[PoE 3.23] Poet's Pen Frostblink of Wintry Blast - "BUDGET" SETUP

~50divs pob (bloodnotch) - https://pobb.in/f6b5Knt0UDJ9

IMPORTANT:

• CDR breakpoints - 153% needed for 10.10 aps, we get that from 11 power charges and a 43% cdr watcher's eye. If you are going Squire you will want to allocate Fleetfoot to make up for the missing cdr.
• Attack speed - 10% roll on poet's pen, enhance 3 in diallas and 18/20 faster attacks to hit exactly 10.10 aps. Check POB for your character!
• Mana cost - without Squire, it is very easy to balance mana. Inspiration support, militant faith with reduced mana cost per 10 devotion, 2 -7 mana cost rings and either 10% reduced mana cost mastery or some reduced mana cost jewels / ring mods. Crafted flask suffix is an option but it's awkward if your flasks are down for whatever reason. Frostblink must cost at least 1 mana to get inspiration charges!

Showcase notes:

• I'm still on my level 100 char so to compensate I have taken out +50 life mastery, 19/20 Frostblink (poet's pen gives +1 at lv100) and a bunch of unallocated passives.
• Bloodnotch is great but not required, it provides a big boost to survivability but the real MVP for defenses is 11 absorption charges from graven belt granting 132% of elemental damage recouped as energy shield - trivialises many essence mods that are otherwise quite dangerous. Crit multi jewels can replace Bloodnotch if you are comfortable without Bloodnotch.
• NOT A TANKY BUILD - I limit tested many times and I don't recommend face-tanking things, but if you just play normally I die about once in 60-100 maps in testing. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn7CfGKquPQ)
• Immutable Force has a breakpoint at 961% but if you are using graven belt you only need 940 or so depending on your implicit roll.
• Use Cold Snap to get chill on enemies - with 82% quality and bonechill in red socket, we only need 20% ailment effect to get 30% chill. I think the chilling area of Vaal cold snap that follows you is bugged (doesn't seem to be getting the 82% more chill effect?) so maybe just use normal cold snap.
• I have a bunch of unused sockets, if you have the strength, cwdt - immortal call is excellent. I'm 3 strength off from lv1 immortal call cos i forgot to get strength when buying gear LUL
• POB dps assumes perfectly executing the double hit on 30% chill enemy. If you don't oneshot essence monsters and cant namelock them the real dps will be MUCH lower (~10M or so).
• Trialmaster is a bitch. That is all.
• Upgrade options in comments.

Left 5-10 div for flasks / gems / etc Total ~ 50divs I actually paid significantly less because I stole several items for much cheaper than I think they're worth. (the helmet I got for less than 100c and I got this watcher's eye for 1div lol)
