All Ubers were completed with Trickster on a budget of ~70 Divines. Prices may vary, depending on the point in time and market state.

This is the end of Month 1 in Path of Exile 1 - Curse of the Allflame League. The player can reach this level of progression in the first 1-2 weeks of the league. This type of gear can also be much better with the same budget. This build should not be copied 1:1 and instead be adapted to the user's preferences.

Evasion stacking Cold DoT is the highest dps and the least tanky version of Cold DoT early on. This new shell can be used by all archetypal Cold DoT characters, but Trickster is the only one that can play it as CI at this stage, due to Escape Artist.

Uber Shaper is the Uber boss that should be completed first and as soon as possible. He is the key to unlocking Evasion stacking, with the introduction of the Unblinking Eye unique helmet.

This new unique allows us to get generic spell damage dps, which affects ALL our Cold DoT skills. This is very important, because previously I was using a 7L helmet with the main skill and the secondary skill in a 6L. The first skill ends up dot capping faster than the secondary skill, which is an issue if the player wants to add more dps into the build. With the Unblinking Eye, all skills have similar dps levels. Because of this, Vaal Cold Snap ends up dealing serious damage and can clear maps by itself in a lot of cases ( very hard to achieve previously ).

This unique is also giving A LOT more dps than a mirror tier double elevated 7L/8L helmet ( 8thL is aoe for Siphoning Trap of Pain ).

The fight went very smooth. Uber Shaper is countered by close to 90% max cold resistance and Lethe Shade, which protects against dots.

Since the user won't have this unique until Uber Shaper is down, it is recommended to play as a regular cold resistance stacker. At first, use regular gear and stack cold resistance to boost dps, then aim to replace the chest piece with Foulborn Perfect Form. This will enable the user to drop Grace and equip Purity of Ice, which will act as a pseudo Grace, while giving dps and tankiness against cold damage.

Tip: Try to protect yourself from the Bullet Hell ability, by staying at the edge of the arena. It's the spot where I take cover in the video. It is the place where the probability of getting hit is lowest. As for the balls, try to place them at the other edges of the arena, so you have more room to maneuver during the fight ( for low dps users ).
