ZiggyD Gaming's Notes

Path of Exile Betrayal - An update to the Cold Damage Over Time Occultist Build I talked about on the Exiled Podcast with Ziz - Cold Snap and Vortex have proven very powerful and CI / energy shield builds seem to be stronger than ever with the occultist buffs and more energy shield available from the tree and gear along with a powerful new ES heal from the focus skill.

Path of Building Link: https://pastebin.com/5pYfyBK3 (NOW CLEANED UP SKILLS) Note the levelling tree and endgame (current) tree down the bottom - the gear and skill set up are based on my current character. Kill all bandits.

Level with freeze pulse, frostbomb and then Ice Nova + Trap in Act 1 and 2. The Swap to Cold Snap and Vortex with Frost Bomb support when you get them.

Ascendancy Progression:

  • Void Beacon from Normal Lab
  • Wicked Ward from Cruel
  • Vile Bastion from Merc
  • Finish up with Frigid Wake

Auras are Discipline and a Frost Bite Blasphemy Curse. You can either get a second curse or Aspect of the Spider. An aspect ring with no other good stats is very cheap but a good stat one will be more expensive so gear around it.
