Path of Exile 3.16 League Starter Trash Build - Cold Snap/Vortex Occultist

Disclaimer Since i play hc ssf, my builds are generally oriented for that content. You wont see giga budget or giga damage builds, its all bumming it out with as little as possible.

Build features - SO CHILL EVEN BANANA CAN PLAY IT Gear Unique - Rime gaze helmet(its op) Rare wand with +1 to all cold skills and/or cold damage over time multiplier Anythin else is whatever unique and rares with most hp and resists to make sure you dont die

Skill links Auras - Clarity + Enfeeble or Temporal chains with Blasphemy support for early game. Clarity + Vitality and Enfeeble + Temporal Chains with Blasphemy support after Uber Lab. Main skill Vortex on left click while running Vortex - Arcane Surge - Hypothermia - Controlled Destruction - Efficacy - Swift Affliction. Arcane surge is really useful because vortex mana cost can get really steep. Cold snap - Controlled Destruction - Hypothermia - Onslaught. With Elusive removal this is a great source of moving faster than a turtle. Frost bomb with anything really its just there for cold exposure(-cold resistance) Flame dash - Faster casting Cast when damage taken - Tempest Shield - Increased duration

Flasks You really want Quartz flask! It makes all the difference in the world and ensures you dont die because of terrible movement ai :) Generally Quicksilver + Quartz + Granite + 2 life flasks with the immunities you need~

Leveling You can level with anything really, i generally just level with freezing pulse to keep it cold themed + frost bomb. If you do wand cold to spells damage recipe(magic wand + alteration + normal/magic/rare sapphire ring at lvl 8/14/20) you should not have a hard time having good damage. You can spend half an hour in chambers in act5 to level vortex, since vortex gets reduced cooldown with higher skill level and at lvl 48-49 you are pretty much good to go with vortex and cold snap + frost bombing it on bosses

Since all my characters are generally dead path of building link is missing general gear stuff but this build is quite simple so i`m sure it's easy to figure it out. https://pastebin.com/5F5Rgagh
