Perma Vaal Cold Snap Cold res stacker Occultist

Hi everyone,

I saw a lot of people talking about Cold DoT for the upcoming league, and some of you mentioned the tech for a perma vaal cold snap with the chaos bloodline. I just wanted to share my take on this archetype with a build I made back in keepers league, but that should be stronger now that cold snap and its vaal variant have been decently buffed.

This is not really a guide for league starting cold dot per se (since there are already a ton of very high quality guides out there for that), but more like an idea of where to go for the late game if you wanted to try something a bit different! And to be fair even during Keepers this setup cost me around 15 divs total which is a very decent price.

The idea of the build is to make use of the cold dot increased by overcapped cold resistance mastery. To maximize this we use two Will of Tul rings and stack cold damage and resistance everywhere (with a 12p cluster and light of meaning for example). With that we can giga boost purity of ice to give us a nice chunk of damage. To double dip on aura effect, we run frostbite with blasphemy to turn it into an aura which makes it super strong and allows us to run an eye of malice to further reduce the enemies' resistances.

It's a very comfy mapper since you're literally just walking around perma freezing and killing everything. It has decent recovery, max block and feels overall good to play. The video shows that even when playing like a complete bozo like me you can still clear most content.

Only caveat is 7k phys max hit LO
