Quick Winter Orb guide from a Worb Enjoyer that plays Badge of the Brotherhood Power Charge Stacking Occultist version

Edit: I said "guide" but yet I posted a bunch of PoBs. Let me post my "old guide" so at least I may be providing some content for players new to Worb: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/xav77a/winter_orb_occultist_319_long_post_i_go_over/

Here's some existing PoBs that are fully functional in standard - However, keep in mind these are ones that STILL run Hatred (and Hatred has been nerfed badly) so they aren't up to date whatsoever. Also these are simple scuffed PoBs for the most part. They are extracted from my profile Here is the link to profile.

Build 1 ... Build 2 ... Build 3 ... Build 4

But Build 5 is closest to what's going to be my build for this league - its the one that runs Zealotry.

Build 5

I just pumped the numbers in PoB, and look at the difference. Also, the PoB Im about to link JUST SIMPLY REMOVED ZEALOTRY after pumping the number buffs.

New build

Now - this is considering that new ascendency node, where you need to upkeep stacks to 5 in order to get 61% more damage. This will be easy based on Worb playstyle. If anything, it'll just take a bit to getting used to. Cuz 61% more damage is definitely worth it, worb usually stops to channel every couple seconds anyway, and YOU DONT HAVE TO RUN ZEALOTRY IF U NEED MANA SPACE. woohoo!

If you made it this far, good for you.

The proper builds to follow are the Elementalist (zizaran) version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZypCJ-5Bog

The zizaran version is a go to version that covers all bases without going too deep into end game budgeting, aka the ziz version will allow any player to play worb on a budget probably less than 50 div and comfortably do most content (bossing will still be an issue though, his EHP looks high but its Max hit that kills worb builds)

and next, the Ralakesh Boots version https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage?class=Occultist&skills=Winter+Orb

The Ralakesh version has historically been very strong and can usually do almost all content with good budget. There are many videos of people doing ubers with this version, cuz it runs the maven belt and that gives an enormous defensive boost for the build.

So I've given you all options here. First, the one I always choose to run. Second, the Zizaran Meta version. And third, the actual OP version everyone would play if they wanna scale end game. Choose your poison.
