League Start Guide:

This is Delve variation of the build, so end point DPS is a bit lower but defense is extremely high with my build. Refer to Endgame tree for the final gearing you will need to work to.

Builds Breakdown:

Key uniques while leveling build: The attached tree shows the minimal uniques you require to get to mapping; to put things into perspective, if you look at the 3.18 poe.ninja damage levels on day 2 for Vortex Occultist (https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds?time-machine=day-2&skill=Vortex), they sit around what this build is showing due to minimal gearing.

The first chase unique to acquire will be the following order once you get to mapping:

1. Aegis Aurora Shield (this will give you crazy levels of block, armour and 2% of energy sheidl recovered on block)
2. Crown of the Inward Eye.
3. Skin of the Lords (this is significant as it will give you +2 to all skill gems).
4. Aul's Uprising (Hatred roll) - this will give you a free hatred aura which will beef up your cold dot.

Items Adjusted for per Path Notes 3.19

• (NERF) (Removed from the build) The Reservation Mastery that granted 15% increased Mana Reservation Efficiency of Skills has been removed from the Passive Skill Tree.
• (NERF) Defiance Banner now grants you and nearby allies 15-24% increased Armour and Evasion Rating at gem levels 1-20 (previously 30-49%)

Early Leveling:

Act 1: Start Freezing Pulse; add greater multiple projectiles and added cold damage. Also use frost bomb to proc cold elemental exposure to enemies to increase damage of freezing pulse.
Also map either steel Skin or Molten Shell to your left click button to cast this as your move. Run Clarity and Vitality for sustain.

Act 2: Continuue leveling with Freezing Pulse; add faster casting once avaliable and Herald of Ice.

Act 3: Vortex will become avaliable and will be usable once you hit level 28. Map the skill to your move (left mouse click button) button and use controlled destruction, controlled destruction, hypothermia (level 31) and elemental focus.
Also pick up cold snap to increase cold dot and allow you to generate frenzy charges as enemies die in the cold snap area of effect.

Act 4: Setup up a cast when damage taken Molten Shell when CWDT becomes avaliable.

From Act 4 onwards; continue to progress through the Campign; note - do not take CI (Chaos innoculation until you have around 3k ES in your pool. If you do, you're gonna have a bad time.

If you choose to go the Low Life Route; use this tree https://pastebin.com/bK0zeasT. You might not be able to get a shav's stright up so go with a Solaris Lorica chest piece so you can use Low Life and reserve the Life pool along with the Prism Guardian Shield.

Trees Provided: Level 15 Level 30 Level 50 Level 74 (map start) Endgame PoB (Delve 650+)
