Winter orb 3.28. league start 3:54:19 campaign, sub 7 hour eater exarch.

This version is alot faster. Why minionnodes? Effective highvalue points for DMG and Attack Speed (for shield charge). The minion life nodes makes golems stay alive and thusly a very good choice for character stat boosting. Use minions with meatshield and lifetap in a trigger helm setup for mapping, can be setup at around start of red maps, gives you 100% uptime on minions. attackspeed for shield charge is king for fast campaign and maps. Why not elementalist? Profane bloom with curseonhit is BiS for smooth early mapping, Vile bastion gives very good value for speccing into defence (spell block), defence is way better than the extra 40-50% more dmg you get from elementalist. Why not crit early? Its alot of skillpoint investment for way less defence and alittle more consistant damage (just not worth it), you get something like 20% more damage early, 40% more conditional damage meaning realisticly not up all the time but looks good on POB. in my testing you die alot, especially in t16+ so i would never fall into the "damage is the best defence" trap, its only true if you oneshot and for mapping not even then. When to switch from totems to hydrosphere? around start of red maps, in my testing they are lower dmg but stay alive so its more consistant. LVING: Level with rolling magma holy flame totem firewall to lvl28, at 28 when you have 3 chance/fusing orbs switch to winter orb. Mule momentum from ranger, weapon swap for shield charge, use high APS weapon, weapon swap to wands for boss dmg. LVL 28: Library: Haste Faster attacks for shield charge winter orb x2 Ice bite support (for self cast winter orb, a must for frenzy charges) A1 vendor: Lesser multi proj x2 Spell totem Total: 3 chance/fusing 1 alteration 4 transmutation orb Good support gems for winter orb: Added cold faster casting infused channeling arcane surge cold pen hypothermia cruelty Do not use: controlled destruction, elemental focus (its ok for spell totem setup), concentrated effect. A4: Buy: Lightning golem - chance orb Greater multiproj nr2 - alchemy orb Quest: Greater multiproj nr1 When you get +1 golem skill point from tree get flame golem. Start maps: Get: bitter dream -> mark of submission -> null and void -> carefull planning if carcass jack is cheap, get it 5th. deaths rush is a luxury item that is very good. Corrupted blood immunity on flask or jewel.
