Overview

Indigon/Manastorm/Traitor CoC Nova Pathfinder - Yes I like PF way too much so I just keep making builds with it is a Path of Exile Pathfinder build by thedeathbeam, made for the Ultimatum league (3.14). It is centered on Ice Nova and plays as a intelligence, spell, area, cold archetype. In Path of Building it reaches 6.83M DPS with 3.74K life, 741 energy shield. Key uniques include Kalisa's Grace, Indigon, Cloak of Defiance, Cinderswallow Urn, Bottled Faith.

thedeathbeam's Notes

Hello again everyone. So after being mostly finished with both Ele Hit and SA I decided to sell off some of my Ele Hit gear and fund this.

The core of the build is basically just scaling flasks and some mana on top. I stack around 100% increased flask effect so Bottled Faith gives me +4% base crit, then I get 2% base crit from Kalisa's Grace, a lot of increased crit from flask crit craft, bunch of attack speed from flask craft as well.

For mana recovery I stack Distillled Perfection and Liquid Inspiration, some mana recovery, flask recovery and also ofc flask effect on top, all of this scales my Enduring Mana flask really high (atm around 5.7k mana/s). With Indigon this also translates to life recovery so I also dont need Agnostic so I am skipping it.

For damage, I am using combination of Indigon and Manastorm. Indigon is providing increased damage and Manastorm flat damage. And yes, before you ask, I know that mana spending from Manastorm do not counts for Indigon mana spent recently, I stack up my Indigon with just vortex and cyclone, the synergy from stacking up mana recovery + mana amount is still there. Also Manastorm procs only from spells so my movement skill and cyclone do not procs it, so its not keeping me perma OOM.

I am also quite fast because I have a lot of flask effect on my alchemist quicksilver flask on top of running Tailwind and Elusive.

For defense I have Fortify, Sigil of Power, Arcane Cloak and 40% MoM (ideally I want 50% with Watcher's Eye), this comination is giving me very nice EHP numbers.

Also, why Pathfinder over Ascendant? Well, more flask effect, I did not needed the extra points from Asc and I was also lazy to relevel. Also PF is faster. And I like PF more :d

Is this better than regular CoC? Well, its faster, does more damage, its tankier. Downside is no HoI or explody chest tho, what might be off putting for some people. Also sometimes mana management is annoying, if you just want to hold right click permanently you cant do that with this build otherwise your Indigon will keep increasing your mana costs, sometimes you have to stop for a second or two and then resume.

Overall, very enjoyable build.

Here is PoB of my current character (running clear links atm, so woke inc aoe, no ele focus etc, at around 16M dps atm or so): https://pastebin.com/AQzdf5MM

And here is PoB of the final/theoretical setup (at around 50-60M dps, can scale higher): https://pastebin.com/S8xq5wpb

There is also an option to go ascendant with the new Maxaxa(whatever) shield what would be a lot tankier and I experimented with it in PoB, it looks very good, but I wanted to keep things simple and also use meme shield for big damage.

For initial investment, I wouldn't recommend starting this below at least 30 exalts (could go lower with inc crit strikes in main link, but setup like that would be a lot weaker)
