Cold Dot Occultist League Starter for 3.21 Path of Exile Crucible

This is my Cold Damage over Time Occultist league starter build guide for Path of Exile 3.21 Crucible League! This build is perfect for players looking to start the league strong and tackle endgame content with ease. In this video, I'll walk you through the build, from the passive skill tree to gem links, itemization, and more. I put emphasis on quality of life and damage while also prioritizing survivability. This build is hardcore viable. Cold DoT Occultist build utilizes a combination of skills and mechanics, including Cold Snap, Vortex, Creeping Frost and Triple Curses to deal massive damage over time while staying safe. It requires you to press lots of buttons. The build is a very powerful and versatile league starter and is also budget friendly ( although you can invest hundreds of divines in it). Cold DoT can be played on ascendant, elementalist or trickster, but I chose Occultist(it's more fun). In End Game you can expect around 15-20m Shaper dps.

This build has a strong start, but can't kill ubers easily. You need to invest at least 20-30 divines to make it able to farm uber bosses safely and even so, it does it very slow. It can clear lvl 83 logbooks with less than 1 divine investment. Occultist is very strong when running maps with a lot of monsters(due to profane bloom). It does NOT one shot bosses regardless of how much you invest in it, so you will have to learn boss fights and dodge stuff. IMO the playstyle is very fun.

I didnt update the endgame pob for 3.21 but it is pretty similar to the one in 3.20 https://pastebin.com/4wnciU7V 3.21 Pob(lvl 86) - https://pastebin.com/NV1V0tVb For leveling you can use this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSVHqvNDyKs&t=8219s&ab_channel=Balaar In 3.21 wand recipe changed, arcane surge changed and there no longer onslaught, maybe you can replace onslaught with momentum, but leveling is still similar.
