harder to figure out what is perfectly optimal. I like it.
A few initial thoughts on the passive tree changes after spending some time in PoB:
Initial thoughts on gear changes in 3.6:
Initial thoughts on Gem changes(this is most tentative since we don't have final info on several gems yet):
So that's my thoughts so far. Guide update coming sometime after final Path of Building update for 3.6. POST-GEM REVEAL EDIT Two reactions to the gem reveals:
There's enough that will need testing that it might be a couple days after patch before the guide gets updated. The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard The 82nd character to hit Delve 1000 in Standard Zuletzt bearbeitet von tackle70#1293 um 07.03.2019, 00:14:23

" The build is labeled "endgame optimized"... What did you expect? A Tabula and some 10c rares? On a budget / new league you would probably start as CI and adapt your gear as you go, working towards the shavs and then the other gear pieces. The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard

" Great catch. I think I was under the mistaken assumption that the +10 Dex node connecting out of the Witch area would be needed, but it's not. Will be working on an update as soon as the full path of building update goes live. Want to tinker with some of the guide as well. The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard
