ds_lily - Cold DOT Occultist Starter

===Notes=== Since PoB is not updated for 3.20 I have included some custom settings in the config section to simulate the curse changes, if PoB updates to 3.20 then you should remove them + put curses to level 20. ===Build Rating=== Boss Damage: 5/10 Damage Uptime: 9/10 Clear Speed: 8/10 Defense: 5/10 ===Leveling=== You can level with Spark up to level 28 and then swap to Creeping Frost, or you can go right to Creeping Frost at lvl 12. Spark will be slightly smoother until level 28 but it's mostly preference. I recommend keeping your Creeping Frost linked with Greater Volley/Pierce/Hypothermia separately from Vortex until you get a 5 link and a decent amount of DoT nodes on your tree. The hit based damage of Creeping Frost will carry for awhile. Wand Recipe: Magic wand + Alt Orb + Sapphire Ring Level 8 Recipe: Normal Sapphire Recraft Wand at Level 20 Recipe: Rare Sapphire ===Gear=== Weapon: Fracture +1 cold/all spells, then try to land dot multi while using Essence of Woe + multimod After you get to maps you can grab a wand from Act 1 and use Essence of Woes until you hit cold dot multi / +1 cold for a good budget wand that will carry you. Armour: Mostly looking for life + suppression + res with essences Elevore is good to cap suppression early Gloves: Essence of Delirium for 30% more DoT damage for your cold snap until you get good life / suppression, ideally try to fracture the damage mod Jewelry: Life / res on rings, no great way to craft this +1 cold gems / dot multi on amulet, no great way to craft this ===Map Mods=== Bricks Build: Elemental Reflect No Regen Avoid: Less Curse Effect
