Alkuroth's Notes
Ascendancy points are calculated in the configs until pob is updated with correct values:
Same with golems buffs.
Ascend points are flexible, experiment.
There are patchnotes for a bunch of passive tree buffs for cold damage / cold dot so I will implement those in the pob whenever that is released.
I did not include the buffs to vortex, they were substantial.
Did not include arcane surge buffs.
How to follow the guide?
Cold DoT
Leveling trees ->
1 large cluster (big respec) (should be very cheap for this gear) (2 watchstones) ->
2 large cluster (stuff is getting expensive) (all non uber bosses, (maybe) some ubers) ->
3 large cluster (it's pretty hard to push cold dot dps, so we are jumping through hoops for righteous fire) (it's expensive endgame setup) (the only super important corrupts are the helmet, each one adds 15% dps) (t17 and ubers probably)
Cold DoT / Ignite - you can scale both with the chaos golem so it has some synergy
vortex ignite - you pretty much need the megalos for this build to have generic scaling.
Forbidden Rite
Leveling trees ->
1 large cluster ->
fr poison minimalist (1 of the three minimalist trees, if the megalos are cheap do that one) ->
fr poison 1000% or fr poison flexible (if megalo are cheap do 1000%)
Disclaimers
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
the cold dot build has a LOT of buttons to press.
Yes there are a lot of configs checked but all of them should either have high uptime or are not being applied or have minimal effect on the build.
If there is a config checked that is making a big difference in damage or defense please let me know.
I know it looks messy but it's important for min maxing a build to have these things checked and being able to see items etc that have these modifiers in the full dps or max hit calculator.
Important
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If one of the golems is disabled in the config, you can summon 2 of your most important golem (higher chance for it to always be alive). But keep in mind of your max golems available.
I did not factor in the golem levels into these buffs. So all the mods that say at level 20 are going to be a decent amount higher. (dot mult, inc dmg, acc, mana reg, life reg)
Flexible setup looks to be better unless you are making use of all 5 golems. The golems do lose a chunk of hp on flexible though, so that might cause some problems in endgame content.
Supposedly you can use use golems with their alt gem counterparts. So stone golem of safeguarding might be a strong investment.
Kill Alira for early elemental resistance. Switch to passive point for endgame setup.
If you are running the low life setups that only have 75% chaos res and 30% chaos damage taken from es before life, try not to add any extra damage as chaos modifiers on enemies.
For cold DoT, there is a new mastery that gives 1% cold dot mult for 4% overcapped cold res. If you can stack a lot of cold resistance this is an insanely strong node.
Questions and Answers
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Why are you using the searing / exarch implicits (While a Unique Enemy is in your Presence)?
- Because we have enough damage that every content in the game will melt, only thing that is tanky will be bosses and rogue exiles probably.
The dps doesn't look that great.
- Check the config, uber pinnacle is probably enabled since the build goes past the dot cap. Uber pinnacle adds a 70% less damage taken mod.
My golems are dieing.
- Allocate grave intentions
I don't have enough passive points?
Which nodes can I give up?
- fr poison 1k effect - faith and steel cluster
- fr poison flexible - poison mastery 20%dps - fatal toxins - faith and steel cluster
- 3 large cluster - divine judgement and preceding nodes
Mana costs look bad in the pob
- So the way mana works is as you cast your regen is actively applying. And you won't actually be sitting in place for a real long time for any content.
- Anything that takes awhile to kill is going to be the big bosses with phases. The second you start moving your mana is full again.
- Also I underestimated the lightning golem's mana regen it is granting us.
Mana costs feel bad in game
- Okay here's some solutions:
- Use the reduced mana cost ring.
- Swap out an aura for clarity.
- Use arcane surge with forbidden rite.
Stuff that might be worth looking into.

Summoning multiple golems. I'm not exactly sure how it works. It's going to be real easy to hit 5 max golems and therefore all 5 different type of buffs. With other pieces I think we can hit over 10 golems. This is particularly potent at 150% increased damage per golem

ascend point +2
passive tree +1

Wasn't thinking I would do another zero to hero but it ended up that way. Extremely in depth pob for leveling with cold dot as a golem stacker elementalist. Eventually working your way up to the GOLEMXODIA, which is taking advantage of golem effect stacking to solve both offense and defense. The goal was to have a realistic pob for all levels of the game, leveling, maps, bosses, ubers. There are multiple endgame setups in this pob for cold dot and forbidden rite.
Endgame Variations: cold dot vortex ignite forbidden rite winter orb
