Quick showcase of Cold SST Trickster, my favorite build in a long time. PoB and Drox kill video in comments.

> Quick showcase of a T16 Mesa, with gear overview. Watching the video afterwards I noticed that I forgot to enable Blood Rage. So I was a lot slower than I should have been. I didn't notice because I only recently switched to Death Rush for mapping, so I am not yet used to Adrenaline. > > POB (mapping): https://pobb.in/egFKP0JNYUzw > > Since Death Rush's Adrenaline adds so much DPS that wouldn't be available while bossing, here a PoB with my ring swap and Adrenaline off: > > PoB: Bossing: https://pobb.in/p7AoOh7LL6Z5 > > I left the flasks turned on since I have pretty decent uptime even during Pinnacle boss fights.

Overall a great allrounder. Great clear speed, very good defenses and more than decent single target DPS. Having an absolute blast with it. Also very nice that absolutely everything you can encounter in maps, including bosses, will be perma frozen.

Feel free to throw questions, or even suggestions for improvements, my way in the comments.

As for investment, I would say maybe 40-45 Divines. That includes the 15 Divines I paid for the Ashes a week ago and the luxory stuff like the 9 Divines for the Endurance Charge Grand Spectrum. Totally not needed, I played it up to a day ago without it and had a 38c crit chance Grand Spectrum in its place. Lost a good chunk of damage with the swap actually.

A lot of the rares were self crafted, so I would imagine if you went out to buy them you would pay a lot more.

EDIT: Oh, and Ashes is absolutely not mandatory either. Many play the build with Pandemonius instead. You would use "Sovereignty" as the annoint instead and would get the mana reservation implicit on helmet instead of the mana cost one I use. Then you can run the same auras. It would prevent you from using Death Rush tho, because you would definitely need two -mana cost crafts on the rings without the helmet implicit I use. Totally workable solution to cut a huge chunk out of the budget needed, but will result in lower DPS of course.

EDIT2: I am on poe.ninja now. I leveled to 99 and made some big upgrades to my gear. For what its worth, outside of three absolute glass cannons that have barely any defensive layers I ended up leading in DPS:
